A mini SUV, the Honda HR-V stands for Hybrid Recreation Vehicle, and was put into production in 1999. Initially, this 'joy machine' entered the European markets as a three-door front wheel drive and four wheel drive model, but was later transformed to a five door version, with an attractive design which targeted the young buyers who were on the lookout for a funky machine.
With stylish interiors predominantly grey in colour, it has a front rev counter that accommodates all the necessities. The instruments on the Honda HR-V can be operated easily enough and its amenities like power steering, electric windows, anti-lock brakes, remote control central locking system, air conditioning, folding rear seats, etc are added attractions.
Driving a Honda HR-V can be pure pleasure as vouched by its enthusiastic drivers, and this chunky vehicle with its 1.6 litre VTEC engine with 105 bhp boasts of a unique system where each axle drives its own hydraulic pump and controls the pressure by opening the valve which results in the multi-plate clutch regulating the speed effectively.
