The cabin has a high-quality sophisticated feel, thanks to piano black trim and a sporty centre console.
Interior space is massive for a supermini-crossover with the HR-V's interior space more comparable to the larger Qashqai than the Juke.

The HR-V also features Honda's 'magic seats', which means the rear seats fold flat into the floor of the car, but also flip up cinema-style for taller objects.
Despite the chunky SUV looks, the HR-V is only available with front-wheel drive.

Only two engines are offered in the HR-V: a 1.5-litre VTEC petrol and 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel.
The HR-V has a high-riding sporty look, which is similiar to the Mazda CX-3.
