The Honda HR-V first arrived in 1999, combining the ride height and visibility of an SUV with the maneuverability of a hatchback. However, production ended abruptly in 2005 until it was relaunched in 2015. Since then, there have been two generations and several updates, ensuring that the SUV continues to be modern, comfortable and stylish.

Second Generation (2015 to 2021)
After a short absence, the HR-V was relaunched with a new design that made it look more like an SUV. Honda chose to use the Honda Jazz platform to build this HR-V. The curved body and narrow front end made it a popular choice in the market.
