A stance with
strength
The Honda HR-V has dynamic styling,
sophisticated looks and attitude, which,
combined with its defined, sleek upper body,
makes this an advanced and attractive SUV.
However, the strong, sculptural lines evoke a
sense of sports car as well as SUV, making it the
perfect partner to any kind of driver.
But the SUV side of it that makes it what it is:
your essential adventure partner. To ensure you
can take full advantage of a wide visibility range,
the seats are positioned high in the vehicle.
Ultimate traveller essentials like the front fog
lights, 17 alloy wheels, shark fin antenna and
tailgate spoiler command the attention the HR-V
deserves.
LED indicators are placed in the door mirrors,
while highly attractive LED Daytime Running
Lights (DRLs), LED auto-adjust headlights, and
LED tail lights look sophisticated and emit a glow
reminiscent of some future time. Every inch of the
HR-V permeates the sense of adventure. From
the rear door handles that are concealed just
behind the window, to the stylish black grille and
trim to the roof rails, its clear that the HR-V is
exactly the kind of accomplice you want on your
journey through life.

Magic Seats in
action

The inside of the HR-V has a place for everything

and puts everything in its place. Its cleverly
placed compartments and streamlined design
maximises storage space to make sure you have
all the space you need for the more important
things the people you take with you.

TALL MODE

Your comfort was a high priority in the design

of the HR-V. The soft-touch centre console and
dashboard, sophisticated stitch detail, and
piano black and chrome accents will make you
feel like youre in your one true home, no matter
where you are or where youre going.
The HR-V comes ready for an adventure thanks
to Hondas Magic Seats, which fold in a multitude
of configurations, also the astonishingly low,
extra-wide tailgate makes taking everything and
the kitchen sink with you, easier than ever.

We all have those days when we need a little

height to get that last thing in. Whether its a trip
to the nursery or a full on hardware shopping
spree you can take full advantage of the
distance between floor and ceiling by flipping
up the rear seats.
LONG MODE

The things you need on an expedition wont

always be the right shape, but if you flip down
all the seats on one side and youll be able to
create a long space perfect for awkward items
like surfboards or long planks.
UTILITY MODE

If theres one thing you always need on an

adventure, its space. Just use the lie-flat rear
seats in the HR-V and you can take absolutely
everything you need with you. A stack of
camping equipment is no problem for this SUV.
REFRESH MODE

Enjoy the view by removing the head restraints

and folding back the seats.

USB/HDMI PORTS

AUTO BRAKE HOLD

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

When the driver brakes and stops

the vehicle in traffic, remaining
stationary for some time, the
Auto Brake Hold is activated to
hold the vehicle position. It is
then automatically released upon
acceleration.

The manual hand break has been

replaced with an easily activated parking
brake switch, which is automatically
released upon acceleration

Safety 9-10

EMERGENCY STOP
SIGNAL (ESS)
Occasionally a situation requires
sudden, heavy braking. The HR-V
automatically flashes its hazard
lights to alert those behind you
when you stop suddenly.

Were obsessed
with safety

ADVANCED COMPATIBILITY
ENGINEERING (ACE)

REAR VIEW CAMERA

A brilliantly innovative body structure

means that the impact from frontal
collisions directed away from the
passenger compartment.

Parking is easy when you can see

everything behind you, all thanks
to the wide rear view camera in
the HR-V.

Honda knows that safety is more important than

any other feature in a car, and thats why the
HR-V is packed full of sophisticated engineering
designed to give you the peace of mind you need.

PARKING SENSORS
Parking
sensors
produce
an audible alert to let you
know how much space exists
between you and the nearest
object.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
The HR-V comes standard with ABS for superior
stopping power. When emergency braking is detected
Brake Assist applies maximum braking pressure whilst
EBD monitors and adjusts the brake force
on each wheel.

VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA)

HILL START ASSIST (HSA)

In adverse driving conditions, the HR-V is

able to detect over-steer or under-steer,
and automatically adjust its path for
stability and safety. It can also manage
brake pressure and engine power to help
you regain control.

HSA prevents rolling back when

starting on an incline. The system
controls brake pressure, keeping
the car stationary as you release
the brake pedal and prepare to
accelerate.

AIRBAGS
The clever Honda i-SRS driver airbag
system inflates at different rates depending
on the severity of the impact, seatbelt
usage, and a whole host of other factors to
keep you and your passengers safe. Front,
side and full-length curtain airbags come
standard.
