FactThis HR-V started life as a concept literally called Urban SUV, and Honda sold it as the Vezel everywhere that mattered at home.
The second-generation HR-V was previewed by the Urban SUV Concept in 2013 and unveiled in November 2013 at the Tokyo Motor Show as the Vezel, the name it kept in Japan and China; Dongfeng Honda also sold it as the XR-V. Built on the Fit platform, it was Honda's smallest SUV, below the CR-V, with a coupé-like sloping roof, hidden rear door handles and the Fit's Magic Seats. Engines included 1.5 and 1.8-litre petrol fours, a 1.5 turbo, a 1.6 i-DTEC diesel and a 1.5-litre i-DCD hybrid with a seven-speed dual-clutch. In North America it was sold for the 2016 to 2022 model years.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
For this generation, Honda split the HR-V nameplate in two: the rest of the world got the Vezel-based original, while North America and China got a completely different, larger HR-V built on the Civic platform.
This HR-V started life as a concept literally called Urban SUV, and Honda sold it as the Vezel everywhere that mattered at home.
The original HR-V's four-wheel-drive system came straight off the CR-V, Honda's Real Time 4WD, shared between an SUV and this odd little three-door coupe-crossover.
