# Honda FR-V

The Honda FR-V, marketed as the Honda Edix in Japan, is a six-passenger car that was manufactured by Honda from 2004 to 2009 (with marketing ending in 2011 in some regions), over a single generation. A five-door compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), the FR-V was noted for its 3+3 seating configuration, along with the Fiat Multipla.
It has been claimed that FR-V stands for Flexible Recreation Vehicle, although Honda did not officially state this.
The FR-V was officially launched in Europe in Autumn 2004. It shares a similar platform to the Honda CR-V (which in turn shares a similar platform to the Honda Civic), but with a longer wheelbase. The FR-V allows folding down the front middle seat to create a tray or arm rest. The compact MPV offers 32 different seating combinations in addition to three ISOFIX points.
The front suspension is a MacPherson strut, with the rear being double wishbone suspension.
In 2007, the FR-V received its first and only facelift, where Honda changed the front bumper, headlights, tail lights and door handles. On the inside, the wood-trim was removed, leaving only the carbon-fibre look trim. An aux-in port was added for the infotainment system. At a similar time, the 2.2 i-CTDi Diesel engine was added.
In August 2009, the FR-V ended production without a direct successor.

The 1.7 VTEC and 2.0 i-VTEC were replaced in the spring of 2007 by a new 1.8 i-VTEC from the eighth generation Honda Civic. The Japanese-market version (known as the Honda Edix) kept the 2.0 i-VTEC engine, and a 2.4 i-VTEC engine was added. At the same time, some minor cosmetic changes were made (carbon effect interior, light cluster, and darker front grill). All-wheel drive was also offered for vehicles sold in Japan.
