HR-V has stirred up interest since launch by upsetting religious groups in its initial advertising campaign and attracting plenty of buyers keen to get their hands on something decidedly different. This light 4WD could draw sales away from CR-V but Honda's marketing gurus expect it to appeal to singles and young families. In terms of safety, Honda provides dual airbags and front seat belt pre-tensioners with load limiters. Spend an extra four grand on the sport and Honda will up the ante with anti-lock brakes, sunroof, remote locking, rear headrests, alloy wheels, bigger tyres and roof rails. The cars have room for only four people, with no third seatbelt in the rear, while height-adjustable seat belts are not standard.
