The HR-V could very well have been the most important model for Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) when it was launched last year since we’re a country that’s so receptive to crossovers. Now, we’ll fully test what it can do.
Technically speaking, this new HR-V is actually the second generation of the name; the first one was launched in 1998 as a smaller, more affordable alternative to the CR-V. Back then, the HR-V wasn’t very well received, but perhaps now the time is right after most of the traditional compact crossovers have grown, paving the way for even smaller crossovers.
