MY21 VTi-LX Hatchback 5dr CVT 1sp 1.8i Honda's HR-V is performing strongly in the steadily-growing small SUV segment currently ruled by Mitsubishi's ASX and is currently the company's second best seller behind the CR-V mid-sizer. The HR-V range comprises VTi, VTi-S, sporty RS (with 18-inch alloys) and top-shelf VTi-LX versions, all front-drive, all CVT and all using Honda's 105kW/172Nm 1.8-litre aspirated powerplant. The Jazz-based mini SUV is pretty accommodating for both passengers and luggage, offers a good level of equipment with standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and, from VTi-S level, autonomous emergency braking. Climate control, cruise control, sat-nav, 16-inch alloy wheels and rear-view camera are universal, while VTi-LX adds LED headlights and a power driver's seat.
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate.This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Anti-whiplash head restraints actively react to rear collision forces and craddle the occupants head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
