FR-V

Honda FR-V now available to test drive at Trident Honda.

Honda's FR-V - which features six seats arranged in two rows of three - has a new engine line-up and a series of exterior and interior changes.

The FR-V is now available with a highly-efficient 140PS 1.8-litre i-VTEC unit - the engine launched in the 5-door Civic in 2006. The 1.8 offers great performance with fantastic economy - the best of both worlds. It does this through the latest VTEC technology that reduces pumping losses by delaying intake valve closure and holding the throttle valve wide open during low-load driving conditions. This boosts economy to that of a smaller engine, but it's still as poky as a 2.0-litre powered car. The 1.8 i-VTEC replaces both the 1.7 and 2.0-litre petrol engines that were previously available.

New models can also be distinguished outside by a new dark chrome finish to the grille, while the headlights, door handles, rear combination light and lower licence plate trim have also been tweaked.

Inside, the wood has gone - the fascia panel now sports a much-improved metal, carbon-like finish. The seats and doors, meanwhile, have a new greyish-blue soft touch fabric (grey leather seats together with beige soft touch fabric continue on EX grade models). An additional boot light provides added convenience.

Otherwise, the FR-V continues to offer an outstandingly flexible, practical and intelligent interior in a stylish body. With all six seats in two rows, it's easy for everyone in the car to talk to each other , making it a more friendly way to travel.
