Join motoring journalist Prashirwin Naidu on Wheels ‘n Journeys, proudly brought to you by Vuma FM, as he gets behind the wheel of the Honda HR-V.
In this episode, Prashirwin takes a closer look at Honda’s coupe-inspired crossover, exploring its sleek styling, premium-feeling cabin, and impressive fuel efficiency. With its boutique crossover appeal, modern design, and reputation for reliability, the HR-V aims to offer a sensible alternative in an increasingly crowded SUV market.
Inside, Honda has focused on quality and functionality over giant screens and flashy gimmicks. From leather upholstery and wireless charging to a crisp digital display and practical cabin layout, the HR-V delivers a user-friendly ownership experience that’s easy to appreciate.
On the road, however, Prashirwin discovers a mixed bag. While the naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine impresses with its fuel economy, it lacks the punch some buyers may expect when overtaking or cruising at highway speeds. So, does the HR-V’s efficiency, comfort and reliability outweigh its performance shortcomings?
The episode wraps up with the Motoring Tip of the Week, where Prashirwin recommends defensive driving courses to help motorists build confidence and improve vehicle control, and the Hot Jam of the Week: 1000 Seconds by Blackwhole.
