Honda FR-V

[divinewisdom]

Honda's new FR-V, a compact MPV with 3+3 seating, will start at £14,750 when it goes on sale in November. Promising 'fantastic quality' and 'a high equipment tally,' it will initially feature 1.7 and 2.0-litre petrol engines, though the excellent 2.2-litre turbo-diesel from the Accord will join the list later.

Combined with the two petrol engines are two spec levels, making a total of three models available from launch. These are:


1.7 SE - £14,750, insurance group 9
2.0 SE - £15,700, insurance group 11
2.0 Sport - £16,400, insurance group 12
Honda promises high standards of ride and handling from the FR-V, which is based on a version of the CR-V platform. Its party piece is its three-abreast seating, with sliding and folding centre seats front and rear, but it has plenty of other equipment besides:


Climate control
Front, side and curtain airbags
Three ISOFIX mountings
Trip computer
CAT 1 alarm
Sport models add:


Alloy wheels
Cruise control
Front fog lamps

this could be the next Mini Acura MDX..look at the spy shots of the Acura, and compare it to this one..They might bring it to the states and Badge it whatever that name was called. The Rear has a resemblence of the MDX, and the window outline follows that of the MDX. This is the Next Mini SUV Acura. That's my take on it =P

Honda will unveil a completely new model in Paris, the FR-V. This is a compact minivan with a unique 3+3 seating arrangement. The FR-V for Flexible (or Fun, or Family) Recreation Vehicle will replace the Stream, although that model will be available until the end of 2005.

The FR-V is built on the stretched platform (105.5 inches) of the Civic, which is suitable for a flat floor and can accommodate two rows of three seats. In the FR-V the middle seats on both the first and the second row are positioned slightly rearward from the seats that flank them. They can be moved rearward respectively 10.6 and 6.7 inches. The luggage compartment of 5.5 cu ft can be extended to 37 cu ft, or with the second row completely flat to 56.5 cu ft.

This fall, the FR-V will arrive in Europe with a choice of the 125-hp 1.7-liter SOHC VTEC of the Civic and the 156-hp 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC of the Accord. A diesel engine will follow in the spring of 2005.
