Description
Includes £500 off. Here?s what you get when you want more than just an everyday compact SUV without paying full ?hot-hatch? prices. This 2019 HR-V 1.5 VTEC Turbo Sport with just 17,600 miles is that sweet-spot car, looks good, drives sharper, yet stays practical.
From the moment you slide in, the Sport trim stakes its claim. Matte black 18-inch wheels, black mirror caps, sporty exhaust styling, performance dampers and a body look that?s more aggressive than your standard HR-V. It doesn?t scream, it smirks. And when you press the throttle, you feel the 182 PS turbo engine reward you. There?s torque down low, the pull is satisfying, especially in manual form. Even the CVT version keeps the character, albeit smoothed out.
It?s quick ?0-62 mph in approximately 7.8 seconds (manual) meaning you get genuine performance for this class. Top speed is more than adequate for motorway runs. Fuel economy and emissions aren?t bad either: expect in the high 40s mpg for manual use, a bit less for the auto, CO₂,, in the mid-130s (giving reasonable running costs for something this sporty).
Inside, the Sport spec treats you: heated seats up front, sporty interior touches (pedals, trim, materials), good tech, comfort features that elevate it. Space is sensible enough room in the back, a boot that doesn?t force compromise, and everything feels well built.
What you really get here is a crossover that looks good in the driveway, fun to drive when you want it, and modest enough daily. With 17,600 miles, this one?s barely broken in. Maintenance should be relatively straightforward. If it?s been looked after, this HR-V has a lot of appeal: style, agility, and more excitement than many SUVs in this segment.
