Space and Practicality:

  • HR-V: Despite its compact size, the HR-V packs a punch in terms of practicality.Its signature "Magic Seats" offer versatile configurations, easily folding flat for ample cargo space or accommodating tall items. Headroom and legroom are decent for passengers, making it a good choice for small families or urban dwellers.
  • e:Ny1: While sharing a similar footprint with the HR-V, the e:Ny1 prioritises a sleek design over sheer interior volume. Cargo space is slightly less. However, the lack of a bulky engine frees up underfloor storage, and the flat cabin floor adds to the airy feel. The e:Ny1 also includes a panoramic sky roof providing more natural light and open feel
