What is the Honda FR-V?
The Honda FR-V is a compact people carrier with an unusual layout: two rows of three seats, giving six people room to travel together. Its middle front seat could fold into an armrest or tray, making the cabin more flexible.
It was Honda’s compact MPV for European drivers. The first generation ran from 2004 to 2011, with petrol and diesel engines.
