The interior layout, fit and finish
You sit high up in the Honda HR-V, so it feels like a proper SUV rather than a slightly jacked-up hatchback. The relationship between the steering wheel and the pedals is spot on, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding a comfortable driving position, although it's a pity you don't get adjustable lumbar support.
Visibility is very good, in part thanks to big door mirrors, and there are well-placed physical dials and buttons for operating the heating and ventilation (thankfully, the touch-sensitive controls from the second-generation HR-V have been binned).
