Honda FR-V
The FR-V has six seats, arranged in two rows of three.The three-plus-three arrangement results in a large boot - not always the case with compact MPVs. And when more space is needed the three rear seats individually fold flat into the floor. The seats can be folded one-handed, simply by reaching in from the boot and unfastening a single latch.
To add to the numerous seating/boot space combinations, the central front seat's back can be folded down onto its cushion to make room for extra-long items, or to form a table. The seat cushion also has a fold-out extension complete with storage drawer underneath it, expanding its usefulness.
All six seats have three-point seat belt fixings, while the centre front seat and the two outer rear seats have ISOFIX child seat mounts. Additionally, the front seats have pre-tensioners and load limiters. As an extra aid to child safety, the central front seat moves 270mm further back than the outer pair. Full-length curtain airbags provide overall cabin protection while in the front of the FR-V there are twin dual-stage airbags in the facia and side airbags in the two outside front seats.
According to Honda, the wide track of the FR-V '...promotes stability, agility and good steering response'.
At launch there will be a choice of two petrol engines, 125 PS and 150 PS. Diesel fans will have to wait until 2005 when Honda's much-admired 2.2 litre i-CTDi diesel engine joins the line-up, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
With sales planned to start this November, the FR-V is said by the company to '...take the concept of the compact MPV onto another level of sophistication and desirability'.
