      Man British people are so open minded when it comes to cars. As an American, our people are mostly closed minded 14 year old boys who hates on SUVs just because they don’t have the same interest as them. As an American, I am ashamed that British people are more civilized then American car people. There i say it, United Kingdom > United States.
      In my opinion, I don’t care about SUVs. I don’t complain about them, because people have choices or preferences, clearly lacking in American people unfortunately. In the US car People hype up sedans like they are as special as a Ferrari when in reality they are noting special compared to SUVs. A Toyota Camry is more comparable to a RAV4. So yeah congrats Brits for being more civilized and open minded then these stupid bloody rubbish Americans!

      The Tucson looks fine and the car is decent overall, but I also think all the other cars in this video are better. I also see the Tucson everywhere, but I think the reason for that was that the Tucson was one of the first "modernized" affordable small SUVs to launch. They had a big hype where I'm from. The Sportage and the HRV came out much later and the Nissan has Qashqai suffers from reliability issues, so that's what probably propelled them. In the last weeks I started seeing more and more HRV's and Sportages though. I think they'll overtake the Tucson.

In my book that's more than fair consumption. I was driving mostly in eco mode, so no sporty driving when not necessary really, and couldn't be more happier. On sport mode it does get a bit thirstier, since the response is quicker, it brings up the revs etc, but if you're using it as family car as most of the buyers should, then it's pretty economical SUV for the size and what it offers.

    Yes, the HONDA HR-V is brilliant! After 15,000 km I am very happy with ist. Well engineered, frugal, practical, innovative (magic seats!), comfortable, generous room for passengers and with a premium touch regarding the interior design (Advance Style). The CR-V Diesel I owned before has converted me to a HONDA fan after 18 cars of different other brands including Mercedes and BMW, having never been loyal to a brand before.
    The HR-V Hybrid does not have a CVT though. It does not have any transmission at all, it has one fixed gear and a dog clutch for engaging the combustion engine to the wheels. The transmission is simulated by modulation of electric current, that´s why the marketing guys have called it "e-CVT". The gears are also simulated by controlling the rpm of the ICE. Please don´t give false information to your viewers. There are people who hate CVT´s and will never test drive an HONDA Hybrid because of you.

    I have recently tried the kia sportage, Honda HRV, Nissan qashqai, and toyota corolla cross. For me the qashqai was the best by far. The new e-power technology is super smooth because there is no gearbox. The throttle response is always super smooth and linear even if the engine kicks in. As a Toyota hybrid owner, this isn't always the case. Anyway I think the worst 2 are the Toyota corolla cross (not reviewed here) and the Honda HRV because they are extremely noisy when accelerating and are super noise at pretty much any speed. Perhaps they will be the most reliable but in terms of having a nice driving experience try out the qashqai you may be surprised. Cheers. :)
