Isn't it to compete with chr? I think there's Turbo or diesel rvr in Asia, Australia. Had a chr for courtesy once and it was so small, the stupid door designs and the high lift to get things into the trunk. It basically feels like a lifted Corolla x6 coupe style.
Not sure about the base 160hp k20, but 200 hp k24 was decent in the rb1 odyssey for a 7 passenger wagon.

A good CVT makes a huge diff.
HRV is fine & you can get the 1.5T in the Acura ADX if you want

Personally, I am not a big fan of the Honda L15 engine though. In stock tunes, it is smooth and refined, but somehow I still like the character of the K20 better.
And then there seems to be more reliability issues with the engine, whereas the K20 is fairly bulletproof.

Now it's almost as big as a gen 2 CR-V.
It was an Asia-market model before coming here iirc. | I think 3rd gen crv is closer. Length is 0.3cm difference.
Isn't hrv just a raised Fit using same chassis and L15 engine? Or is newest hrv different?

But the current (3rd gen) HRV is based on the 11th gen Civic.

This 2nd gen HRV is based on the larger Civic and while being more refined, it's still a 2.0 with CVT. Good enough to do what you need it to. Nothing more and nothing less. It works but the foldable rear bench is gone now. It's great in the city! Quote:
