The VTi-L + ADAS is the king of the HR-V range because not only is it the top-spec grade but it comes with the optional ($1000) safety package all for a list price of $34,340.

The standard features list is extensive. Some of it is just cosmetic, like chrome door handles, but most of it is substantial stuff such as leather upholstery, power adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, panoramic sunroof, and front and rear parking sensors.

Then there’s the features you’ll get on the grade below this too such as the 7.0-inch screen, sat nav, reversing camera, six-speaker stereo and climate control, but you get 17-inch alloys, proximity key, LED headlights and DRLs, leather steering wheel and advanced safety equipment.

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assist System which is really just a pack of extra safety equipment such as Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and adaptive high beams. These come on top of the AEB which is standard on the VTi-S.

The HR-V scored the maximum five-star ANCAP rating.

There’s one engine for the entire line-up – it’s a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol which makes 105kW and 172Nm. If you’re looking for a HR-V with a manual gearbox you’ll need to buy one from the year 2000 because these days the small SUV only comes with a CVT auto transmission.

All HR-Vs are front-wheel drive.

Senior Journalist
Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
