Description: The Honda HR-V 2021 model range is identical to the version that came before it. But there's a vital new inclusion in the cabin that brings the most practical small SUV on sale up to date - Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Is that enough to keep it fresh, though? Matt Campbell investigates.

You won’t be able to pick the 2021 Honda HR-V from a 2020 or 2019 model from the outside. Nope, it still looks identical to the facelifted model launched late in 2018.

But there has been an important change to Honda’s small SUV. It’s on the inside. And it involves the touch screen. We’ll get to it soon, but first we need to consider the market in which the HR-V competes.

It’s up against rivals like the VW T-Cross - you can see how it fared in our comparison here - and it also competes with the all-new Nissan Juke, still-very-new Kia Seltos and the just-updated Skoda Karoq. All of those cars are either new-generation models, or within a few years of their local launches.

The Honda HR-V? Well, it first debuted here way back in 2014. So it’s old. Like, really old for a small SUV. The only cars older than it in its segment are the Nissan Qashqai and Mitsubishi ASX.
