2022 Honda HR-V Summary

Honda Australia has gone through a bit of a transformation in recent years, shedding its top-10 sales ambitions for a new approach that focuses on slimming down the range with high-spec grades.

The first new-gen model to launch with that approach was last year’s Civic, but it’s the latest launch, the HR-V, which might make or break Honda’s new strategy.

And that’s because the HR-V is a small SUV – playing a space dominated by Toyota, Mazda and Kia – that also offers up a so-hot-right-now hybrid powertrain for the first time in Australia.

No doubt, the HR-V will prove more popular than the Civic in sales as the market shifts preferences, but is it any good?

This is all you need to know about the 2022 Honda HR-V.

2022 Nissan Qashqai Summary

Nissan’s most important model of 2022 isn’t the new Z sports car or even the Navara ute, we’d argue it’s the Qashqai small SUV.

Competing against the likes of the Mazda CX-30, Kia Seltos and Hyundai Kona in one of the hottest segments in Australia, the Qashqai has the potential to sell in big numbers.

Just think about it, when was the last time you went to the shops and didn’t see a small SUV?

The Qashqai also represents the vanguard for a new Nissan, as the first of four all-new models due in Australian showrooms over the next 12-18 months, and will be followed by the aforementioned Z, as well as the X-Trail, Pathfinder and probably the Ariya EV.

So, instead of waiting for this car to come to us, we thought we’d take a trip across the world to see if it lives up to the hype.
