The Honda FR-V, also known as the Honda Edix in Japan, was a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by the Japanese manufacturer Honda from 2004 to 2009, and marketed until 2011. It has six seats and, alongside the Fiat Multipla, it once was one of only two compact minivans with a 3+3 seating configuration offered on the European market.

The Honda FR-V allows folding down the front middle seat to create a tray or arm rest. The compact MPV offers around 32 different seating combinations, three ISOFIX points and lots of cabin and load space.

Engines

The FR-V is available with three petrol and one Honda diesel-powered engine.

• 1.8 i-VTEC - 138 hp (103 kW; 140 PS) at 6,300 rpm and (174 N·m (128 ft·lbf)) at 4,300 rpm

The 1.7 i-VTEC and 2.0 i-VTEC were replaced in spring 2007 by a new 1.8 i-VTEC from the 8th génération Civic hatchback. At the same time some minor cosmetic changes were made (carbon effect interior, light cluster, and darker front grill).
