The Honda FR-V, marketed as the Honda Edix in Japan, is a six-passenger compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that was manufactured by Honda from 2004-2009 (with marketing ending in 2011 in some regions[2]), over a single generation. The FR-V is noted for its 3+3 seating configuration, along with the Fiat Multipla.

It has been claimed that FR-V stands for Flexible Recreation Vehicle [3][4], although Honda did not officially state this.

The FR-V was officially launched in Europe in Autumn 2004 [5]. It shares a similar platform to the Honda CR-V (which in turn shares a similar platform to the Honda Civic), but with a longer wheelbase.[6] The FR-V allows folding down the front middle seat to create a tray or arm rest. The compact MPV offers 32 different seating combinations in addition to three ISOFIX points [2].

The front suspension is a MacPherson strut, with the rear being Double wishbone suspension [3].

In 2007, the FR-V received its first and only facelift, where Honda changed the front bumper, headlights, taillights and door handles. On the inside, the carbon-fibre look trim was removed, leaving only wood-trims (available pre-facelift). An aux-in port was added for the infotainment system [7].

In August 2009, the FR-V ended production without a direct successor.[8][9]



Engines

The FR-V was available with four petrol and one diesel powered engine, though this depended on the region.
