The Honda FR-V, marketed as the Honda Edix in Japan, is a six-passenger car that was manufactured by Honda from 2004 to 2009 (with marketing ending in 2011 in some regions[1]), over a single generation. A five-door compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), the FR-V was noted for its 3+3 seating configuration, along with the Fiat Multipla.
It has been claimed that FR-V stands for Flexible Recreation Vehicle,[2][3] although Honda did not officially state this.
The FR-V was officially launched in Europe in Autumn 2004.[4] 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.[5] 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.[1]
The front suspension is a MacPherson strut, with the rear being double wishbone suspension.[2]
In 2007, the FR-V received its first and only facelift, where Honda changed the front bumper, headlights, tail lights[6] and door handles. On the inside, the wood-trim was removed, leaving only the carbon-fibre look trim. An aux-in port was added for the infotainment system.[7] At a similar time, the 2.2 i-CTDi Diesel engine was added.[6]
In August 2009, the FR-V ended production without a direct successor.[8][9]

The FR-V was available with four petrol (both Japan and Europe used the K20, with slight differences) and one diesel powered engine, though this depended on the region.

The 1.7 VTEC and 2.0 i-VTEC were replaced in the spring of 2007 by a new 1.8 i-VTEC from the eighth generation Honda Civic. The Japanese-market version (known as the Honda Edix) kept the 2.0 i-VTEC engine, and a 2.4 i-VTEC engine was added. At the same time, some minor cosmetic changes were made (carbon effect interior, light cluster, and darker front grill). All-wheel drive was also offered for vehicles sold in Japan.
