Since its launch in 2015, Honda’s compact SUV has maintained an average trajectory in the market and has even led the segment. In 2024 it was the seventh best seller. Last year, it rose to third position with a difference of only 373 units to the Tracker.

The style has changed very little in the 2026 model year. In the top Touring version, the front grille has grown a little, but painted black you can hardly notice the honeycomb style. The sequential arrows above the headlights, the new 18-inch wheels, and the new 18-inch wheels are noteworthy. and the two exhaust outlets.

Dimensions (mm): length, 4.385; wheelbase, 2,610; width, 1,790; height, 1,590. Volumes (L): trunk, 354; tank, 50. Mass: 1,408 kg. 4-cylinder turbo 1.5 L flex engine delivers the same numbers with gasoline or ethanol and this is out of the norms: 177 hp; 24.5 kgf·m. Consumption (km/L/Inmetro): city, 11.5 (G); 8.1 (E); road, 12.9 (G); 9.1 (E). It has good range even with the not-so-generous tank volume (km): city, 455 (G) and 405 (E); road, 645 (G) and 575 (E). CVT automatic transmission, seven gears.

Inside, the flat rear floor and its traditional folding seat (Magic Seat) stand out to carry high volumes that would not fit in the trunk, whose lid closes automatically (just move away in possession of the key). 7-inch multimedia screen. small by today’s standards. There is wireless mirroring for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while cell phone recharging can be by induction and front and rear USB-C ports.

The SUV has very good dynamic behavior and immediate responses to the accelerator, especially in Sport mode, which is added to the Normal and Eco options (the latter without making you too slow). It goes well in corners despite the limitations of ground clearance and high center of gravity. Off the asphalt there are limits due to traction only 4×2 like the vast majority of this type of vehicle.

In urban use, the auto-hold system works with slight additional pressure on the brake pedal and released at the touch of the accelerator. Another interesting function is the camera in the right rearview mirror activated by a button at the end of the arrow control. It requires a short period of adaptation, but it is a very useful resource.

Price: R$ 214.000.
