The Honda HR-V remains to be one of the most charismatic models in the Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) lineup. Its eye-catching looks, superb performance and the excellent Honda SENSING active-safety suite all make for a great subcompact crossover, even though the Turbo model is rather pricey. But the HR-V has been plagued with supply issues since September 2022, with HCPI saying at the time that deliveries were “uncertain” because of a global parts shortage following the COVID-19 pandemic.
