), but with a longer wheelbase. 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.
The front suspension is a MacPherson strut, with the rear being Double wishbone suspension.
In 2007, the FR-V received its first and only facelift, where Honda changed the front bumper, headlights, tail lights 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. At a similar time, the 2.2 i-CTDi Diesel engine was added.
In August 2009, the FR-V ended production without a direct successor.
