On Friday Mr & Mrs Aure collected their new 2019 Honda CR-V 7-seater, the first ever 7-seater CR-V to be sold by Trident Honda. It was particularly special, as the Aure family were replacing their Honda FR-V, bought from us ten years ago - and the last Honda sold in the UK with more than five seats.

The magnificent seven

The new CR-V keeps its effortless 'one-motion' folding rear seat and also offers the option of a third row, with two extra seats, on selected petrol grades. When not in use the seats fold neatly away.

Earlier this year, Honda took three of the top awards in this year's Honest John Awards, with the Jazz, Civic and HR-V winning the gongs for small hatchback, small family car and small crossover of the year respectively.

Speaking at the time, Dan Harrison, managing editor at honestjohn.co.uk, commented:

The Honda Jazz is a smash hit with the readers of HonestJohn.co.uk and a worthy winner of the Small Hatchback of the Year award. Easy to drive, comfortable and practical, the Jazz is everything a small car should be, and our readers agree when we say it's simply one of the best small hatchbacks you can buy.

Wider, longer, and lower than any of its predecessors, the all-new Civic saloon has a short front overhang and taut lines that reference the strong aerodynamic efficiency. A sharp and aggressive 'face', pronounced wheel-arches hint at the saloon's sporting character.

Similar to the hatchback, the new wider, longer platform results in class-leading interior space. The interior features a simple, uncluttered layout and exceptional refinement. The seating position is again lower to give the driver a greater feeling of connection with the car, and the new saloon combines unrivalled passenger and luggage space with versatile, practical usability.

There was much excitement yesterday, as our new Honda CR-Vs rolled off the transporters, just in time for today's launch event. Not only is this our first all-new CR-V in 3 years, but it also benefits from new engines, a Hybrid model, and a 7 seater version. If that wasn't enough, it also includes a wealth of technological improvements, including Honda SENSING, and even a Head-Up display.
