The Honda HR-V has the cleverest interior of any compact SUV we rent. It inherits the Jazz's under-floor fuel tank and Magic Seat system, which means a small SUV with a flat load bay and rear seats that flip up vertically - a combination nothing else in the class offers. Raised ride height gives it the clearance for hill roads while keeping a compact footprint.

Any minor damage is deducted from the deposit and the balance returned. We photograph every panel, the interior, the fuel or charge level and the odometer at handover, and you get those timestamped photos with your digital contract - so there is a record to compare against rather than an argument.
Families of four who need flexible cargo space, anyone staying up a hill with bulky kit to carry, and couples who want SUV clearance without SUV bulk. It is the most practical car per square metre in our fleet.
The flip-up rear seats turn the HR-V into the most useful vehicle here for the things people actually end up carrying on Samui - a bicycle, a stack of market purchases, dive gear, a folded pram - while still having the clearance for a hill villa driveway and a parking footprint that works in Fisherman's Village. It has been a mainstay of our fleet for exactly that reason.
The rear seat bases flip up vertically as well as folding flat, because the fuel tank sits under the front seats rather than the rear. That lets you stand tall items upright behind the front seats - a bicycle, a large plant, a stack of boxes. No rival compact SUV can do it.
Yes for the great majority of sealed and semi-sealed hill access roads. For genuinely rough unsealed tracks, a Fortuner or a pickup is the safer choice.
The Corolla Cross is cheaper to rent and more economical thanks to its hybrid system. The HR-V has the far more flexible interior. If you are carrying awkward loads, take the HR-V; otherwise the Corolla Cross is better value.
