In this long-term expert review, CarsGuide Journalist Chris Thompson spends three months with the new-generation HR-V's e:HEV L flagship to get a better sense of what it's really like to own, exploring the good, the bad and the so-called ugly.

And with a 'self-charging' hybrid powertrain at its disposal, how efficient is the HR-V e:HEV L in the real world? We'll answer that question and many others, including on practicality, safety and driving performance. Spoiler alert: there are a few surprises!
