Video: 2021 Honda HR-V RS v Nissan Qashqai Midnight Edition comparison review

“Both the current generation Honda HR-V and Nissan Qashqai have been on sale for about eight years, and both have recently had their global replacements revealed. That means buyers of the familiar and proven compact SUVs can hold a strong negotiation position as dealers seek to clear any stock before the new car arrives.

In terms of sales, these two have been closely aligned for their entire market lives, so much so that for their first six full-years of sales, less than 2000 cars separate the pair (67,205 HR-V against 68,970 Qashqai).“

So, on the eve of their replacement, which one is a better option for you?
