Honda discontinues FR-V

Honda has announced that it is ending production of its FR-V midi-MPV after a run of five years.

The car, also known as the Edix in its home market, will be discontinued this summer, with the last car expected to roll off Honda's Suzuka plant in August. The car will remain on sale however, to clear the remaining stock.

Honda has not announced a replacement for the FR-V, which featured a unique 3+3 seating arrangement like the Fiat Multipla, pointing to the trend for downsizing and the declining MPV market. It claims that the Insight and Jazz will be able to cover the market.
