The Honda FR-V, marketed as the Honda Edix in Japan, is a six-passenger compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that was manufactured and marketed by Honda from 2004-2011, over a single generation. The FR-V is noted for its 3+3 seating configuration, like the Fiat Multipla.
The FR-V was officially launched on 15 January 2005. On 1 June 2005, Honda presented the diesel variant of the FR-V. The Honda FR-V allows folding down the front middle seat to create a tray or arm rest. The compact MPV offers 32 different seating combinations, three ISOFIX points.
In the autumn of 2011, the FR-V ended production without a direct successor.
