The all-new 2021 Honda HR-V, which made its global debut in Japan last month as the Honda Vezel, has been a bit too successful. Prices have yet to be announced as the HR-V (Vezel) will only go on sale in Japan in April 2021. As a result, sales of other similarly priced Honda models took a hit last month, with Honda falling out of the Top-10 most popular models list.

In the recent years, we have welcomed some new three-cylinder engine cars to the world – the Nissan Almera 1.0 turbo, Honda City 1.0 turbo (Thailand), Proton X50, and more excitingly, the Toyota GR Yaris. Even Christian von Koenigsegg has channelled his genius into developing a 600 HP three-cylinder engine. With these developments however, some of us still remain very sceptical of them.
