About the car: Honda HR-V II, 2015+

The second-generation HR-V, with the codes RU1-RU5, was built between December 2013 and 2022. It reached Europe in September 2015, with models brought from Mexico and Japan. The body is a 5-door SUV, and the model received a facelift presented in Japan on 25 January 2018.

The Tema set is for cars that have no factory roof rails on the roof, so it fits directly onto the roof, with the system made for the model. The top versions have a glass panoramic roof, so before ordering, confirm that the fitting set matches your car exactly.
