The Honda FR-V, marketed as the Honda Edix in Japan, is a six-passenger car that was manufactured by Honda from 2004 to 2009 (with marketing ending in 2011 in some regions{{Cite web|title=Honda Edix Review - Price, Specs And Fuel Consumption In MPG |url=https://www.sbtjapan.com/kp-honda-edix-review|access-date=2021-01-19|website= SBT Japan }}), over a single generation. A five-door compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), the FR-V was noted for its 3+3 seating configuration, along with the Fiat Multipla.

The FR-V allows folding down the front middle seat to create a tray or arm rest. The compact MPV offers 32 different seating combinations in addition to three ISOFIX points.

The front suspension is a MacPherson strut, with the rear being double wishbone suspension.
