Ever since its U.S. debut in 2016, the Honda HR-V continues to display style and sophistication. From top to bottom, front to back, outside to inside, the HR-V makes a statement. Let’s see what it has to say.
At first blush, you’re struck by the HR-V’s smooth roofline with gracefully sloping lines that seamlessly blend into its side panels. Adding to its stylishly modern presence is the honeycomb grille flanked by slender, angled LED headlights. At the rear is a slim spoiler, while available rear privacy glass adds an air of mystery.
Helping this sport utility vehicle live up to its designation, the Sport trim adds exclusive badging and a variety of Gloss Black elements, including 18-inch wheels, grille, and bumper. You can further outfit it with a variety of Honda Genuine Accessories:
Your HR-V is ready for any seasonal activity you and your squad have in mind. In other words, if you can plan it, the Honda HR-V can help make it happen.
The HR-V is designed with a driver-centric cabin and ergonomic controls to keep all the most needed features at your fingertips. Its standard and available attributes include many comforts that will turn the HR-V into your home away from home:
When you drive an SUV like the HR-V, you might become the preferred driver for your set. Whether you’re packing for a weekend getaway, picking up groceries, or transporting a garage sale find, or your best buds bring along some extra gear, the Honda HR-V can accommodate.
| Headroom (Front/Rear) | 39.4/38 inches |
| Legroom (Front/Rear) | 41.9/37.7 inches |
| Cargo Room (Behind 2nd/1st Row) | 24.4/55.1 cubic feet |
Even when all seats are upright and filled, there will still be 24.4 cubic feet of space for cargo. Because it’s a Honda, everyone on board will have enough wiggle room to be comfortable.
You don’t drive a Honda to set any world land speed records—your objective is far more important. You want to know if the vehicle you've chosen can get you and your posse from Point A to Point B efficiently and safely. The HR-V is poised to deliver in both regards.
The HR-V’s 2.0L engine yields 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque and is the perfect blend of strength and efficiency. Its Dual Variable Timing Control enables the engine to generate more power, helps reduce emissions, and results in better fuel economy (more about that later).
This powertrain pairs with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Compared to many automatic transmissions, a CVT has a wider gear ratio, which improves acceleration at low speeds and reduces how hard the engine must work at higher speeds. In short, it picks the best possible power range without using more fuel than necessary. Now, about that. . .
The Honda HR-V’s EPA-estimated efficiency is based on which drivetrain you choose: standard front-wheel drive (FWD) or optional all-wheel drive (AWD).
Drivetrain | EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy |
|---|---|
| Front-Wheel Drive | 26 city/32 hwy MPG* |
| All-Wheel Drive | 25 city/30 hwy MPG* |
In this highly efficient model, the difference in impact on fuel consumption is minimal. So, even with AWD, you’ll travel many miles before making a pit stop.
The HR-V sips fuel, making the most of every drop in its tank, thanks to some of its built-in features:
The result is more time spent on the road and less time at the pump.
When you head out and hit the road, you want to know you can remain connected and engaged while behind the wheel. Plus, it helps to have the reassurance that you and your crew will be well-protected for every mile.
The Honda HR-V provides all the tech essentials you’ll need for any trip. Its standard infotainment features are sure to check off all your boxes:
With its wireless smartphone access and a wireless phone charger, you can stay connected and keep your devices fully powered without a cord. Thanks to standard Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation, you’ll hear every word of your phone call, every note of your playlist, or every syllable of your favorite podcast clearly, regardless of outside traffic noise.
Of course, your top priority is making sure that you and everyone on board remain safe. Honda Sensing® is a standard suite of driver-assistive features that serves as an extra set of eyes—even in those hard-to-see areas. Among the many systems included with Honda Sensing® are:
Although it's not specifically named in the features list, "Peace of Mind" is built into the Honda HR-V.
