Get to Know the Honda HR-V
DESIGN
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.
Exceptional Exterior
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:
- Frame mount bike attachment
- Snowboard/Ski attachment
- Surfboard/Paddleboard attachment
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.
Impressive Interior
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:
- Body-stabilizing seats: Lumbar and side support embrace you in a virtual hug while helping you feel secure.
- Heated front seats: Warm up on those cooler early mornings or late evenings, or simply relax tired muscles at the end of a long day.
- Dual-zone climate control: You and your copilot will both remain comfortable even when you can’t agree on the ideal temperature.
- One-touch power moonroof: Let in natural light or some fresh air, or just enjoy sky views at any time of day (or night).
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.
PERFORMANCE
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.
Efficient Engine
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. . .
Optimizing Fuel Economy
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:
- Aerodynamic design: That sleek design mentioned earlier is stylish and helps reduce drag and optimize airflow.
- Eco Assist™ System: This standard feature provides real-time feedback about driving efficiency to help maximize the HR-V’s fuel economy.
The result is more time spent on the road and less time at the pump.
TECHNOLOGY
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.
Indispensable Infotainment
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:
- 9-inch touchscreen
- Bluetooth® streaming audio
- Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ compatibility
- Wireless phone charger
- USB-C charging ports
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.
Standard Safety
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:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Keeping Assist System/Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Warning
- Traffic Sign Recognition System
- And more!
Although it's not specifically named in the features list, "Peace of Mind" is built into the Honda HR-V.
Honda HR-V vs. The Competition
Subcompact SUVs like the Honda HR-V and the Hyundai Kona are often referred to as “fun-sized.” While it’s true they’re enjoyable to drive, one model consistently brings more to the party. The HR-V proves that, although it knows how to have fun, it also means business.**
HR-V | vs | Kona |
|---|---|---|
| 158 HP | STANDARD HORSEPOWER | 147 HP |
| Standard | ECO ASSIST™ SYSTEM | Not Offered |
| Standard | TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION | Not Offered |
The Subaru Crosstrek tries to run with the big dogs across all different types of terrain. Still, drivers of subcompact SUVs like the Honda HR-V are more interested in the details that define a truly reliable ride rather than having a rough-and-tumble adventure mobile. After all, the proof is in the pudding, and the HR-V proves that little things mean a lot.**
HR-V | vs | Crosstrek |
|---|---|---|
| 158 HP | STANDARD HORSEPOWER | 152 HP |
| 37.7 inches | REAR LEGROOM | 36.5 inches |
| 24.4 cubic feet | TRUNK CAPACITY | 19.9 cubic feet |
The Honda HR-V and the Mazda CX-30 are used to drawing attention and turning heads while turning corners. When you look beyond their stunning designs, you’ll soon see that both models are more than just pretty faces. That said, it will quickly become apparent that the Honda stands out from the crowd and head(room) and shoulders above the Mazda.**
HR-V | vs | CX-30 |
|---|---|---|
| Continuously Variable Transmission | TRANSMISSION | 6-speed automatic transmission |
| 39.4 inches | FRONT HEADROOM | 38.1 inches |
| 37.7 inches | REAR LEGROOM | 36.3 inches |
