What the Critics Say

Honda did a great job of putting the money where it counts with the HR-V interior. All the touch points are soft or cushioned, and the controls feel like they have a nice quality to them. Aesthetically this is also a big step up from the previous car and a strong showing relative to the rest of the class.” – Edmunds
As expected from a vehicle this size, the HR-V is easy to pilot in tight quarters, and it has deft maneuverability. It’s surprisingly sporty through turns, with well-controlled body movements and strong braking performance. A pampering ride rounds out this crossover’s solid driving dynamics.” – U.S. News & World Report

What’s New for 2026

For 2026, the popular Honda HR-V benefits from a wide range of key changes and updates. All trim levels receive updated alloy wheel options along with standard rear privacy glass added to LX trims. Boost Blue Pearl is a new exterior color choice this year while Solar Silver Metallic has been dropped in favor of a new Solar Reflection Metallic color. Gloss-black emblems have been added to the tailgate on HR-V Sport grades for a more aggressive look. Step inside the cabin to find new standard features including a larger 9-inch touchscreen display, wireless smartphone charging, and wireless smartphone integration. Last but not least, every EX-L trim gains new features including silver-painted steering wheel spokes, dynamic climate control illumination, and ambient lighting for the front footwells.

Honda HR-V Performance

Performance & Capability

Whether your weekend is filled with work or play, the Honda HR-V has the capability, performance, and efficiency to help you get everything done. Power comes in the form of a standard 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine that cranks out a total of 158 horsepower and the ultimate combination of response and efficiency. All HR-V models also come paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) featuring enhanced shift mapping for smooth acceleration at all speeds. Great for those who love to get out and chase adventure, the optional Real-Time All-Wheel Drive system lets you excel in harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow. Its compact footprint makes it effortless to squeeze the HR-V in or out of a tight parking space.

Honda HR-V Interior

Tech-Focused Interior

Two aspects of the Honda HR-V that separate it from the competition are its unmatched versatility and expansive cargo capacity. Thanks to a standard 60/40 split-folding rear seat, it’s easy to adapt the interior of your HR-V to carry a mix of both passengers and cargo. A total of 98.7 cubic feet of passenger space means that all occupants will have plenty of room to stretch out on longer journeys. Additional sound-deadening measures including Active Noise Cancellation and sound-deadening materials help increase refinement even further.

Looking for the latest in technology features? The Honda HR-V offers access to your favorite multimedia features using the 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration. For even greater confidence behind the wheel, the HR-V can also be equipped with a wide range of active driver-assist features.

Honda HR-V Safety

Advanced Safety

Found on all Honda HR-V trim levels, the groundbreaking Honda Sensing® suite of active safety and driver-assistive features helps you stay one step ahead of danger. Cutting-edge features included in this collection are the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) incorporating Lane Departure Warning (LDW).
