History / Overview
Since 2016, the HR-V has served Honda shoppers in the market for a subcompact crossover. Sharing its underpinnings with the Honda Fit hatchback, the HR-V boasts impressive space thanks to a clever, flexible interior design similar to that in the Fit. Following a refresh in 2019, the HR-V is unchanged for 2020.
Available Trims
Honda offers the HR-V in LX, Sport and Touring trims. All use the same 1.8L four-cylinder engine and standard continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The LX is available with front- or all-wheel drive; AWD is standard in Sport and Touring.
