About the 2027 Honda HR-V
2nd-generation U.S.-market HR-V (2023-present), fifth model year; no significant changes after the 2026 update
Honda positions the HR-V as its city-friendly small crossover, combining easy-to-manage dimensions with seating for five, a flexible split-folding rear seat, useful cargo space, and standard driver-assistance technology. Its core appeal is practical everyday transportation with a cleaner, more mature design than many small SUVs. FWD and AWD versions serve commuters as well as drivers who face snow or changing road conditions.
The LX is the straightforward entry trim, with a 158-hp engine, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard driver-assistance features. The Sport adds a bolder look, heated front seats, and blind-spot monitoring, while the comfort-focused EX-L brings leather-trimmed heated seats, a moonroof, and parking sensors.
