2016 Honda HR-V Review Honda gives you a new subcompact crossover, and it comes at an inexpensive price
With the HR-V, Honda ultimately has a small ute to blend with its lineup of CR-Vs and Pilots. And it has additional vehicle spun off from the very likable Honda Fit, the hatchback which had been a finalist in both The Car Connection's and Green Car Reports' Best Car To Buy competitions.
The Honda HR-V features a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine best for 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. For the front-wheel-drive LX and EX, the engine will arrive paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is additional on those trim levels and standard for the front-drive EX-L Navi. All-wheel drive (AWD) is an on the market option on all three trim levels, but only with the CVT.
Whereas the CR-V is based on the Civic, the HR-V shares its platform with the Fit subcompact. The HR-V, anyway, is a whole order of magnitude far more solid- and substantial-feeling than that waif-like little box. The cabin is notably wider, the windshield isn’t miles away, and the interior design and parts are best. If you never looked behind you, you may quickly be certain that this is a new CR-V.
The HR-V is suspended with McPherson struts in front and an H-shaped torsion beam and coil springs in back. The solid rear axle was picked out for both packaging and (we’d think) cost advantages. This is the first Honda equipped with an electric parking brake, putting features like hill assist and auto brake hold. The entire HR-Vs is available with 17-inch alloy wheels and 215/55 section all-season tires.
