2016 Honda HR-V Review Honda offers a new subcompact crossover, and it will arrive at a realistic price
With the HR-V, Honda definitely has a small ute to enhance 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 is sold with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine excellent 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 recommended on those trim levels and standard for the front-drive EX-L Navi. All-wheel drive (AWD) is an provided option on all three trim levels, but only with the CVT.
As the CR-V is in line with the Civic, the HR-V shares its platform with the Fit subcompact. The HR-V, at the same time, is a whole order of magnitude more solid- and substantial-feeling than that waif-like little box. The cabin is noticeably wider, the windshield isn’t miles away, and the interior design and stuff are excellent. If you never looked behind you, you may clearly be convinced 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 opted for both packaging and (we’d guess) cost advantages. This is the first Honda having an electric parking brake, facilitating features like hill assist and auto brake hold. Every HR-Vs will come with 17-inch alloy wheels and 215/55 section all-season tires.
