2016 Honda HR-V Review Honda provides a new subcompact crossover, and it will arrive at an economical price
With the HR-V, Honda now has a small ute to match its lineup of CR-Vs and Pilots. And it has a different vehicle spun off from the very likable Honda Fit, the hatchback that was 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 suited to 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. For the front-wheel-drive LX and EX, the engine comes paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is alternative on those trim levels and standard for the front-drive EX-L Navi. All-wheel drive (AWD) is an existing option on all three trim levels, but only with the CVT.
Since the CR-V is in accordance with the Civic, the HR-V shares its platform with the Fit subcompact. The HR-V, nevertheless, is a whole order of magnitude a lot more solid- and substantial-feeling than that waif-like little box. The cabin is really a lot wider, the windshield isn’t miles away, and the interior design and materials are excellent. If you never looked behind you, you can definitely be sure 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 decided on for both packaging and (we’d speculate) cost advantages. This is the first Honda utilizing an electric parking brake, which allows features like hill assist and auto brake hold. Any HR-Vs is available with 17-inch alloy wheels and 215/55 section all-season tires.
