After another lengthy gestation period, the all-new third generation HR-V, touted as Honda’s hip and sporty roundabout comfortable compact crossover vehicle is back, this time sporting the latest in safety and performance.
The range-topping V Turbo CVT comes with the 1.5 liter turbocharged engine while the non-turbo S CVT comes with the 1.5 liter naturally aspirated engine. These engines produce 177hp / 240 Newton-meters of torque and 121hp / 145 Newton-meters of torque, respectively. Power is then transmitted to the ground via a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The HR-V has three driving modes available to suit your mood:
ECON Mode–optimizing the operation of the engine to align with driving style to maximize fuel efficiency.
Normal Mode–used for general and daily driving.
Sport Mode (exclusive to the V Turbo CVT Honda SENSING only)–the car’s engine accelerates more readily for more fun and enjoyment when driving.
Both variants come with Honda SENSING, the brand’s all-encompassing safety suite of active driving aids which ensure a better, safer, and more convenient driving experience.
Honda SENSING features adaptive cruise control, a Collision Mitigation Braking System, lane-departure warning, a Road Departure Mitigation System, and lane centering assistance.



The 3rd generation HR-V has sleek and sophisticated headlights and fog lamps that house standard LEDs with turn light signals, auto on/off function, and features Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), providing the driver that optimized visibility on the road. For the grille, the All-New HR-V V Turbo CVT Honda SENSING is fitted with a mesh type grille, while the base S CVT Honda SENSING comes with a black bar type grille. The two variants are further differentiated by a grey finish on the wheels of the range-topping V Turbo CVT Honda SENSING while the base S CVT Honda SENSING is treated with a black and silver color scheme.
At the back, the most striking visual element is the LED tail light bar which spans the entire width of the HR-V, accentuating its sophisticated silhouette together with the sloping rear profile.
The high-quality interior, always a Honda strong suit features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display system paired with a 6-speaker sound system. The infotainment system supports various multimedia functions such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which gives the driver access to several apps.
Other creature comforts include a one push start system, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and single-zone automatic climate control with rear air vents and the new air diffusion system which evenly distributes the natural breeze to all occupants throughout the cabin. Also, for better convenience, both trims of the All-New Honda HR-V come standard with a remote engine start function, allowing the driver to start the engine with just a press of a button from the key fob.
Similar to many modern premium vehicles, the V Turbo CVT Honda SENSING features a 7-inch digital display while the S CVT Honda SENSING comes with a 4.2-inch digital display.
Like other Honda vehicles, the All-New Honda HR-V also boasts its flexible interior space which is another strong suit of the brand. Cargo loading is made more fun and easier all thanks to its ULT seats which are composed of three adjustable modes:
Utility Mode–The two rear seats can be folded to increase cargo space, demonstrating Honda’s signature fold-flat flexibility at the rear.
Long Mode–Folding front and rear seats for a lengthy space.
Tall Mode–Honda’s unique versatility is shown in the tip-up rear seats for more vertical space. This feature is an HR-V exclusive in its segment.
