2023 Honda HR-V

The 2023 Honda HR-V is available in three trims: LX, Sport, and EX-L. Despite being the automaker's smallest SUV, the HR-V grew for the 2023 model year and boasts a wheelbase that expands by almost 2 inches, a larger width by almost 2.5 inches more, and a longer body by almost 9 inches. Premium paint choices are now available and include Nordic Forest Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, and Urban Gray Pearl.

Only one engine is available with the 2023 Honda HR-V, but it's a vast improvement over the previous model year's engine. The new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. The SUV uses a front-wheel drive continuously variable automatic transmission, but all-wheel drive is available.

When you hit the road with the 2023 Honda HR-V, you'll experience excellent driving dynamics. Its chassis does an amazing job of keeping the SUV on the roadway, no matter how sharp a turn you take. You should also have an easy time maneuvering the SUV on tight city streets or in busy parking lots.

A two-row SUV that seats five people, the 2023 Honda HR-V offers plenty of headroom and legroom for travelers in both rows. This budget-friendly SUV doesn't skimp when it comes to premium features inside the HR-V. Several high-end features, including leather upholstery and heated front seats, make the cabin feel like a luxury vehicle. The vehicle also has 24.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, and that number increases to 55.1 cubic feet when you fold them flat.

Use either the standard 7-inch or optional 9-inch touchscreen display to access the user-friendly infotainment system. Both screens are easily accessible and provide quick responses. If you prefer, you can also access audio and climate controls via knobs. Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Bluetooth, and three USB ports come standard, but you can add wireless smartphone charging and connectivity as well as HD and satellite radio. Another interesting add-on feature is the 7-inch digital gauge cluster, which has a left-side display that shows different readouts while the right-side display features an analog speedometer.

Honda knows how important safety is, which is why the automaker has installed plenty of driver-assistance features inside the 2023 Honda HR-V. Every model includes driver drowsiness monitoring, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, and adaptive cruise control. It also includes a rear-seat reminder, which alerts you to check the rear seats for children or pets before exiting the vehicle. You can also add front and rear parking sensors and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
