The HR-V pairs a 158-hp 2.0-liter four and CVT across all six trims, with FWD versions earning better fuel economy and AWD versions adding all-weather grip for a few thousand dollars more.
LX FWD starts at $26,600 and gets the same 158-hp engine as every other trim in the lineup.
AWD is available on LX, Sport, and EX-L, all with the same 158-hp engine as their FWD counterparts.
All configurations share 55.1 cu ft of cargo room, so trim choice doesn't cost you space.
Every HR-V configuration runs the same gasoline 2.0L I-4 — there's no hybrid or electrified option in this lineup.
158 hp and 138 lb-ft is modest for the class; if you want quicker acceleration, look elsewhere.
Seating tops out at 5 across the entire lineup — no three-row option exists here.
The cheapest way into an HR-V at $26,600, with the same 158-hp engine and 55.1 cu ft of cargo room as every pricier trim.
At $28,400, Sport FWD sits close to LX pricing but moves you up a trim rung while keeping the FWD-only 28 mpg combined rating.
Sport AWD at $29,900 is the pick for most shoppers who want all-weather traction without paying EX-L AWD money.
EX-L AWD tops the lineup at $31,950 — it's not the value pick, but it's the trim to get if you want the highest-spec HR-V with AWD included.
*MSRP excludes destination charge.
