FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The Sport FWD at $28,400 hits a practical middle ground — it steps up from the base LX FWD ($26,600) in content while keeping you well under the EX-L FWD's $30,450 price point, all with the same 158 hp engine and 28 mpg combined efficiency. If AWD matters to you, the LX AWD at $28,100 actually undercuts the Sport FWD while adding all-wheel drive, making it a strong alternative for buyers in snowy or wet climates.

AWD is available on all three trim levels — LX AWD ($28,100), Sport AWD ($29,900), and EX-L AWD ($31,950) — and adds $1,500 over each trim's FWD counterpart. The trade-off is a small efficiency dip: AWD models return 27 mpg combined versus 28 mpg combined on FWD trims.

FWD trims (LX, Sport, and EX-L) all return 26 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. AWD trims (LX AWD, Sport AWD, and EX-L AWD) come in at 25 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined — a modest but consistent penalty for the added traction hardware.

Every HR-V configuration offers 55.1 cu ft of cargo volume, which is a genuine strength in this class and a key reason shoppers cross-shopping the Kia Seltos or Mazda CX-30 often land on the HR-V.

Yes — every trim uses the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with a CVT, producing 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. Choosing a higher trim buys you more features, not more power.

The HR-V's 55.1 cu ft cargo figure gives it a practical edge over most subcompact SUV rivals, and its FWD fuel economy of 28 mpg combined is competitive in the segment. The Mazda CX-30 typically wins on driving dynamics and interior refinement, while the Kia Seltos can offer more powertrain variety — so the HR-V tends to suit buyers who prioritize cargo utility and Honda's reliability reputation over sportiness.
