Seating capacity: identical across the lineup
Honda lists a seating capacity of 5 for every 2027 HR-V configuration. That applies to the LX FWD at $26,600, the LX AWD at $28,100, the Sport FWD at $28,400, the Sport AWD at $29,900, the EX-L FWD at $30,450, and the EX-L AWD at $31,950. No trim adds or removes a row of seats, and AWD doesn't change the number either — LX AWD, Sport AWD, and EX-L AWD all show the same 5-passenger figure as their FWD counterparts.
Cargo volume: one number for all six trims
Cargo volume is listed at 55.1 cu ft lineup-wide. That's the same figure for the LX FWD, LX AWD, Sport FWD, Sport AWD, EX-L FWD, and EX-L AWD. The catalog does not break this number down by seats-up versus seats-folded configuration — 55.1 cu ft is the only cargo figure provided for the model.

Moving up the lineup from LX FWD to EX-L AWD adds $5,350 to the price, per the verified price spread in Honda's own figures. Adding AWD to any trim carries its own cost — $1,500 more for LX AWD over LX FWD, $1,500 more for Sport AWD over Sport FWD, and $1,500 more for EX-L AWD over EX-L FWD. None of those increases come with a seating or cargo change in the published specs. The engine (2.0L I-4, 158 hp, 138 lb-ft) and CVT transmission are also constant across all six configurations, so the only differences documented between trims are price, drivetrain, and fuel economy — not interior volume.
AWD vs. FWD: no cargo or seating trade-off in the data
Switching from FWD to AWD does affect fuel economy — FWD trims are rated at 28 MPG combined (LX FWD, Sport FWD, EX-L FWD) while AWD trims drop to 27 MPG combined (LX AWD, Sport AWD, EX-L AWD), per the lineup's mpg.best and mpg.lowest figures. But that fuel economy difference isn't tied to any change in seating capacity or cargo volume in the available specs. Anyone choosing between FWD and AWD on this model isn't choosing between different amounts of interior space, at least not according to the figures Honda publishes.
