2025 Honda HR-V: Compact SUV with Big Practicality!

The 2025 Honda HR-V continues to deliver practicality and comfort in a compact SUV package. Sharing much of its DNA with the popular CR-V, it offers a spacious interior, modern tech features, and a refined ride. However, with only one engine option-a 2.0L four-cylinder-the HR-V isn't the quickest in its class. While competitors like the Mazda CX-30 and Hyundai Kona offer more engaging drives, the HR-V shines with reliability, efficiency, and everyday usability.
Exterior Design
The HR-V carries a sleek and contemporary design, featuring a bold front grille, sculpted body lines, and available 18-inch black wheels on the Sport trim. While it may not be the flashiest SUV in the segment, its clean styling and refined proportions give it a sophisticated look.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Under the hood, the HR-V is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 158 horsepower, paired with a CVT. This setup, while reliable and efficient, results in a sluggish 0-60 mph time of 9.4 seconds. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while all-wheel drive is available for an additional $1,500. Fuel economy is respectable, with up to 32 mpg on the highway in FWD models.
Interior
The HR-V takes inspiration from the Civic, offering a well-designed and practical cabin. The front seats are comfortable with ample adjustability, while the cargo area is surprisingly spacious-accommodating seven carry-on suitcases with the rear seats up and 22 with them folded. Infotainment options include a 7.0-inch or 9.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the EX-L trim adds wireless connectivity and a wireless charging pad.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Honda equips the HR-V with an impressive suite of standard safety features, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. It has strong safety ratings and is expected to perform well in crash tests.
Price and Release Date
The 2025 Honda HR-V starts at $26,450, with the top-tier EX-L trim reaching $30,550. The Sport trim offers the best value, balancing price and features effectively. While there are no major updates for 2025, the HR-V remains a solid choice for buyers seeking a reliable and practical small SUV.
