I’m manifesting that I’m able to upgrade my Honda Civic 2007 to this car by the end of this year 💗💗 keeping my fingers crossed! It’s about time I get a new car

[@biancamichelle11]

Same here! I have a 2005 Honda civic hybrid, time for a new car! 🪄

[@benainslie-fleck2516]

I'm currently driving a 2003 ford Taurus so almost 21yrs old. This HRV is definitely an upgrade! 😅

[@dsallenger0314]

I just purchased a 2024 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD, (Modern Steel Dark Gray Metallic/Black Leather) and love it! I just wish Honda had more color choices for the HR-V's!

[@toddcrumbaker1207]

I am on my second HR-V and I have had my 2024 HR-V sport for several months and absolutely love it. It’s a great vehicle. The changes from my 2017 to this new model are huge. It’s so smooth and quiet and the features you get for the money are great. It’s a great value. My 2017 was bullet proof and since this has the civic 2.0 I’m sure it will last a very long time. Highly recommend.

[@ums00750532]

Also my second HRV! Had the 2016 and she was very good to me! Love the new changes and no more confusing guests with the back doors. I do miss the back seat folding up, but I hardly used it anyway.

[@KaranSingh5]

Hi there! I am actually considering HR-V. to replace my 10th gen Civic (lots of AC issues). Just wanted to knw one thing. Does 2024 HR-V struggle on highway ramps and while overtaking other vehicles on highways? That's my only concern. I have the exact same engine in my Civc right now. Your feedback would be much appreciated!

[@RogerBrenon]

My older HRV - The seats were the worst seats in any car I've ever had in 50 years. The CVT was the worst trans I ever felt and had ZERO get up and go. What's so good about this one if they just changed the looks?

[@erickatarver3421]

How is it on gas? I currently have a 2019 accord and I’m thinking of upgrading to the HRV. I’m paying about $60 for a full tank, I’m sure this car will take more because it is a bigger car but I’m hoping not too much more

[@davewilson7602]

Considering the sub 30k price and probable reliability this is great. Wish this trim had a sunroof but that’s about my only issue.

[@braetonwilson4296]

It's way too underpowered. TheTopher said it took him almost 13 seconds to do zero to 60 in the latest gen HRV. Other reviewers have said it took them over 11 seconds. Too slow for the price!

[@treewanbrands7760]

I bought mine in April. I loved it. it looks very nice. I like the technology that come with it. I was planing to get certify used car either Toyota or Honda, but they were so expensive. This HR-V is very affordable price. only thing i dont like would be how fast to speed up, i felt like i really have to push hard to get to speed i want. My old car was Volvo c30 turbo, it was easy to speed up and pass other car. other than that issue, i love it

[@namvet1968]

May I ask your price?

[@mehdialiani5482]

Exactly same feeling when I tested it, I liked the quality and quietness inside the car(considering its price), mazda cx30 turbo version is rocket, I really liked its snapy acceleration

[@braetonwilson4296]

Car reviewers have stated that the HRV takes 11-13 seconds to do zero to 60. Slow!

Just shift from D to S and you will have more Acceleration

It looks so nice this might be my first car ❤❤❤❤ it won my heart .thank you for the review ben

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

Wife has the 2023 and it has virtually no acceleration. Over here 👈🏻 people drive like it’s the Indy 500. Therefore it’s a little bit of a hazard that you can’t accelerate to keep up with the oncoming traffic. Other than that I like the compact size of it and it is all wheel drive for the snow.

[@REVUPMEDIA]

Put that bad boy on sport

[@TheTeam1Direction]

Yes my car is slow and it scares me when i get on highways because of how much it struggles to accelerate. I was contemplating on this one(for the way it looks) but i see many are saying it’s slow so i guess ima just look for something else 😅

[@kelvin-li]

This car is really nice for a small family, Nigeria's exchange rate is just too bad cause it's a lovely car to own.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Great review Ben! Another reason why the Civic manual was faster is because it's 400 pounds lighter than this HRV. HRV is a great SUV but it's underpowered when you consider it's weight. TheTopher said it took him almost 13 seconds to do zero to 60 in a 2023 HRV.

[@theshield1613]

Underpowered means more reliability

[@chungchhen]

Hey Ben! Does it come with auto stop/start? I loathe this feature to the bone. Thanks for the review.

[@bettysmith4527]

I just bought one in the US and it does not!!

[@stemike7956]

$33k in New England, 150hp and a 0-60 I gave up on while test driving because it was an awkward 9 seconds of silence with the dealer, that I broke by saying "Is this in econ?" ..... It wasn't! Not going to get you anywhere in the snow with less than 30 tq per wheel.

[@bcomingCanNoy]

Hi Ben, still no center seat folding at back for cupholders / arm rest?

does the back seats come with additional hookups for cellphones and if so, do we need to special order it which level comes with it etc

Im not really a big fan of the asymmetrical quasi digital dash from an aesthetics perspective. They really skimped out on the backseat too, at least give us one USB port.

Really pushing the limits on the financing there, to each their own but dang, save some money too 😅

[@jjacob25101]

I will probably be getting an Urban Grey Pearl FWD Sport. It is more practical and a better Fit, pun intended, for me over a Boost Blue Pearl Civic Sport Hatchback I previously wanted and still like very much. *The Sport comes with only the black Sport emblem on the rear, but the other black exterior emblems are optionsl OEM accessories that should come included with the Sport, but some dealerships are OCD like me, and put them on. That is kind of odd to have the stock Sport with just a black Sport emblem, but it saves the cost of that if you get the remaining other black emblems. Other than that, it's understandable what you see is what you get for the price. But, I wish they would at least put a map storage pocket back in rhe rear of the Driver's/left seat like they used to, like cars like the Toyota Camry that still has that. The only other things I would probably want that the EX-L has is the front and rear parking sensors, wireless charging, Apple Car Play and Android Auto, since it doesn't offer the Bose Stereo, and maybe a rear seat center armrest with cupholders. And also, a 12 volt adapter in the front for a dashcam, or other accessories in addition to just in the rear hatch area. But, of course, that is all extra cost. The Sport models usually have just the right amount of stuff to be nice, without things you don't need and some don't want, like a moon roof, dual zone A/C, or power adjust seats, etc.

This is the problem, people like you you're complaining about how slow it is then you go on with a passive aggressive, and say that the person driving it will be a senior citizen like you make no sense you're bashing a car for a speed but then saying a senior citizen is going to be driving it so she doesn't care.

[@Cruel_Shoes]

This Honda along with the Chevy Trax are great. Not can afford a $75,000-$100,000 car pick up or EV. Not everybody wants something that expensive. Between the two, and I have owned Chevys and I own Hondas I would take the Honda. It’s about $5000 more you get a four-cylinder engine 150 hp without the use of a turbo charger which will last about 50 K. But the nice thing about these and other cars at the lower end of the price scale is it they exist!

This is a ZR-V for the rest of the world, in Europe with a 2.0L Atkinson engine coupled with 2 electric motors, a hybrid just like the European Civic configuration. No CVT, mainly an electric driven car, at higher speeds with a fixed gear petrol-engine/front wheels.

Just got one and upgraded from 22 civic - it’s the same acceleration as a civic sport 2022 due to same horsepower and engine. These people comparing have never test driven this car. Y’all have no idea what you’re talking about it accelerates perfectly fine, it’s not a damn race car. It’s a mini tank that is safe and reliable which is what most people look for in a car- go get the type R if you’re complaining about acceleration and HP lol - and older Honda may have been more power but the new 4 cylinders are so good and efficient they use less power compared to older Hondas. 😂

[@paulos9304]

In the UK this model is a ZR-V. These US and Canadian models are much better looking than the horrors we have in the uk that are hrv. I like these ones. Nice looking car compared to UK version.
