Honda's smallest SUV, the 2024 HR-V, has been known to pack a ton of utility and clever features into a compact package. And for 2023 it was completely redesigned. It's larger, more refined and more sophisticated-looking inside and out. But the extra-small SUV segment has gained some impressive offerings of late, and we're afraid the new HR-V hasn't evolved enough to compete with the best.Read full review

Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

4/24/2023

The subcompact 2024 HR-V is Honda's smallest SUV and the brand's most affordable vehicle. It's positioned below Honda's larger SUVs: the CR-V, Pilot and Passport. Last year's complete redesign brought new styling, updated tech and a bit more power. The little Honda boasts lots of passenger room, ample cargo space and is priced competitively. It also comes standard with Honda Sensing, an impressive package of advanced driver aids.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Honda HR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.31 per gallon for regular unleaded in Idaho.}

However, there are some drawbacks to consider before you commit to this pint-sized SUV, all of which you can read about in our test team's Expert Rating below. As part of your shopping search, we also suggest looking at some of its top competitors, including the Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek and Volkswagen Taos. Or if you have the budget for it, go for the larger CR-V, which is significantly better.

Average

7.5

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Honda HR-V on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

7/10

How does the HR-V drive? Our first driving impressions of the HR-V were mixed. We didn't love the artificial feeling of the slightly overly light steering but got used to it over time. The engine and transmission also felt relatively adequate while tooling around at town at low speeds but utterly gutless once you have passengers on board and are trying to makes moves at highway speeds. In fact, the HR-V requires more than 10 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph, which is leisurely even for this class.

The HR-V's most redeeming qualities are its smooth and responsive brakes and tidy handling. Even as one of the larger SUVs is the extra-small class, the HR-V delivers relatively light-footed movement that Hondas are typically known for.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the HR-V? The HR-V's front seat cushions are shockingly stiff. It's almost like sitting on a wooden bench. There is also no lumbar support adjustment, which is surprising and disappointing, especially on our fully loaded test car. It's rare that we find the rear seats to be more comfortable than the fronts, but that holds true for the HR-V. Thankfully things get better from here.

Ride comfort is great. The HR-V doesn't filter out all road bumps, but it does an admirable job of softening them without being overly floaty or lacking in body control. We also appreciate how quiet the cabin is. The HR-V does a good job of keeping road, wind and ambient noise to minimal levels, and if you aren't prodding the engine for speed, you don't hear much from the powertrain either.

The climate control had no issues cooling the cabin, but it oddly maintained too cold a temperature for our tastes in any setting we chose. Perhaps it's to help compensate for the lack of rear air vents, another strike against the HR-V's overall comfort score.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? Putting aside the few comfort oversights, the interior of the HR-V is one of its greatest strengths. For one, it's one of the roomiest cabins in this SUV class, with ample space in both rows. We found it extremely easy to get in and out of thanks to larger door openings and accessible seat heights.

Honda's new touchscreen interface, which is making its way into many of the new models, is easy to acclimate to and simple to use. The steering wheel controls are also very natural to operate, and none of the gauges are obstructed or oddly placed. Seat adjustments for the driver are relatively limited in breadth, but the adjustments that are available offer a good range of motion. We also like how easy it is to see out of the cabin in all directions. Honda doesn't offer a surround-view camera system, but the rearview camera offers multiple viewing angles, which is a plus.

Technology

7/10

How’s the tech? Technology is not the HR-V's strong suit. We see the reason for forgoing a native navigation system in lieu of smartphone integration, which the HR-V does, but it's always a nice option for those who prefer it. The HR-V offers wireless CarPlay and Android Auto with wireless connectivity (a nice plus at this price point), a wireless charging pad, and three USB charge ports in the front cabin. But those will have to be shared with rear passengers because there are oddly no ports in the back. Audiophiles will likely be underwhelmed by the HR-V's sound system too.

The HR-V features a pretty comprehensive set of driver aids, but a lot of them are tuned too conservatively. Adaptive cruise control is slow to accelerate and stops overreactively, and the blind-spot warning system often issued alerts for vehicles that we thought were too far away. We couldn't really use them with passengers on board.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The ability to haul stuff is important for an SUV, and the HR-V is among the top in its class when it comes to that. The rear cargo area feels more generous than its numbers suggest (24.4 cubic feet) since the space is very usable and easily accessible. The rear seatbacks can also be folded virtually flat with the cargo floor to facilitate transport of longer items. And if you have car seats to install, it's a breeze. Generous rear legroom, large doors, and easy-to-access LATCH anchors and top tethers all help to make your life easier. One small caveat: There is no top tether for the middle position, so front-facing car seats have to be installed in an outboard seat.

Storage for small items in the cabin is pretty good but not great. We like the rubberized bridge compartment behind the shifter, where you can store a smartphone for charging, and the center armrest bin is fairly deep. Otherwise door pockets are fairly small and the glovebox average. We're also a bit bummed Honda did away with the cool and clever rear flip-up seat bottoms (aka Magic Seat).

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The all-wheel-drive HR-V gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in combined driving (25 city/30 highway), which is just marginally less than many of its closest competition, some of which have more powerful engines. After driving it on our 115-mile evaluation loop, however, we saw an impressive 31.6 mpg under fairly light traffic conditions. We suspect having passengers on board will tax this underpowered engine more than most.

Value

7.5/10

Is the HR-V a good value? Honda did a great job of putting the money where it counts with the HR-V interior. All the touch points are soft or cushioned, and the controls feel like they have a nice quality to them. Aesthetically this is also a big step up from the previous car and a strong showing relative to the rest of the class. Pricing for the HR-V is also surprisingly competitive, with our top-level model coming in at just over $30K, which is less expensive than a lot of competitors. The big fly in the ointment, however, is the HR-V's anemic powertrain. And with no other engine options, it's hard for us to call this a well-rounded package for the money.

Honda's warranty remains fairly unremarkable compared to what other manufacturers offer. The HR-V has three years/36,000 miles of basic and five years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage.

Wildcard

7/10

If there's a world where Honda makes its excellent 1.5-liter turbo engine available to the HR-V, that's a world we'd want to live in. Until then the HR-V will likely remain lost among a sea of other more interesting subcompact SUVs. As far as design goes, the car has definitely matured over its predecessor and sports a much more substantial and upmarket feel. But it also doesn't break any new ground in our eyes. It's ... safe.

Which HR-V does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend going for the Sport trim if you want the best value. In addition to what comes standard on the base LX trim, you get a sportier look plus some helpful extras, such as heated front seats and proximity keyless entry.

I went from a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB with all the bells and whistles with AMG stlyling, which I loved, to the HRV Sport.

The 2024 Honda HRV is our 4th Honda and 3rd SUV.

Honda HR-V vs. Volkswagen Taos

Volkswagen launched its smallest SUV for the 2022 model year. It's one of the most competitive in its class. The Taos is quicker and more comfortable than the HR-V, and it provides superior tech. The Volkswagen also has more cargo space and is more fuel-efficient, especially the front-wheel-drive model. Both SUVs offer lots of passenger room and have similar starting prices, but the Taos' higher trims are pricey.

Honda HR-V vs. Mazda CX-30

The CX-30 is a stylish and sporty alternative to the HR-V. It packs a more powerful engine and comes standard with all-wheel drive. As with most Mazdas, it's fun to drive and boasts a chic interior. It's not as roomy as the HR-V but provides better seat and ride comfort. A package of advanced driver aids comes standard on both rivals. The CX-30 has a lower starting price, but its higher trims with the base engine are more expensive than the HR-V's. The optional turbo engine is powerful but will set you back a lot more.

Honda HR-V vs. Honda CR-V

The HR-V's big brother is a superior SUV in almost every way. Even though it's larger and more powerful, the CR-V is surprisingly more fuel-efficient as well. It's also more comfortable and has the advantage in tech. Of course the CR-V is more expensive, but the base LX trim costs about as much as the HR-V's top EX-L trim. The CR-V's well-equipped EX trim is only a few thousand more and is worth the premium if you can afford it.
