2023 Honda HR-V

For the 2023 HR-V, Honda uses a "laser brazing" technique to join the roof and side panels. This creates a seamless merger between the HR-V's exterior fixtures and a smoother roofline than previous HR-V models. You'll also find gracefully sloping body lines, an eye-catching honeycomb grille, and angled headlights. The HR-V LX trim features intricately designed alloy wheels measuring 17 inches, LED brake lights, and body-colored mirrors with heating. On the Sport, you'll find alloy wheels measuring 18 inches, mirrors featuring a glossy black finish, rear privacy glass, and an exhaust finisher with a chrome finish. The EX-L also lets you take advantage of rear privacy glass and features a beautifully sculpted roofline spoiler. Stunning shades like Urban Gray, Milano Red, and Nordic Forest complete the look.

To match its refreshed exterior, the HR-V gets a brand-new engine. With a 2.0-four-cylinder under its hood, the HR-V generates 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. That's quite an improvement over the 2022 HR-V, which only put out 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. The HR-V's increased output enables it to go from zero to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds.

No matter which HR-V trim you choose, you'll enjoy smooth acceleration and straightforward handling thanks to a continuously variable transmission that optimizes engine output and efficiency. A Sport mode adjusts steering response and throttle to give you an even more exhilarating driving experience. The HR-V's nimble front-wheel-drive system gives it incredible flexibility for zipping around busy city streets and taking tight turns. Honda also offers a real-time all-wheel-drive system that can sense the exact moment the HR-V's rear wheels need more torque. You can also take advantage of a Snow Mode that reduces wheel slippage and enhances icy-road acceleration.

Inside the HR-V, you'll find seating for five and a redesigned dashboard featuring an intriguing honeycomb design. The LX and Sport trims feature premium cloth seating surfaces, while the EX-L gets luxurious leather upholstery and front seats with heating. Every HR-V comes equipped with a leather-wrapped steering wheel featuring ergonomic controls and a matching shift knob. Equip your HR-V with the available 9-inch touchscreen, and you can stream music, get traffic updates, and make hands-free phone calls.

The 2023 Honda HR-V comes standard with the Honda Sensing Suite. This innovative safety technology package features a collision mitigation braking system that can detect vehicles and pedestrians as they enter your path and apply the brakes as needed. A road departure mitigation system prevents unintentional drifting, while adaptive cruise control helps you avoid tailgating. You'll receive an alert from the traffic-sign recognition system when approaching a stop or speed limit sign.
