2025 Honda HR-V Honda of New Rochelle

1. Efficient and Responsive Engine

The HR-V comes with a 1.5L turbocharged inline-four engine, generating 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The HR-V’s powertrain setup is designed to help drivers save big on gas. It offers strong fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.

2. Available Real-Time AWD

Although the HR-V is standard front-wheel drive, it has an available Real-Time AWD system. This system senses when the front tires are losing grip and automatically sends torque to the rear wheels to improve stability and control. This provides peace of mind when navigating wet, snowy, or uneven roads.

3. Spacious, Flexible Interior

The HR-V offers excellent cargo flexibility. The second-row seat has a 60/40 split that enables each section to be folded flat, even when the other is upright. The passenger seat also folds flat, enabling long items to fit. With all seats up, the HR-V offers 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space. With the second-row seats folded, capacity expands to 55.1 cubic feet.

4. Honda Sensing Suite

All models come with the Honda Sensing suite of intelligent driver-assistance features. It includes features such as the Collision Mitigation Braking System, which uses a forward-facing camera and radar to detect vehicles or pedestrians and apply the brakes when needed. Lane Keeping Assist System steers your vehicle to help keep it centered in its lane, while Traffic Sign Recognition displays traffic sign information on the instrument panel.

5. Modern Infotainment System

The base LX trim includes a 7-inch infotainment display, while the other two trims feature a larger 9-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard on all trims, along with Bluetooth connectivity. Multiple USB ports can be found throughout the interior, and the EX-L trim includes a wireless charging pad.

6. Unique Styling

The HR-V stands out from the rest with its unique honeycomb grille. The Sport trim has its own athletic styling, with a gloss-black grille, matte-black bumper, exclusive badging, and 18-inch gloss-black wheels. All models include LED headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights that improve visibility at night.
