2025 Honda HR-V
No other vehicle segment is more competitive than that of the SUV. The past two decades have seen the subcompact SUV become quite beloved by consumers. Many drivers enjoy the advantage of the subcompact class as they offer the same benefits of seating and storage that larger models do, yet they are agile enough to navigate city traffic while sustaining conservative fuel consumption. The 2025 Honda HR-V is just such a vehicle—smaller than its sibling, the CR-V, yet retaining all of the advantages that Honda offers.

Performance
Efficiency and Handling
A vehicle like the 2025 Honda HR-V offers performance that appeals to the busy consumer keen to save money at the pump and navigate the stop-and-go traffic patterns accompanying city driving. The emphasis on conservative fuel economy has made the subcompact SUV class popular among many drivers, and Honda greatly emphasizes the design of the HR-V's powertrain for the thrift-conscious driver.
All three trims of the 2025 Honda HR-V are equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. The HR-V's engine pairs with a CVT to ensure great fuel economy when commuting in the city. Testing conducted by the EPA shows that the 2025 Honda HR-V will achieve 26 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway for 28 MPG combined.[b] Drivers can expect to travel 392 miles on a full tank of gas, ensuring that one fill-up a week is all that's necessary to get around town and away from it all on the weekend.
FWD is the standard drivetrain with the HR-V, but Honda's real-time AWD with intelligent control is available for those who wish to exert better control on the road or engage in light off-roading. Honda's AWD technology has been adept in sending additional power to the rear wheels for better traction during tumultuous weather conditions or ascending steep inclines. All trims of the HR-V—regardless of whether they're FWD or AWD—come with Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist, allowing safe travels, whether ascending or descending.
With a powertrain designed for fuel economy and the opportunity to use Honda's competent AWD technology, the 2025 HR-V is suited for a multitude of driving situations. Thanks to its size, the HR-V is agile, can maneuver around the city, and can instantaneously adapt to the winding trails that come with recreational activities and adventures.
Interior
Technology and Space
The 2025 Honda HR-V's economic advantages are certainly pleasing, but the interior is just as satisfying for slightly different reasons. The interior of any vehicle is where you spend your time, so having a comfortable experience with access to amenities and the tech-savvy items that modern drivers use daily is crucial. Luckily, all trims of the HR-V come with items that bolster comfort and tech and have much to offer regarding practicality with seating and storage.
The infotainment screen in the 2025 Honda HR-V provides access to various apps and other technologies. The LX and Sport trims receive a seven-inch screen compatible with Apple and Android products. The top-tier EX-L trim gets a larger nine-inch infotainment screen and is the only one to receive wireless compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Audio quality varies by trim, with the LX getting a four-speaker stereo system. By comparison, the Sport received a much more refined system consisting of six speakers, which generate 180 watts of power, and the top-tier EX-L trim of the HR-V gets an eight-speaker system. The EX-L also receives many trim-exclusive tech items such as HD Radio, SiriusXM, and a wireless phone charging pad. All trims can stream audio via Bluetooth and have speed-sensitive volume compensation.
Multiple features provide a comfortable driving experience, bolstering the tech aspects of the Honda HR-V. Except for the LX trim, all versions of the HR-V receive heated front seats. The LX and Sport have an automatic climate control system, with dual-zone climate control reserved for the EX-L, which also receives leather-trimmed seats and ambient LED lighting.
Tech aside, the 2025 HR-V is also a highly practical means of transportation, providing seating for five passengers with plenty of headroom and legroom to ensure the comfort of all. Despite the HR-V being a subcompact SUV, it provides plenty of storage space for groceries and luggage. With all five seats occupied, the Honda HR-V offers over 24 cu.ft of storage space—considerably more than a four-door sedan's average trunk size. When the cargo room takes precedence over passenger space, the rear seats can be folded down to unlock over 55 cu.ft. of available storage.
Drivers who enjoy a comfortable driving experience with plenty of tech and practical features will feel right at home in the 2025 Honda HR-V. Besides the numerous amenities, the HR-V offers the practical items many drivers look for in an SUV.
Safety
Driver Assistance Features
With agile and economical performance and an interior equipped to ensure comfort and connectivity, the 2025 Honda HR-V provides plenty of advantages for the modern driver. However, a well-rounded vehicle requires a comprehensive slate of driver assistance features—which is why Honda ensures that the HR-V has such features, many of which come standard on all trims. Before diving into these items, though, it's worth noting that the 2025 HR-V was awarded a five-star safety rating from the NHTSA in government-mandated collision testing, proving its effectiveness in protecting occupants in the event of an accident.[c]
The 2025 HR-V comes with several standard safety and driver assistance features that are a part of the Honda Sensing suite. The most crucial aspect of being a safe driver is the ability to react to a situation; multiple features are included to supplement your reaction time when you're behind the wheel. Items such as forward collision warning use radar and camera technology to alert you when a collision may be imminent. If you don't react after an alert is issued, Honda's collision mitigation braking system engages the brakes to reduce momentum in an attempt to bring your vehicle to a stop. Reaction time during stretches of highway driving is ensured thanks to adaptive cruise control, which monitors traffic patterns and adjusts your vehicle's speed accordingly.
Other notable items included across all HR-V trims are lane keeping and lane departure technology, a traffic management assistant, automated high beams, and a traffic sign recognition system. Upper trims have more advanced items to provide protection and oversight, with the Sport trim receiving a blind spot information system with cross-traffic monitoring. The EX-L trim gets the most innovative technologies from Honda, such as low-speed braking control and front and rear parking sensors. Regardless of what trim you choose, you can rest assured that Honda grants you access to some highly advanced features.
In an age where some manufacturers are obscuring high-tech safety features behind pricey add-ons and expensive trims, Honda is making more of them standard. Safety should never come with a price tag, and Honda's dedication to the safety of its drivers and passengers is apparent in the multiple features of the 2025 HR-V.
