2024 Honda HR-V Review

July 7th, 2023 by



Honda HR-V


The Honda HR-V is the smallest Honda crossover but with a big heart. It is popular for its practicality and comfort. Its third generation was launched last year and it too should possess these characteristics.

The following is a review of its latest model, the 2024 Honda HR-V:

Powertrain and Numbers

The HR-V 2024 comes with a 2-liter engine that makes 158 hp and 138 lb-ft – the same motor found on the 2023 Honda Civic. This is mated to a CVT gearbox that sends power to the front wheels; all-wheel drive is an optional extra.

The resultant acceleration time is quite decent at around 9 seconds from 0 to 62 mph. The fuel economy ratings by the EPA state that this car can do 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway with FWD. With AWD, you can get 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.

Interior and Technology

On the inside, you get the already-iconic mesh dashboard design that was launched in the Civic and is now available on most of Honda’s new models. The build quality is high and the comfort levels, cubby storage and trunk size are great based on the size of this vehicle.

The following are the trim levels of the 2024 HR-V:

2024 HR-V LX
The entry-level model gets you automatic climate control, push-button ignition, keyless entry, and cruise control. You also get a 7-inch touchscreen connected to 4 speakers, along with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

For safety, you get goodies such as automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning (w/lane-keeping assist), a backup camera, and adaptive cruise control.

2024 HR-V Sport
On this model, you unlock a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated front seats, and two more speakers. The rest of the changes are on the outside.

2024 HR-V EX-L
Here you upgrade to dual-zone climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and ambient LED lighting. You get leather-trimmed seats, with the front driver-side one having 8-way power adjustability.

The infotainment screen is now 9-inch long and is connected to 8 speakers. This trim also features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a charging pad for your phone. Parking sensors for the front and rear are also unlocked.

Reliability and Warranty

JD Power hasn’t rated the 2024 HRV for reliability yet, but last year’s model got a score of 75 out of 100, putting it at average. Meanwhile, Consumer Reports expects it to be more reliable than average. Both are good indicators of its reliability.

Honda offers coverage for 3 years/36k miles in the form of the limited warranty, and 5 years/60k miles based on the powertrain warranty. You can also expect complementary maintenance for 2 years/24k miles.

Verdict

The 2024 Honda HR-V is an impressive subcompact crossover SUV for many reasons. It drives well, is efficient, comfortable, and built well. It is also expected to be reliable and the aftersales are on point.
