The 2025 Honda HR-V LX at Performance Honda Bountiful

The 2025 Honda HR-V LX, available at Performance Honda Bountiful, serves as the gateway to Honda’s subcompact SUV lineup. It offers a compelling combination of Honda’s renowned reliability, a surprisingly spacious interior for its class, and a good array of standard features, all at an accessible price point. While it might not boast the bells and whistles of higher trims, the HR-V LX provides a solid foundation for those seeking a fuel-efficient and practical small SUV for navigating Woods Cross and beyond.

Efficient Performance for Urban Adventures

The 2025 HR-V LX is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

  • Fuel Efficiency Focus: The primary strength of this powertrain in the LX trim is its focus on fuel economy. Expect around 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway (for the front-wheel-drive model), making it an economical choice for daily commuting and errands around Bountiful.
  • Adequate Power for City Driving: While not the most powerful in its class, the HR-V LX provides sufficient power for navigating city streets and merging onto highways. However, drivers looking for more spirited acceleration might find it less engaging than some competitors.
  • Smooth CVT Operation: The CVT aims for smooth and seamless acceleration, prioritizing efficiency over a traditional stepped-gear feel. Some drivers may find the engine noise under hard acceleration noticeable due to the nature of the CVT.

Surprisingly Spacious and Practical Interior

Despite its subcompact classification, the 2025 HR-V LX offers a surprisingly roomy and versatile interior:

  • Ample Passenger Space: The HR-V provides comfortable seating for up to five passengers, with decent legroom in both the front and rear for its segment.
  • Clever Cargo Solutions: The HR-V shines in terms of cargo capacity. Behind the rear seats, you’ll find a usable 24.4 cubic feet of space. Folding down the 60/40 split second-row seats expands this significantly to 55.1 cubic feet, allowing you to haul larger items with ease – a practical feature for weekend trips from Woods Cross.
  • Thoughtful Storage: The cabin features various storage cubbies and compartments for stowing everyday items, including a useful rubberized bridge compartment in the center console for smartphones.
  • Comfortable Seating: The cloth upholstery on the LX trim is durable and comfortable for everyday use. The driver’s seat typically offers manual adjustments for height and reach to help find a comfortable driving position.

Essential Features at an Accessible Price

  • Safety First: Honda’s commitment to safety is evident with the inclusion of the Honda Sensing® suite as standard. This includes:
    • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
    • Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
    • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
    • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
    • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
    • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
    • Traffic Jam Assist
    • Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
  • Infotainment Basics: The LX trim features a 7-inch color touchscreen infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
  • Connectivity: You’ll find USB ports for charging and connecting devices. Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® and streaming audio are also standard.
  • Comfort and Convenience: Standard features include automatic climate control, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, and LED headlights with auto on/off.
  • Wheels: The LX trim typically comes with 17-inch alloy wheels.
  • Rearview Camera: A multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines is standard, aiding in parking and reversing.

Considerations for the LX Trim

  • Smaller Infotainment Screen: The 7-inch screen is smaller than the 9-inch unit found in the EX-L trim.
  • Fewer Speakers: The LX typically comes with a 4-speaker audio system, whereas higher trims offer more speakers and potentially a premium sound system.
  • Lack of Some Comfort Features: Features like heated seats, a moonroof, leather upholstery, and power-adjustable driver’s seat are not available on the LX.
  • Wired Smartphone Integration Only: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are typically reserved for the top-tier EX-L trim.
  • No Wireless Charging: A wireless phone charging pad is not offered on the LX.
