The 2026 Honda HR-V at Performance Honda Bountiful

The 2026 Honda HR-V, now available at Performance Honda Bountiful, builds upon the solid foundation of its popular subcompact SUV predecessor with a series of thoughtful updates and enhanced standard features. While not a complete redesign, the 2026 model brings welcome improvements in technology, comfort, and aesthetics, further cementing its position as a highly competitive and practical choice for drivers in Woods Cross and the wider Utah area.

Powertrain and Performance: Familiar Efficiency

For 2026, the HR-V retains its reliable and fuel-efficient 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC® four-cylinder engine, producing 158 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 138 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. This engine is paired with a smooth Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

• Fuel Economy: The 2026 HR-V continues to offer impressive EPA estimated fuel economy ratings:
  • FWD: 26 mpg city / 32 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined
  • AWD: 25 mpg city / 30 mpg highway / 27 mpg combined

  This makes the HR-V an economical choice for daily commutes and longer road trips, helping Bountiful drivers save at the pump.

• Driving Dynamics: The HR-V maintains its comfortable and composed ride, thanks to its MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. Honda’s Agile Handling Assist system contributes to responsive steering and confident cornering, making it easy to maneuver in urban environments and enjoyable on winding roads. Real-Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ is available across all trims for enhanced traction in varying conditions.

Key Updates and New Features for 2026

• Larger Standard Touchscreen: A significant upgrade for 2026 is the standard 9.0-inch color touchscreen infotainment system across all trims. Previously, this larger screen was only available on the top-tier EX-L. This provides a more intuitive and visually appealing interface for all HR-V owners.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Complementing the larger screen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility are now standard on all trims. This means seamless smartphone integration without the need for cables, a highly requested and convenient feature.
• Wireless Phone Charger: A wireless smartphone charging pad is also now standard across the entire HR-V lineup, further boosting connectivity and convenience.
• Rear Privacy Glass Standard: All 2026 HR-V trims now come standard with rear privacy glass, providing added security and sun protection for rear passengers.
• New Wheel Designs: The 2026 HR-V introduces refreshed new wheel designs across all three trims, contributing to a subtly updated exterior appearance. The EX-L’s wheels are now 18-inches, while the Sport retains its 18-inch gloss black alloys.
• New Paint Colors: Two new vibrant paint colors join the palette: Boost Blue Pearl (exclusive to Sport) and Solar Reflection Metallic (available on LX and EX-L), offering more personalization options.
• Interior Refinements (EX-L): The top-tier EX-L trim receives additional interior enhancements, including silver steering-wheel spokes, dynamic illumination for the climate control knobs, and front footwell lighting, adding a touch of premium ambiance.

A Refined and Versatile Interior

• Spacious Cabin: Passengers in both the front and rear enjoy ample head and legroom for a subcompact SUV, making it comfortable for both short trips around Bountiful and longer journeys.
• Versatile Cargo Space: The 60/40 split second-row seats fold flat, providing an impressive 55.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume. This versatility is a major selling point, allowing you to easily accommodate groceries, luggage, sports equipment, or even larger items for home improvement projects.
• Thoughtful Storage: The cabin is designed with practical storage solutions, including a clever rubberized bridge compartment in the center console for smartphones and other small items.

Comprehensive Safety with Honda Sensing®

Honda’s commitment to safety remains paramount. The 2026 HR-V comes standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistance technologies across all trims, providing peace of mind for you and your family:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
• Traffic Jam Assist

The Sport and EX-L trims further enhance safety with the inclusion of Blind Spot Information System (BSI) with Cross Traffic Monitor. The EX-L adds Low-Speed Braking Control and front and rear parking sensors for even greater confidence in tight spaces.
