2024 Honda HR-V Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Great car for the money!
I went from a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB with all the bells and whistles with AMG stlyling, which I loved, to the HRV Sport. The HRV Sport has the kind of style I loved about my Mercedes and an impressive interior fit and finish for the price. It’s a great car for my daily commute and I appreciate the AWD in case of poor weather conditions. If you are looking for a great standard commuter vehicle with some added style and a nice ride, you will not be disappointed in the HRV. I also appreciate the blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control and automatic headlights with the auto brights feature as well.

Great for price and reliability, but minor complai
I will first say that I do not regret my purchase. However, if we are comparing this vehicle to other brands that are known to have a lot of bells and whistles, with less reliability, then yes, buyer beware. I love the spaciousness of the trunk area. I love the style, especially in black and the sports trim that comes with the black rims and I will say the overall drive of it is beautiful. It is not a supercar, so don’t even try to think of comparing it to that. If you are someone that drives comfortably and cautiously, as most should, then the whole, not having super speed would not be an issue to you. There are very minor complaints that I have about the overall style and feel of this car but again I would not regret my purchase. I will say one of the things that I do not like is the fact that it does not have many regular USB ports for the CarPlay or in the front in general it only has two additional USB-C ports in the middle part of the console which most of us are still working off a USB so I don’t know if this is just ahead of our time. I will say one of the other things that maybe I’m missing - I hope to be missing to be honest - is the fact that it does not have the ability to check your current tire pressure. Thank goodness it does have a current oil life meter. One of the other things that I will say, is that for some odd reason Honda in general, and this applies to even other models, such as the CRV, is the fact that their seatbelt buckle anchor if you will, for the driver and passenger seats are angled inwards, which, if the seat is not positioned in the right spot, it will end up kind of pushing into your hip if you are wide set. When I think about comfortability of the seats, I’m not gonna say it is the absolute most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in but when you get used to it and I’ve even adjusted by adding a middle console pillow cushion, as well as one on the door frame, this helps. I do not like that it only has a cigarette port that is located in the trunk, took me a while to find it. I do not like that the back seat does not have a middle pull down cupholder or vents, which to be honest, I could care less because there is rarely anybody in the backseat, and another thing I will say I don’t know if it is just a fluke but I’ve been having an issue where the back right passenger seatbelt warning will come on at random times when I have turned that option off and there is nothing in that seat so it could just be that I have to reset the system but I hope that it’s not a prolonged issue. With that being said, most people that do buy Honda buy it for the reliability and because there are a lot more people that work on Honda vehicles, something related to maintenance may not be as big of a deal as if you had one of the other brands that are not known for reliability, and may cost you more in the long run. So again, if you’re an average individual who mainly drives alone and doesn’t need a ton of space, but is looking for a stylish vehicle, so far it has been all that.

2024 Honda HRV- Upsized but Underpowered
The 2024 Honda HRV is our 4th Honda and 3rd SUV. After loving our 2008 CRV and not loving our 2017 model, we opted for the 2024 Honda HRV due to it's larger size (Civic based) versus it's predecessor (FIT based), similar appointments (EX-L) and better driving and handling. This compact SUV is quiet, tight, easy to drive and park and handles our daily 'grocery getting' needs. Styling is more Euro-rounded and a bit bland vs the Japanese styled CRV so neither pleasing nor offensive. Two major shortcomings: no power lift gate option even with the top of the line EX-L. Possibly due to the fact that this car 'came of age' during the COVID chip shortage for surely purchasers of a $30,000 compact SUV can afford the $500 or so added for a power liftgate. The second is the underpowered, overly noisy base/only 4 cylinder engine. We did love the 1,5L Turbo in our 2017 CRV (which was much heavier) and would have selected that same engine for our 2024 Honda HRV if it had been offered. The 2024 HRV would drive a lot more smoothly with the higher horsepower powertrain. From a color and trim standpoint, we had very limited choices to be able to choose off-white/light grey leather - Honda seems to 'lock down' color and trim choices and the HRV is saddled with the 'econo-SUV' white, black, grey, silver shades along with a really unattractive green and a 'does not fit this SUV' bright red (think 2008 Nissan 350z red). We would have gladly paid up for some of the other colors offered on Civic and CRV (like the bright blue). One MAJOR area of improvement from Honda: LED forward lighting. Prior lighting systems were so poor that one of the reasons we traded in our 34,000 mile 2017 CRV was just to get better night driving lights. The 2024 Honda HRV will be in our household at least 7 years before it gets 'handed down' to the next member of the family.

Frought with problems
Windows not installed correctly from the factory, failing electrical items, sensors that sense when NOTHING is there and as far as getting it covered by warranty? NOPE- making me call Honda America corporate as the dealer can’t “pinpoint” the problem and is afraid of not being paid (or just doesn’t want to do it at that rate). Lots of buck passing, denial and attempts to blame the customer e.g. tint, front license plate holder as the problem…it’s unbelievable how far Honda has fallen. Have mechanics notes also indicating that there is INDEED a problem but they can’t identify which part it is and thus are not fixing at this time. The doors are both out of spec from the factory- 6 different trips and still not fixed. Junk!
