Honda's smallest SUV, the 2025 HR-V, has been known to pack a ton of utility and clever features into a compact package. This latest model largely delivers. However, the extra-small SUV segment has gained some impressive offerings of late, and the latest HR-V hasn't evolved enough to compete with the best.Read full review

2025 Honda HR-V Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Roomy seating
Easy to get in and out of
Bigger cargo area than most other extra-small SUVs

Cons

Slow acceleration
Uncomfortable front seats

What's new

The HR-V carries over unchanged for 2025
Part of the second HR-V generation introduced for 2023

Overview

The HR-V is Honda's smallest and most affordable SUV positioned below the larger CR-V, Passport and Pilot SUVs. It has an affordable starting price for an SUV and provides roomy seating and an ample amount of cargo space considering its small stature. The HR-V's infotainment system is easy to use, but its standard 7-inch touchscreen is relatively small. The little Honda offers a lot, but it falls behind class leaders in acceleration, front seat comfort and fuel economy.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Honda HR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $2.96 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Standard safety tech

Every HR-V model comes standard with the Honda Sensing package of advanced driver aids. The safety package includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, a lane centering system and more. A package like this doesn't come standard on many of the HR-V's rivals and makes its price look even more appealing. Blind-spot warning with rear-cross traffic warning is standard on all but the base model. Unsure what these features do? Read the "Honda HR-V models" section below for a description of each.

Competitors to consider

The HR-V is a solid choice for an extra-small SUV, but it's up against compelling rivals you should consider before heading over to your local Honda dealership. The Volkswagen Taos and Chevrolet Trailblazer are two of our highest-ranked extra-small SUVs that outperform the HR-V. The Mazda CX-30 is another worthy rival, and the recently redesigned Subaru Crosstrek is a notable competitor. Consider the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid if you want a hybrid, an uncommon option in this segment. If you want to know what our test team thinks of the HR-V, check out the thorough Expert Rating below.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7/10

How does the HR-V drive? Our first driving impressions of the HR-V were mixed. We didn't love the artificial feeling of the slightly overly light steering but got used to it over time. The engine and transmission also felt relatively adequate while tooling around at town at low speeds but utterly gutless once you have passengers on board and are trying to makes moves at highway speeds. In fact, the HR-V requires more than 10 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph, which is leisurely even for this class.

The HR-V's most redeeming qualities are its smooth and responsive brakes and tidy handling. Even as one of the larger SUVs is the extra-small class, the HR-V delivers relatively light-footed movement that Hondas are typically known for.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the HR-V? The HR-V's front seat cushions are shockingly stiff. It's almost like sitting on a wooden bench. There is also no lumbar support adjustment, which is surprising and disappointing, especially on our fully loaded test car. It's rare that we find the rear seats to be more comfortable than the fronts, but that holds true for the HR-V. Thankfully things get better from here.

Ride comfort is great. The HR-V doesn't filter out all road bumps, but it does an admirable job of softening them without being overly floaty or lacking in body control. We also appreciate how quiet the cabin is. The HR-V does a good job of keeping road, wind and ambient noise to minimal levels, and if you aren't prodding the engine for speed, you don't hear much from the powertrain either.

The climate control had no issues cooling the cabin, but it oddly maintained too cold a temperature for our tastes in any setting we chose. Perhaps it's to help compensate for the lack of rear air vents, another strike against the HR-V's overall comfort score.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? Putting aside the few comfort oversights, the interior of the HR-V is one of its greatest strengths. For one, it's one of the roomiest cabins in this SUV class, with ample space in both rows. We found it extremely easy to get in and out of thanks to larger door openings and accessible seat heights.

Honda's new touchscreen interface, which is making its way into many of the new models, is easy to acclimate to and simple to use. The steering wheel controls are also very natural to operate, and none of the gauges are obstructed or oddly placed. Seat adjustments for the driver are relatively limited in breadth, but the adjustments that are available offer a good range of motion. We also like how easy it is to see out of the cabin in all directions. Honda doesn't offer a surround-view camera system, but the rearview camera offers multiple viewing angles, which is a plus.

Technology

7/10

How’s the tech? Technology is not the HR-V's strong suit. We see the reason for forgoing a native navigation system in lieu of smartphone integration, which the HR-V does, but it's always a nice option for those who prefer it. The HR-V offers wireless CarPlay and Android Auto with wireless connectivity (a nice plus at this price point), a wireless charging pad, and three USB charge ports in the front cabin. But those will have to be shared with rear passengers because there are oddly no ports in the back. Audiophiles will likely be underwhelmed by the HR-V's sound system too.

The HR-V features a pretty comprehensive set of driver aids, but a lot of them are tuned too conservatively. Adaptive cruise control is slow to accelerate and stops overreactively, and the blind-spot warning system often issued alerts for vehicles that we thought were too far away.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The ability to haul stuff is important for an SUV, and the HR-V is among the top in its class when it comes to that. The rear cargo area feels more generous than its numbers suggest (24.4 cubic feet) since the space is very usable and easily accessible. The rear seatbacks can also be folded virtually flat with the cargo floor to facilitate transport of longer items. And if you have car seats to install, it's a breeze. Generous rear legroom, large doors, and easy-to-access LATCH anchors and top tethers all help to make your life easier. One small caveat: There is no top tether for the middle position, so front-facing car seats have to be installed in an outboard seat.

Storage for small items in the cabin is pretty good but not great. We like the rubberized bridge compartment behind the shifter, where you can store a smartphone for charging, and the center armrest bin is fairly deep. Otherwise door pockets are fairly small and the glovebox average.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The all-wheel-drive HR-V, which is what we tested, gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which is just marginally less than many of its closest competition, some of which have more powerful engines. After driving it on our real-world evaluation route, however, we saw an impressive 31.6 mpg under fairly light traffic conditions. We suspect having passengers on board will tax this underpowered engine more than most.

Value

7.5/10

Is the HR-V a good value? Honda did a great job of putting the money where it counts with the HR-V interior. All the touch points are soft or cushioned, and the controls feel like they have a nice quality to them. Aesthetically this is also a big step up from the previous car and a strong showing relative to the rest of the class. Pricing for the HR-V is also surprisingly competitive. The big fly in the ointment, however, is the HR-V's anemic powertrain. And with no other engine options, it's hard for us to call this a well-rounded package for the money.

Honda's warranty remains fairly unremarkable compared to what other manufacturers offer. The HR-V has three years/36,000 miles of basic and five years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage.

Wildcard

7/10

If there's a world where Honda makes its excellent 1.5-liter turbo engine available to the HR-V, that's a world we'd want to live in. Until then the HR-V will likely remain lost among a sea of other more interesting subcompact SUVs. As far as design goes, the car has definitely matured over its predecessor and sports a much more substantial and upmarket feel. But it also doesn't break any new ground in our eyes. It's ... safe.

Which HR-V does Edmunds recommend?

The top EX-L model offers a lot for the money, but for the price, a base HR-V might make more sense. We recommend opting for the midlevel Sport model. It includes the standard features from the base LX and adds some notable features such as heated front seats and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning. The Sport also includes styling features like a unique grille and dark 18-inch wheels.

2024 Honda HR-V Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

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 …

GOOD SUV FOR THE PRICE

Dee, 10/06/2024

2025 Honda HR-V Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

After owning and driving the 2025 Sport Honda HRV for 3 weeks now, here is my review and comments: Comfort— The seats are firm but comfortable. However, for those with a sensitive back, the vehicle might not suit them because the HRV rides a bit rough and bumpy on uneven roads. I also purchased a lumbar support cushion, because the Sport does not have lumbar adjustment support. Room— … The HRV is roomier than I expected for its size. Perfect for a small family, running errands in town, or for taking a trip—Plenty of room, and it’s easy to get in and out of for those who like to sit higher than in a car. Gas Mileage— To date, I am getting 31.2 mpg combined. Not Bad. With that being said, I am easy on the gas pedal. Quiet: No, the car is not as quiet as it could be. It does transmit road noise into the cabin, especially if the road surface is rough. Perhaps the non sport models are quieter due to different tire and wheel configuaration. If you want quiet, then look elsewhere. Technology— It has all the technology I will ever need, or use. Honestly, I will not use every bell-and-whistle this SUV has to offer. Interior Materials— Door panels are a basic, cheap hard plastic, but then this is a utility SUV. If cheap plastic bothers you, look elsewhere. The dash board is not as hard as my previous Subaru so time will tell if the sun’s UV rays will damage the dash—I hope not. The upholstery is quality and should hold up well over a long time. I did not get the cheap leather-like vinyl. I did invest in all-weather matts and a cargo tray to protect the carpet areas. Eventually, I add front seat covers to protect the original. Mechanical— This vehicle has a well-tested and very reliable 2.0 litter non-turbo engine with a CVT trans. No, I did not purchase the AWD model as this will deliver poorer gas milage and mechanically it will be more expensive to service. Since I keep my cars for a long time, for extra security, I got the extended Honda warranty, and I am covered up to 100K anywhere in the U.S. and Mexico. I also got insurance on the wheels and tires, and the windshield (with censor camera) since these can be pretty pricy to replace. Power—There have been complaints that the HRV is underpowered. I disagree. The HRV is certainly not a MAZDA SUV or Hyundai, or KIA, but it has enough power to get the job done efficiently. Honda knows what they are doing. If the you want more power, then look elsewhere. I hope my review is objective helpful enough for someone that is considering purchasing this vehicle.

I USED to love Hondas but…..

2024 Honda HR-V Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I’ve been a loyal Honda owner since 2007. Accords, Element, CRVs and now this 24 HRV. I have never been to the service department so many times in all of my years of owning. 6 months into owning, the steering cable had to be replaced. Now a year after owning I have experienced the remote start not working properly. HVAC system doesn’t engage. Honda service says “it’s fine”. It’s not! …
