2026 Honda HR-V SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's HR-V. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Honda HR-V crossover SUV is available in three trim levels: LX, Sport and EX-L. All models are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (158 horsepower, 138 lb-ft of torque) connected to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. Keep reading for our rundown of the HR-V's notable features.

LX
The entry-level LX starts you off with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights with automatic high-beam assist
  • Push-button start
  • Single-zone automatic climate control
  • Height-adjustable driver's seat
  • Four-speaker audio system
  • 7-inch touchscreen
  • Three USB ports
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Every HR-V comes with several advanced driver aids, including:

  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the HR-V and the car in front)
  • Road sign assistance (detects certain road signs and displays them on the instrument panel)

Sport
Upgrades the HR-V with:

  • 18-inch gloss-black wheels
  • Remote start
  • Distinctive grille
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Keyless entry
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Heated front seats
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

EX-L
The most well-equipped HR-V comes with the Sport's equipment, minus that trim's styling upgrades. It also has:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Sunroof
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Leather upholstery
  • 9-inch center touchscreen
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Parking sensors with low-speed automatic braking (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking and can apply the brakes to prevent a collision)

There aren't any optional feature packages for the HR-V besides protection and styling packages. For a distinct look, the LX and EX-L trims offer bronze and black 17-inch wheels.

Which HR-V trim does Edmunds recommend?

Honda hasn't released official information on the 2026 HR-V as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's HR-V, we like the Sport trim. It comes with the base model's standard features but adds nice upgrades such as keyless entry, heated front seats, a six-speaker sound system and blind-spot warning. Larger gloss-black wheels and a unique grille also give it an extra dash of style.
