2023 Honda HR-V Pricing, Features, and Full Specs Revealed

Honda has revealed the 2023 HR-V in full and provided pricing and specifications.It shares its platform with the Civic and uses the same 158-hp 2.0-liter inline-four engine.The new HR-V starts at $24,895 and will arrive at dealerships starting this week.

Just as it is scheduled to start arriving at dealerships, Honda has released lots more details on the new 2023 HR-V including pricing, engine specs, and features. We also now know that the new model is significantly larger than before, inching closer to the compact CR-V and becoming one of the biggest entrants in the subcompact-crossover segment. Starting at $24,895 and ranging up to $30,195 for a loaded model, the new HR-V is slightly more expensive than before.

While the previous model shared its underpinnings with the since discontinued Fit hatchback, the new HR-V rides on the same platform as the 11th-generation Civic. Its wheelbase grows by 1.7 inches and it’s a whopping 9.4 inches longer than before, making it just 2.3 inches shorter than the CR-V (a new CR-V is coming for 2023, however, that may grow as well). Cargo volume hasn’t changed all that much, though, with 24 cubic feet of space behind the rear seat and 55 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Unfortunately, the previous HR-V’s highly configurable folding rear seat, which allowed for the bottom cushions to fold up for taller items, is no more, although the seats do still fold flat.

The HR-V’s standard powertrain, a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four, is shared with the Civic sedan and hatchback. It produces 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque—better than the old HR-V’s 141-hp 1.8-liter engine but just average numbers by the standards of this segment. A continuously variable automatic transmission is the only transmission choice, and front-wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive a $1500 option.

Interior upgrades include a standard 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster and newer infotainment software for both the standard 7.0-inch center screen and the optional 9.0-inch screen. The clean dashboard design is similar to the Civic’s, with a mesh covering for the air vents that stretches across the center stack and passenger side. There’s a new drive mode selector with Normal, Sport, and Eco settings, and hill-descent control is standard across the board despite the HR-V’s lack of any real off-road pretensions.

Honda claims EPA combined fuel-economy ratings of either 27 mpg or 28 mpg depending on configuration—that’s a bit worse than the outgoing model, which earns combined ratings of 28–30 mpg. Although Honda sells a different version of the HR-V in Europe that comes standard with a hybrid powertrain, we don’t think a hybrid variant of the HR-V is on its way to the U.S. Honda has only talked about upcoming hybrid variants of the redesigned CR-V and Accord along with a new Civic hybrid to replace the Insight.

Trim levels include LX, Sport, and EX-L, with the Sport ($26,895) getting 18-inch wheels and black exterior trim to differentiate itself visually. The EX-L, starting at $28,695, features a leather interior and the larger touchscreen, among other features. 2023 HR-V models will start arriving at Honda dealerships this month.
