When can I buy the 2023 HRV?
|
The Honda HR-V is one of the top choices for the subcompact crossover SUV segment — and with a redesign for the 2023 model year, it aims to get even better. In advance of the upcoming debut of
the 2023 HR-V, Honda revealed a sneak peek teaser with a couple of wintery sketches of the crossover SUV. As this model is now available, we’ll discuss the price and specs of the redesigned 2023 Honda HR-V. The 2023 Honda HR-V is now available to build and price online. It is being sold at dealerships throughout the United States and North America. In other countries, Honda will sell a different version of the
next-generation HR-V, which is called the Vezel in some international markets. According to
Honda, the starting price of the 2023 Honda HR-V is $23,650 for the LX trim. You can select the Sport trim for $25,650 or the EX-L for $27,450 starting MSRPs. While the 2023 Honda HR-V offers a hybrid version in the European market, in the United States, all models have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which generates 158 hp. For efficiency, the HR-V has an estimated gas mileage of up to 28 combined mpg. The European-spec next-generation Honda HR-V will be powered by the same
hybrid powertrain that’s in the Honda Accord and Honda Insight. However, Honda hasn’t said whether or not it will offer a hybrid version of the HR-V in the U.S. Honda released holiday card-style wintery stretches of the redesigned 2023 HR-V. Compared to the 2022 HR-V, the front end of the 2023 HR-V is more aggressive and has a more distinctive lower fascia. The grille of the 2023 HR-V features an S-shaped mesh pattern. Also, the hood is lower, and the headlights have a boxier shape. For the back of the 2023 HR-V, the redesigned crossover slopes down more steeply compared to the 2022 model. Also, the taillights are more curved, while the lower portion of the rear bumper features body-color styling. Additionally, relative to the European-spec version of the next-generation HR-V, the U.S.-spec 2023 HR-V appears to be larger.

OverviewHonda has given its 2023 HR-V a complete makeover, the better to combat the onslaught of desirable and stylish small SUVs that have flooded the market. The
outgoing generation was practical and offered good value but it lagged the segment's best—the
Hyundai Kona, the Kia
Seltos, and the Mazda CX-30—in almost every way. No surprise then that the new HR-V looks totally different from the outgoing model. The new HR-V shares its platform with the Civic and uses a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four from Honda's
compact sedan. Gone, sadly, is the outgoing model's trick second-row Magic Seat, which flipped down to make the HR-V one of the most flexible cargo-friendly small SUVs. But the new generation is wider and longer, which Honda claims benefits interior space. Independent rear suspension replaces the old model's torsion beam setup, a change that promises to improve ride and handling. The new model also receives updated infotainment features and more modern driver-assistance technology. Where This Vehicle RanksWhat's New for 2023?Honda's smallest crossover has been completely redesigned for the 2023 model year and goes on sale this summer. Pricing and Which One to BuyPricing for the 2023 HR-V has increased slightly over the outgoing model, and the mid-range EX trim has been dropped. Of the three remaining trims, we think the Sport makes the most sense, and we appreciate its slightly more aggressive exterior styling: it's the only trim that comes with 18-inch wheels, the largest offered. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceIn Europe, the HR-V is powered by a hybrid powertrain borrowed from the Insight and Accord but the U.S. version comes with a traditional gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder that's good for 158 horsepower. If that sounds familiar, it's because the same engine serves as the base powertrain in the Civic. The HR-V managed a 9.4-second launch to 60 mph during our acceleration testing. That's over a full second slower than the more powerful non-turbo Mazda CX-30 and two-tenths slower than the 147-hp Hyundai Kona. In the HR-V, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder feels lethargic and gutless, but since the SUV shares its platform with the Civic, we could see a 180-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter or a hybrid powertrain join the lineup down the road. For now, front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) are the standard arrangement but all-wheel drive is available as an option on all trims. The outgoing HR-V didn't deliver the quiet athleticism we expect of Hondas, but this new generation corrects that with a chassis inherited from the spry Civic. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGFuel economy estimates are highest on front-wheel-drive models, which are rated at 26 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Going with all-wheel drive drops the city rating to 25 mpg and the highway rating to 30 mpg. During our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route the HR-V beat its EPA estimate by 2 mpg. And we managed 440 miles of highway driving on a single tank of gas. For more information about the HR-V's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and CargoThe HR-V adopts a more modern interior design inspired by the redesigned Civic's; it's both classic and attractive. The front seats are comfortable and supportive while providing a wide range of adjustments. The outgoing model offered Honda's novel second-row Magic Seat, which allows the rear bench to flip and fold to create an especially low, flat floor. That feature helped the HR-V lead the segment in cargo capacity despite its diminutive size. Unfortunately, the new HR-V has abandoned that feature, but Honda claims that the new model's cargo bay is larger and that lift-over height has been reduced to aid with loading heavy items. Infotainment and ConnectivityAll models come with either a 7.0- or 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; the larger display offers wireless connectivity for those features, but it's limited to the top EX-L trim. Also standard on the EX-L is a wireless smartphone charging pad. We also expect to see features such as SiriusXM satellite radio, in-dash navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, at least as options. Safety and Driver-Assistance FeaturesHonda offers a host of driver-assistance technologies on the HR-V, including an adaptive cruise control system and a lane-keeping feature. For more information about the HR-V's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:
Warranty and Maintenance CoverageHonda's standard warranty package is fairly basic, and rival SUVs such as the Kona and Seltos come with much longer coverage plans. Buyers of the Toyota C-HR will find a two-year complimentary maintenance plan, but Honda offers no such perk.

What is the difference between the 2022 and 2023 Honda HRV?In 2022, the Honda HR-V is outfitted with a 1.8-liter, 141-horsepower engine. A continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive are included, and all-wheel drive is optional for all trim levels. If you opt for the 2023 HR-V, your crossover will draw 158 horsepower from a 2.0-liter engine.
