Honda HR-V Review & Ultimate Buyers Guide, Price, Features & Lots More

The front of the HR-V gives you a striking and purposeful car. For instance, its bold grille integrates really well with its sleek LED headlights, giving you a commanding presence on the road as a result.

Its sculpted bonnet and clean lines then flow naturally, creating a look that’s both refined and aggressive simultaneously.

Moving to the side, the HR-V’s aerodynamic silhouette is very nice to look at here.

For instance, its clean contours and well-defined character lines really do a good job of improving its modern look while giving a hint of dynamic performance that lies below as it does so.

Its then slightly raised side stance also adds a sense of strength to the car's appearance, as well as we thought.

Your alloy wheel options give you a standout feature as well and are also available in several eye-catching designs and finishes.

For example, their stylish yet very functional design complements the overall aesthetic really well while giving you a smooth, confident ride as a result.

So, whether you are parked or on the move, they really add a lot to your HR-V’s look as a result.

For instance, here you can get 1 of 2 options, consisting of:

• Alloy Wheel 18 inch alloy wheels HR1811

  The 18″ HR1811 comes in full Gunpowder Black with a shiny clear coat. Also available as a winter wheel.

• Alloy Wheel 18 inch alloy wheels HR1812

  The 18″ HR1812 features a diamond cut A-surface with shiny clear coat Gunpowder Black windows.

Looking at the car's roofline next, here you get a sloping roofline that is designed really well to fit in with the rest of the car - adding a balance between its sportiness and practicality as a result.

For instance, it not only adds to the HR-V's stylish overall appearance but also maintains a spacious feel for your passengers as it does so.

Its optional panoramic sunroof will also help to give you a much greater sense of openness, as it lets your passengers enjoy the sky above as much as the road ahead, as well as letting light flood the cabin at the same time.

Moving to the rear of the HR-V, this is as impressive as the front, with its sharp LED rear lights and clean, uncluttered design.

Here it also has a slightly flared rear bumper, which also adds to its sporty character, while its hidden exhaust pipes keep the rear look clean and premium as well.

For your HR-V’s colour palette, this is another area where it shines, as it offers you a wide range of very vibrant options here.

From timeless classics like Platinum White Pearl to bold choices like Premium Sunlight White Pearl or Sand Khaki Pearl, there really is a shade to suit every taste and personality.

Each finish is also crafted to improve the car's stylish lines as well, giving it a look that is stunning in any light due to this.

For example, here you have:

• Platinum White Pearl
• Premium Crystal Red Metallic
• Meteoroid Grey Metallic
• Premium Sunlight White Pearl
• Crystal Black Pearl
• Sand Khaki Pearl
• Premium Sunlight White Pearl (Two-Tone with Black Roof)
• Sand Khaki Pearl (Two-Tone with Black Roof)
• Crystal Black Pearl (Two-Tone with Silver Roof)
• Midnight Blue Beam Metallic (Two-Tone with Silver Roof)
• Meteoroid Grey Metallic (Two-Tone with Black Roof)

The front seats are then particularly noteworthy, as these give you very supportive seating options, both the driver's seat and the front passenger seat - which are ideal for long drives especially.

Then, when combined with plenty of adjustable options, you can easily find your ideal seating position, while the passenger seat also gives your passengers an equally comfortable ride as well.

So, whether you are navigating city streets or you are on the motorway, the HR-V’s front seats give you a plush yet firm ride every time.

Moving to the back seats, your rear passengers here will be pleasantly surprised by the generous legroom and headroom on offer, even for taller individuals.

This is due to Honda's innovative "Magic Seat" system, as the rear seats can fold in multiple configurations when you also need to carry larger or more awkwardly shaped cargo.

Consequently, this flexibility, in our opinion, really does a good job of transforming the HR-V’s rear seating area into a multipurpose space that’s perfect for your family outings or active lifestyles alike.

For your boot space, you do get a lot here, offering you more than enough room for your groceries, luggage, or even outdoor gear.

For instance, here you are looking at 304 litres to 319 Litres with the rear seats up, going up to 1,274 litres to 1,289 Litres, depending on the model and trim you decide to buy, with the rear seat area laid flat.

Moving on to its technology, here it comes with a lot. For example the Honda HR-V really does give you a lot of thoughtful features designed to improve your driving experience really well.

From keyless entry to advanced climate controls, every feature really helps you to improve your daily commute.

For instance, some of these consist of:

This is then combined well with its high-quality audio, which does a good job at giving you a really good audio experience while giving you very crisp sound for you to listen to your podcasts or playlists as well.

As you are buying an SUV here, you get the benefit of an high-up driving position, which gives you that commanding driving position on the road as well as excellent visibility of the road ahead as it does so.

The stylish, horizontal dashboard design also creates a modern and focused space, allowing you to keep your attention on the road ahead as a result.

With its intuitive infotainment screen, the layout also easily removes unnecessary clutter while giving you a contemporary style, which is also very functional as it does so.

The available wireless charging pad then adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing your journey to remain uninterrupted.

So, whether you are commuting or exploring country roads the HR-V will keep you connected, entertained, and in control every mile of the way, as a result.

For your upholstery options, you also have several options depending on the trim level you go for to choose from here, including, for instance:

• Black Fabric
• Black Fabric and Synthetic Leather Upholstery
• Light Grey Synthetic Leather and Fabric
• Premium Classic Grain Leather and Alston

Which is perfect for quick acceleration from a stop, using just the electric motors.

Which combines the petrol engine and electric motors together to give you an impressive balance of power and fuel efficiency as a result.

Which is ideal for higher speeds, where the petrol engine takes over while any extra energy is stored in the battery for later use.

For a lively, responsive drive.

Which gives you a good combination of a smooth and balanced ride.

This helps you maximise your fuel efficiency and save even more by reducing your running costs at the pump.

So, no matter which mode you pick, the e:HEV self-charging hybrid system will work to take you further by adapting things such as its weight and responsiveness of the accelerator pedal, while being gentler on both the environment and your wallet as it does so.
