Introducing the 2023 Honda HR-V! Basics About the 2023 Honda HR-V Powertrain Pop open the HR-V's hood, and you'll be greeted by a naturally aspirated 2.0L inline-6 engine that generates 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. At an EPA rating of up to 32 MPG highway, the powerplant boasts excellent efficiency with the help of multi-point fuel injection and Honda's Eco Assist. A continuously variable transmission sends power to the drive wheels and features Sport Mode, which sharpens throttle response. The powertrain also provides drivers with the useful Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist. Available Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control can detect a loss in front traction and responds by diverting power to the rear wheels, enabling you to stay fully in control while traveling over tricky surfaces. Chassis With its well-tuned MacPherson front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and stabilizing bars, the HR-V displays remarkable athleticism. When navigating through tight corners, the vehicle never feels hesitant, so you can feel free to push it to its limit. Direction changes are immediate and precise thanks to the well-balanced steering. Power-assisted ventilated front and solid rear brakes quickly bring the vehicle to a halt. The HR-V eagerly absorbs road bumps and provides a smooth, comfortable riding experience. Passenger Cabin Inside is a sophisticated, ultra-modern interior with a plethora of high-quality materials and amenities. Its dashboard features streamlined vehicle controls and a distinctive honeycomb mesh that houses the automatic climate system's vents. The body-stabilizing front seats offer lumbar and side support that help to reduce fatigue, even after spending hours behind the wheel. Though compact, the HR-V lets rear passengers enjoy 37.7 inches of legroom. In addition to heated seats, the EX-L model offers 8-way power-adjustability for the driver, ambient LED lighting, a wireless charging station, and premium leather upholstery with beautiful orange stitching. With the second row's 60/40 split-folding seats in their normal position, there's up to 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space. This can be expanded to 55.1 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. Infotainment and Connectivity While LX and Sport models are equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen, the EX-L comes with a 9-inch display. All of them come standard with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration, Bluetooth hands-free/streaming audio, and speed-sensitive volume compensation.
