The 2026 Honda HR-V is a compact crossover SUV with fun driving dynamics and impressive fuel economy. It also boasts a quiet and comfortable interior that will keep you relaxed throughout the journey.

5 Highlights of the 2026 Honda HR-V

Spirited Performance

The new HR-V is available in three trim levels, which are all powered by a 2.0L inline-4 engine with a net output of 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. That’s plenty of power for dashing through town on your morning commutes while also enjoying road-gripping traction in most driving conditions.

A continuously variable transmission boasts smooth shifting performance and, thanks to the three selectable drive modes, it provides fuel economy ratings of up to 28 miles per gallon combined with the standard front-wheel drive.

Available Real Time AWD

While the standard setup provides impressive traction in most driving conditions, you can tune your ride for off-roading with the available Real Time AWD. Honda’s advanced all-wheel drive system adds a rear differential to the base layout and uses different sensors to monitor the driving conditions. These features allow the system to sense when traction is lost and engage the rear wheels instantly for enhanced vehicle control in challenging situations.

Comfortable Interior

The 2026 HR-V has sporty performance and an athletic exterior design, while the interior provides upscale comfort. Active noise technology is standard, allowing you to enjoy quiet, relaxing rides. The cabin is also spacious and comes with an adjustable driver’s seat and a practical 60/40 split-folding rear bench. Available features include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and leather-trimmed seating surfaces.

Advanced Technologies

Each trim level of the new HR-V comes equipped with a 9-inch infotainment system that includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, Bluetooth phone control and audio streaming, and compatibility with the HondaLink services.

A Qi-compatible wireless charger is also standard and pairs with a variety of USB ports and power outlets. A 180-watt audio system with four to eight speakers, depending on the trim, and speed-sensitive volume compensation deliver outstanding sound quality.

Honda Sensing Driver Assistance

To keep you worry-free behind the wheel, Honda also equips this SUV with the Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance technology. This package incldues a wide range of anti-collision and lane management systems, as well as parking assistance for added convenience.
