Is the Honda HR-V All-Wheel Drive?

A common question from SUV shoppers is: Is the Honda HR-V all-wheel drive (AWD)? The answer is yes. The Honda HR-V is available with AWD, but it comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD).

Honda HR-V Drivetrain Options

Standard: Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) – more fuel-efficient, ideal for city and highway driving.
Available: Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ – automatically distributes power to the rear wheels when needed, improving traction in snow, rain, or uneven terrain.

Why AWD Matters in Montana

For drivers in areas like Kalispell, Missoula, and Spokane, AWD is a major benefit. Snowy winters, icy roads, and mountain adventures demand extra grip and stability. With Honda’s AWD system, you get peace of mind without sacrificing fuel efficiency.

Driving Confidence with Honda Sensing®

Beyond AWD, the HR-V comes with Honda Sensing® safety technologies, including:

Collision Mitigation Braking System™
Road Departure Mitigation System
Lane Keeping Assist System
Adaptive Cruise Control

Together with AWD, these features make the HR-V a capable and safe choice for Montana drivers.

AWD vs. 4WD: What’s the Difference?

It’s important to note that the HR-V uses AWD and not the traditional 4WD. AWD is always engaged when necessary, making it seamless and efficient, while 4WD is designed more for off-road use. For most everyday drivers, AWD is the better fit.
