The 2023 Honda HR-V Gets a Complete Makeover and More Interior Space
The 2023 Honda HR-V has undergone a complete makeover to keep up with the increasingly competitive small SUV market, and it’s more appealing than ever.
The all-new HR-V shares its platform with the Civic and boasts a more powerful engine and offers more interior space. It also offers an improved ride and handling due to its independent rear suspension. The 2023 HR-V starts at $25,095, slightly higher than the outgoing model, and the mid-range EX trim has been discontinued. If you want to know if the 2023 HR-V is worth your next ride, buckle up and read on.
Engine and Performance
Built on the same platform as the Civic, the new HR-V is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four engine from Honda's compact sedan, producing 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that provides smooth and responsive shifting. The HR-V also comes standard with front-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is available on all trims.
Fuel economy is impressive, with the HR-V achieving an EPA-estimated 31 mpg combined for front-wheel-drive models and 30 mpg combined for all-wheel-drive models. This makes the HR-V one of the most fuel-efficient options in its class.

Interior and Convenience
The new HR-V is wider and longer than its predecessor, providing more interior space for passengers and cargo. The rear seat legroom has increased by 2.9 inches, while cargo space has increased by 2.9 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded down, the HR-V offers up to 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space.
The cabin is well-designed with high-quality materials and intuitive controls. The seats are comfortable, and the driver's seat has a six-way power adjustment, while the passenger seat has a four-way power adjustment. The rear seats have a 60/40 split-folding feature, which allows for a flexible cargo area.
Safety and Security
The 2022 model of the HR-V has received the 2022 IIHS Safety Pick+ Award, so you might expect the 2023 model to be equipped with award-winning driver-assistance features. The 2023 HR-V comes standard with Honda Sensing®, a suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies designed to help keep you safe on the road. The suite includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
In addition, all HR-V trims come equipped with front and rear parking sensors, which make it easier to park in tight spaces. Heated side mirrors and a blind-spot information system are also available on select trims.
Infotainment and Connectivity
You can equip the HR-V with a 7.0- or 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. The system is easy to use and responsive, with clear graphics and fast processing times.
Other tech features include a six-speaker audio system, a rearview camera, and a digital gauge cluster. Higher trims offer additional features like a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a wireless charging pad, and a premium eight-speaker audio system.
Why You Should Buy the 2023 HR-V
The 2023 Honda HR-V is a complete makeover that packs a punch. With a more powerful engine, a bigger interior, and modern driver-assistance technology, the HR-V is well-equipped to compete in the crowded small SUV market. Its spacious and well-designed interior, combined with its impressive fuel economy, make the HR-V an excellent choice for buyers looking for a practical and versatile vehicle. For a more aggressive styling, pick the HR-V Sport trim.
