What the Critics Say

Honda did a great job of putting the money where it counts with the HR-V interior. All the touch points are soft or cushioned, and the controls feel like they have a nice quality to them. Aesthetically this is also a big step up from the previous car and a strong showing relative to the rest of the class.” – Edmunds
As expected from a vehicle this size, the HR-V is easy to pilot in tight quarters, and it has deft maneuverability. It’s surprisingly sporty through turns, with well-controlled body movements and strong braking performance. A pampering ride rounds out this crossover’s solid driving dynamics.” – U.S. News & World Report
