The 2025 Honda HR-V is the definitive subcompact SUV you should consider purchasing. With the 2025 HR-V, you're getting Honda's signature take on reliability, meaning you'll be better protected against various accidents than some competitors would provide you with. It's not unreasonable to see yourself driving this incredible subcompact SUV for many years, and still enjoy your time with it.
There's a magic behind the HR-V that has to be experienced to understand. With the 2025 HR-V, Honda has given an already well-rounded subcompact SUV experience another sheen, with last year's best features returning. The 2025 HR-V has every reason to be as technologically advanced as its predecessor, which, in some ways, many of its competitors haven't managed to catch up to. Honda knows SUVs, and the 2025 HR-V is a great step forward. The manufacturer has made several smart decisions with the production of the 2025 HR-V, notably keeping much of the core experience that people loved with preceding models intact.
MSRP: $25,100[a]
Horsepower: 158 hp

Performance
The 2.0L I-4 Engine
The 2025 Honda HR-V operates on a 2.0L I-4 engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The HR-V prioritizes a comfortable driving experience, with the CVT providing smooth acceleration while the engine is strong enough to get up to speed with little effort. Every 2025 HR-V model is equipped with the 2.0L I-4 engine, meaning you can purchase the base LX model and achieve the same 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque as the higher-end Sport and EX-L models. For a subcompact SUV, the powertrain makes the 2025 HR-V a capable machine for everyday travel. Compared to competing models by contemporaries like Chevy and Ford, the Honda HR-V is the perfect blend of practicality and performance.
Fuel Efficiency
The powertrain's fuel efficiency also makes the 2025 HR-V perfect for commuting. Utilizing FWD, you can get EPA-estimated ratings of 26 MPG in the city, 32 MPG on the highway, and 28 MPG combined.[b] With an AWD-equipped HR-V, there's an insignificant reduction in fuel efficiency, meaning both have excellent results. The 2025 HR-V equipped with AWD earns EPA-estimated ratings of 25 MPG in the city, 30 MPG on the highway, and 27 MPG combined.[b] A full gas tank can allow you to travel hundreds of miles on a single tank, with AWD models withstanding about 378 miles of range on a full tank and FWD models traveling around 392 miles.
Interior
Some of the 2025 HR-V's greatest strengths can be found within the interior. The cabin is overflowing with features, with more to add, depending on the trim you choose. In addition to all the amenities that promote increased comfort, entertainment, connectivity, and more, the interior of Honda's 2025 subcompact SUV, especially the higher-end EX-L, is shrouded in high-end materials that add an extra layer of sophistication and luxury.
A Comfortable, Relaxing Cabin
With the 2025 HR-V LX and Sport, you and the front passenger's seat have manual position adjustments for both the chair and head restraints. Moving up to the Sport, the front seats may look similar, but they're upgraded with heating features for those chilly mornings. One more step up to the top-end EX-L, and the front seats are given 8-way power-adjustable controls and trimmed with genuine leather.
Although the Sport doesn't come with leather seats, the steering wheel and shift knob are both wrapped in genuine leather, which not only enhances the look and feel of the interior but completes the EX-L's interior with the complementing leather seats. Purchasing the EX-L is a great way to capitalize on style, with the EX-L adding ambient lighting to your cabin, and if you're driving with a passenger next to you, both of you have access to individualized climate zones thanks to the Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System.
Cargo and Passenger Space
The 2025 HR-V seats five passengers. The LX and Sport have passenger capacities of 98.7 cu.ft., while the EX-L has 97.3 cu.ft. With the backseats in their default position, the 2025 HR-V has 24.5 cu.ft. of cargo space, but folding down the back seats gives you 55.1 cu.ft. of maximum cargo space, regardless of trim. More than double the cargo space folding down the back seats means you can occasionally carry more than you normally would with the seats up, like if you're bringing home your newly purchased flatscreen, which a sedan can't accommodate no matter how much you try.
You won't be bumping your head in the cabin of the HR-V while driving it, even if you exceed six feet in height, and the same goes for the rear row, thanks to 39.4 inches of headroom in the front row and 38 inches in the back. However, with the EX-L, front-row headroom is reduced to 38.4 inches. No other interior measurements are affected by trim selection, meaning each 2025 HR-V has 41.9 inches of front-row legroom, with 37.7 inches for passengers in the back. The 2025 HR-V also has 55.6 and 55.2 inches of shoulder room for the front and second rows, respectively, along with 54 inches of hip room for the former and 47.4 inches for the latter.
Technology
Everywhere you turn, there's a feature worth mentioning within the 2025 HR-V. The 2025 HR-V's features especially help its low price stand out amongst the crowd, which provides tech that's common with the pricier vehicles on the market, like communicative amenities, entertainment features, quality-of-life enhancements, and more. Every 2025 HR-V also has a premium set of safety features via Honda Sensing, providing a range of assistive software designed to prevent accidents from the front, back, or side.
Infotainment Screen Options
Inside the 2025 HR-V LX and Sport is a 7-inch infotainment center with digital controls. Digital instrumentation for your dashboard is also standard, with an additional 7-inch screen providing gauge information like speed, fuel, RPM, displaying check engine lights, headlight indicators, turn signals, and more. With the EX-L, the regular infotainment center is switched over to a 9-inch screen and physical volume knobs, providing more precision to your inputs and are considered easier to access compared to touchscreen controls for some while driving.
Audio Systems
The 2025 HR-V LX plays back audio through a quad-speaker system on 180W of power, with the Sport adding two more speakers, turning it into a 6-speaker audio system. Similarly, two more speakers are implemented with the EX-L, meaning the 2025 HR-V EX-L has an 8-speaker audio solution. The music you listen to on your trip can stem from many sources – the EX-L has SiriusXM support and HD Radio streaming capabilities, to name a couple.
Connectivity
Your favorite songs, playlists, artists, and podcasts are only a few presses away by linking your smartphone to the 2025 HR-V's infotainment center. Linking your smartphone enables features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, depending on your cell phone's manufacturer, and stepping up to the EX-L trim gives you the wireless variants of these two life-changing pieces of software. Every 2025 HR-V comes with one USB-A port on the front console, which you'll plug your phone into to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto if you don't have the wireless solution built in. Two USB-C ports are located in the center console for charging-specific purposes, but the EX-L has you covered again with a tetherless solution: a standard wireless phone charging pad.
Safety
An assortment of Honda's most highly advanced safety and driver assistance features ever conceived by the manufacturer are present in the 2025 HR-V, courtesy of the Honda Sensing suite. Even the base model LX receives these standard features at no additional cost, aside from a few features reserved for the EX-L.
Honda Sensing
With Honda Sensing, each 2025 HR-V is treated to amenities like the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS.) With FCW, the 2025 HR-V is designed to signal warnings if you're approaching another driver too quickly and must apply the brakes—a great assist feature to avoid front-end collisions with another car. However, the 2025 HR-V goes one step beyond, with the standard CMBS methodically applying braking pressure to the vehicle if you don't sufficiently do so. By automatically providing braking pressure, it furthers the chances of avoiding an accident, like a fender bender.
Honda Sensing as the standard safety suite for the 2025 HR-V means that buyers of Honda's subcompact SUV get features like Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS.) Your 2025 HR-V will always have a proverbial set of eyes on the road. If the HR-V detects you're crossing another lane, even intentionally without a turn signal, the vehicle is designed to warn you that you're unsafely crossing street markings. With LKAS, the 2025 HR-V assists in gently veering you back to a safe distance between lanes.
Some other features that greatly help your overall safety and well-being on the road include the Auto High-Beam Headlights, the Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR), and Adaptive Cruise Control. Adaptive Cruise Control helps to regulate your speed, even if that means dynamically slowing down and accelerating back up again. TSR displays passing road signs on your Driver Information Interface Screen, like speed limits, construction signs, and more.
Other Available Features
If you purchase the EX-L, more safety features head your way, like parking sensors for the front and rear end of the car, and if you buy either the Sport or EX-L, you get the Blind Spot Information System (BSI) with Cross Traffic Monitor. With the BSI system, you'll know whether or not it's safe to change lanes, thanks to flashing indicators on your side-view mirrors. However, you should still look over your shoulder and use it as an assistive feature. The Cross Traffic Monitor helps you reverse out of a parking space and assists in location and avoiding rear-end collisions with an unforeseen bypassing vehicle or pedestrian.
