The 2023 Honda HR-V was fully redesigned this year and with it comes a long list of characteristics that help the Honda entry-level SUV stand out from the competition. Here we take a look at five elements of the new 2023 Honda HR-V that are sure to meet all of your needs and exceed your expectations.
Powertrain
It starts under the hood where the 2023 Honda HR-V features an impressive 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. This impressive powertrain provides 17 extra horsepower and 11 pound-feet of torque extra compared to the previous generation of the HR-V. This powertrain is paired with a standard continuously variable CVT automatic gearbox that has been retuned to ensure smooth power delivery and exceptional refinement. There is also a new Step-Shift programming feature which simulates gear changes when accelerating.
The 2023 Honda HR-V is also available with an advanced real-time all-wheel drive system. This system is actually improved over the previous AWD technology found in the HR-V, as it sends even more engine torque to the rear wheels to ensure optimal balance in the most difficult conditions. The 2023 Honda HR-V is definitely more capable than ever before, and it offers new features such as a Hill Descent Control system that can keep a steady speed as you are descending, providing maximum control on the steepest of inclines.
Fuel Economy
Despite its impressive performance, the 2023 Honda HR-V is still one of the most fuel-efficient small SUVs in its class. The 2023 Honda HR-V is available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations with FWD models averaging just 9.1 L per 100 km in the city and 7.4 L per 100 km on the highway.
That said, it's the fuel economy rating of the AWD HR-V models that is even more impressive. With an average of just 9.4 L per 100 km in the city and 7.8 L per 100 km on the highway, the 2023 Honda HR-V with all-wheel drive averages just 8.7 L per 100 km. That means that you are not compromising on efficiency to enjoy the added stability of all-wheel drive.
The 2023 Honda HR-V also features a range of driving modes including an ECON mode which makes driving more efficiently a lot easier. There is also a Snow mode help you get through difficult conditions.
Interior Space
Interior space has always been a highlight of the Honda HR-V. The new model takes things even further with a larger cargo area that can hold 691 L behind the second row, or 1,559 L when you fold the rear seats down flat. What is even more impressive about this cargo area is that it is just under 700 mm high, or 70 cm. That's less than a metre and it makes loading and unloading the cargo area a lot easier. The interior of the 2023 HR-V has also been significantly upgraded. The rear seats are wider to easily fit three passengers and there is more room overall for the occupants. No question about it, the 2023 Honda HR-V continues to be one of the most appealing SUVs in its class when it comes to versatility.
The interior space improvements are made possible by the longer wheelbase which measures 45 extra millimetres compared to the previous generation. The HR-V is also wider. These extended lengths combine to make the HR-V even more comfortable.
Features and technology
