2020 Honda HR-V Review
from the Cars.com expert editorial team
What Is the 2020 Honda HR-V?
The Honda HR-V is a five-seat subcompact SUV that competes with the Chevrolet Trax, Jeep Renegade, Mazda CX-3, Nissan Kicks and others. It is related to the Honda Fit hatchback. The HR-V is powered by a 141-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that teams with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available.
What’s New on the 2020 Honda HR-V?
There are no significant changes this year.
What Features in the 2020 Honda HR-V Are Most Important?
The Honda Sensing active safety system on EX and higher trim levels is a welcome feature. So is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, which goes in all trims but the base LX. The multiposition second-row Magic Seat provides unmatched interior versatility in the subcompact SUV class. Features such as leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a power moonroof, automatic climate control, keyless access with push-button start and navigation are available.
Should I Buy the 2020 Honda HR-V?
The HR-V’s roomy, versatile cabin and large cargo area are advantages over most subcompact SUVs, and its interior quality and estimated gas mileage — especially with front-wheel drive — are additional strengths. Modest acceleration is its biggest drawback.

Most reliable car I’ve owned.
I love the sporty look with the comfort and durability it offers. It’s excellent on gas and can haul loads in the back up to 6’. The seats lift up or lay flat. Very versatile! Read full review
