This is a perfect car for me (80 yrs old, 5’1”) it is easy to get in and out, and I sit far enough from the steering wheel so I can drive with my arms in a much more comfortable position than in my 2009 Honda Civic I had before

2021 Honda HR-V review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2021 Honda HR-V?

The Honda HR-V is a five-seat subcompact SUV that competes with the Chevrolet TraxJeep RenegadeMazda CX-3 and Nissan Kicks. It’s powered by a 141-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. 

What’s New on the 2021 Honda HR-V?

The Sport trim level adds privacy glass, but there are no other significant changes. 

What Features in the 2021 Honda HR-V Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • 5-inch multimedia screen
  • Bluetooth streaming audio
  • USB port
  • Cruise control
  • 60/40-split second-row Magic Seat

Available features include:

  • Power moonroof
  • 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Heated front seats
  • Leather-trimmed seats
  • Automatic climate control
  • Push-button start
  • Honda Sensing suite of active safety features

Should I Buy the 2021 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 the HR-V’s biggest drawback.
