What's New
With no mechanical or trim revisions, the only change to report on HR-V models for the 2024 model year is another price increase. Otherwise, it’s business as usual for this three-trim range, with a solitary engine and gearbox combination.
Choosing Your Honda HR-V
Your only choices in terms of HR-V ownership relate to the three trim levels and the option of adding AWD for $1,500. Prices start at $25,395 for a front-wheel-drive LX, with Sport models retailing at $26,945; $28,945 is enough to secure an EX-L model.
Engine Choices
The HR-V is powered by a two-liter gas engine, producing 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, fed to the front wheels through a CVT transmission. AWD is optional on every trim.
The FWD HR-V returns an EPA-estimated 26 miles per gallon city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 combined. AWD models drop slightly to 25/30/27 respectively.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Fuel Economy (City/Highway/Combined) |
2.0-liter | 158 hp | 138 lb-ft | 26/32/28 mpg (FWD), 25/30/27 mpg (AWD) |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
Cargo capacity for the five-seater HR-V stands at 24.4 cu ft with the rear seats in place, and 55.1 cu ft once they’re dropped.
Safety Features
It’s to Honda’s credit that every HR-V receives the same level of active and passive safety kit. The former extends to brakeforce distribution, forward collision warning with collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, and lane departure warnings. Passive safety includes ten airbags, while driver assistance tech encompasses lane-keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and auto high beams.
Connectivity
Unlike safety, there are pronounced differences between the three trims in terms of infotainment. LX models make do with a four-speaker stereo, whereas Sport buyers receive six speakers and EX-L models are equipped with eight. Flagship HR-Vs are the only ones with satellite or HD radio, wireless device charging, and a nine-inch touchscreen. While every trim boasts smartphone mirroring, EX-L is unique in providing it wirelessly. LX and Sport are equipped with a disappointing seven-inch touchscreen, but they do get a variety of USB and 12V ports throughout the cabin.
2024 Honda HR-V LX – MSRP from $25,395
The most affordable HR-V is generously equipped, with power side mirrors, automatic LED headlights, and remote keyless entry. A seven-inch digital information screen joins adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition on the list of driver aids, while the cabin receives automatic climate and push-button start.
No packages are offered on the LX trim.
2024 Honda HR-V Sport – MSRP from $26,945
The only HR-V to ride on 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels, Sport models are distinguished by rear privacy glass, a chrome exhaust finisher, and gloss black side mirrors. Inside, you’ll find power windows with one-touch up/down, a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel facing onto contrasting orange seat stitching, heated front seats, and an upgraded speaker setup.
Other than paying $550 to add blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alerts, there are no packages on Sport models.
2024 Honda HR-V EX-L – MSRP from $28,945
The price increase over Sport models is more than justified by front and rear parking sensors, a power tilt-and-slide moonroof, dual-zone climate, and ambient LED lighting. This is the only HR-V with leather seating (including eight-way power adjustment for the driver), wireless device charging, satellite/HD radio, and a nine-inch touchscreen controlling the eight-speaker audio system.
Blind-spot monitoring is the only upgrade offered to EX-L buyers.

Unless you’re on a strict budget, it’s worth upgrading to EX-L trim for the added features it brings compared to Sport models, especially, considering the relatively modest price hike.
