Best HR-V review I have seen to date.

very impressive review. Looking into buying this model soon!

thank you! your review pushed our decision over the top. Its fits exactly what we are looking for

This is a really good video! Especially the test drive part. Many others are tough on the power of the engine. I felt this was honest, without insulting the pickup. Thank you!

I just purchased a 2024 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD, (Modern Steel Dark Gray Metallic/Black Leather) and love it! I just wish Honda had more color choices for the HR-V's! As well as the engine had more power!

Very honest comprehensive review, diplomatically presented. 😊

Bought it in Crystal Black Pearl EX-L edition today. I love the car and have not experienced the power and speed issues everyone is talking about. It was able to go to 60mph on the highway quickly and I got it up to 80mph fast.

I picked Hr-v after watching this video. Thanks!

It's June 2024. I know some people like the top of the line EX-L, but the enthusiast minded like myself still prefer the Sport. Though the acceleration is not the best, the 2.0L is a lot more durable, with longevity compared to the problematic 1.5L turbo. There's two aftermarket items that can improve performance and throttle response. But Honda is coming out with the Civic Hybrids very soon. Ptobably with the same 2.0L putting out 200 hp and 232 ft/lbs torque in the latest Accord and CR-V. If Honda adds an HR-V Sport Touring Hybrid l, that would be great.

I had 8200 equity in my 20 Fit EX. I had a 19 accord touring hybrid I had to sell in my divorce. I wanted a accord ex for 23. My car insurance was going to go up by 445 for 6 months. The Civic was 440 more over 6 months. The lowest at 235 more was the HRV. Accords and Civics are stolen more and very expensive to repair. I bought a 24 HRV EXL blind spot just on the cheaper insurance. I paid 29K, no mark ups, put 2K more down. My Fit was 330. My HRV is 342 a month. I financed 20500. Don’t over pay for a car or insurance. I really wanted another accord but not paying that more for insurance.

Great 👍🏼 review #Honda 🏁

Just got one and upgraded from 22 civic - it’s the same acceleration as a civic sport 2022 due to same horsepower and engine. These people comparing have never test driven this car. Y’all have no idea what you’re talking about it accelerates perfectly fine, it’s not a damn race car. It’s a mini tank that is safe and reliable which is what most people look for in a car- go get the type R if you’re complaining about acceleration and HP lol - and older Honda may have been more power but the new 4 cylinders are so good and efficient they use less power compared to older Hondas. 😂

with this being bigger do you really need a crv?

Apr 12, 2024. I have had mine one week. What can I say. The car I replaced was a Mini Cooper. Some dumb ass ran his truck right into my Mini Cooper, at a 90° angle near the drivers door hinge, going about 35 MPH. My car was totaled. I could tell right off driving this car was wonderful compared to the Mini Cooper. You could not talk to your passenger because of all the tire and road noise, in that car. For this type of car, and the price, it was the difference of night and day. Dave in Sierra Vista AZ

Insane Honda HR-V!

blind spot monitoring should be standard on all levels especially in 2024 Is there a cover for the back?

Someday, I buy the new 2024 Honda HR-V.

Reading reviews Heard about back window shattering or suddenly stops while driving

Why isn’t there a hybrid model here in the US?

I wish he emphasized lumbar support in driver seat. Otherwise, he sold me on the HRV EXL and EXL Honda civic. Still trying to decide.

could you technically engine swap or tune this car to make it fast?

why i feel they upgrade backwards??

I'll take an Urban Grey Pearl FWD Sport over the EX-L, despite the extra options. No Bose stereo, I don't like the sunroof unless I want everything else, like if I got a Civic Sport Touring Hatchback. I preferred the reliable manual adjust seats and everything the Sport has. I live in Honolulu, HI, so I don't need the extra cost and slower acceleration of the AWD. Equipped with all the factory options and accessories I want, it comes out to about $30K. The Sport I believe has slightly stiffer suspension and steering, plus the bigger, wider wheels and tires. If I don't like what body roll it has, I would get the slightly lowered and stiffer Eibach springs. The HR-V does have all LED lighting, including the reverse and rear signal lights, exterior mirror turn signal, two cargo hatch lights and two rear ceiling touch capacitive LED lights Honda specifically chose this reliable N/A 2.0L engine for its target consumer demographic. Many complain about the lack of power, but often equate that to acceleration. This is a compact SUV for the masses who want an alternative to the Civic, is is not a Sport oriented top trim model like a Sport Touring, which the could release in the future, or an Si. But there are two $300 aftermarket options. A flash tune from K Tuner, and a plug and play Pedal Commander to improve throttle response control, with lots of variable settings and can be easily installed and removed. It's hard to beat the ride/steering feel and quality co pared to its competitors, especially since it has independent rear suspension. All the talk about the Civic and HR-V lacking things other cars have for less do not have the quality, reliability, durability and especially longevity the Civic and HR-V has, especially with this engine. They could make a Sport Touring or SI, but it would be a cost factor up to the corporate and marketing people to decide feasibility. Except for those looking for a Sport Touring Trim like the Civic Hatchback, the three trims address the mainarket groups that would want this vehicle. I have a long list of things I already will add after the OEM options and accessories to make it perfect for what I need and want.

I have a 2014 crv which isn’t a power machine by any means. So this would probably work

Give me all the goodiessss features from civic touring to hrv pleaseeee

I hope HRV 2025 will be better with much much engine (S) power…. We need a new hybrid versions…. Hello please it’s 2025…. We need more hybrid vehicles…cool dude cool video…

It’s actually a really practical smart investment. Particularly if you’re buying one as a first car for a son or daughter, or even your wife.😊

This car is the cutest in its class but not the best because of the power train and price.

3:35, this vehicle does have full LED head lights and tail lights, so you said that wrong I believe, otherwise a great video and I like your narrative.

We need a better HRV hybrid with better engine power…. Please Honda made a better HRV hybrid and better features … better Torque, etc, etc, … cool video…

The HRV does have LED headlights.

We have a 2018 EX-L-Navi and a 2024 EX-L and love them both, but they're not powerful at all. The newer one is noticeably better but compared to the 4 cylinder 2012 and 2003 Accords we have, they're both horrible. I know everyone tries to say the power is adequate but come on, let's be honest, it's awful. In a future model if Honda puts a 2.4 liter engine with a REAL transmission, they will fly off the dealer's lots. I'll sell ours and upgrade for sure. But for now, excluding the power, everything in the EX-L is perfect. It's a really well put together vehicle.

I have a 2020 Sport trim which is a pretty decent vehicle except for the engine which is underpowered. Even though the new model has the more powerful Civic engine it's still underpowered. Don't know what the hell Honda was thinking on this one.

They are thinking about trying to maintain overall quality levels at a price point . To move up … you go to the CRV Hybrid . Which is quite expensive . To get a higher performance small SUV … go German or Lexus . Honda knows their market . Of course a bit more power is always welcome . But it always costs . I find with Hondas that enough power is there if you put your foot down . These are not sports cars .

It’s still underpowered vehicle…. We need a better versions… cool video…

I disagree. This vehicle definitely rivals top contenders for the cheap and disposable vehicle look.

Sluggish CVT , put a 6 or 8 speed auto in this vehicle.........

Damn the HRV in the US is really ugly huh

Cvt.. no, no!!!

Why so WORDY. Is this a review. Or is it an essay. Cut the crap. Tell us about the car.

The HR-V is worst in class with engine, fuel economy and technology. Honda matches that with cheap interiors, uncomfortable seats that feel like cloth on cardboard. The HR-V isn’t even a worthy daily driver. The poor styling and knockoff Ford Escape look it carries. It’s just a terrible overpriced sub compact.
