The 2023 Honda HR-V ​is hitting the road with a long list of ​advanced safety technology this year. The new model has a sleek new look, available all-wheel drive, and a top-rate infotainment system. Read our guide to ​learn about its top features.

Fuel Efficiency

Front-wheel drive is standard, and the vehicle achieves an average of 26 miles to the gallon in the city and 32 on the highway. Upgrading to the available all-wheel drive lowers these numbers just slightly to 25 miles to the gallon in the city and 30 on the highway.

Exterior Style

The HR-V’s sleek design stands out from the crowd. The standard LX comes with 17-inch silver painted alloy wheels, body-colored door handles, and LED brake lights. The power-side mirrors are heated, a welcome addition for cold winter weather. The Sport trim level adds more flare to the styling choices, with 18-inch alloy wheels and a chrome exhaust finisher.

A Moonroof

The top-tier EX-L trim adds plenty of interior upgrades, but one of the SUV’s most noticeable features is its exclusive power moonroof. One touch of a button operates the tilt feature, providing improved airflow.

Driver Assistive Features

Honda has gone above and beyond to equip the HR-V with the most desirable safety assist features, including traffic jam assist. The system will also watch for traffic signs and send you an alert when you’ve missed a change in the speed limit. Your automatic high beam technology will adjust to reduce glare for oncoming traffic without needing assistance from you. The system also includes a road departure mitigation system, a collision braking system, and a forward collision warning.

The lane departure warning will let you know when you’re drifting out of the lane. This is paired with a lane-keeping assist system, which will steer you back within the lines when you’ve drifted. Honda’s system also comes with adaptive cruise control, helping you maintain your following distance. Your HR-V will automatically brake or accelerate to maintain the gap time you set.

An Advanced Infotainment System

A seven-inch color touchscreen display is standard for the LX and Sport trims. Your display will come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so you can easily use your favorite apps. Bluetooth technology allows the driver to make hands-free phone calls or stream their favorite playlist.

The top trim level uprates your infotainment options. You’ll enjoy a nine-inch color touchscreen with customizable feature settings. An external volume knob makes it easy to adjust settings without needing to look at the screen. The EX-L also adds a wireless phone charger, making it easy to keep your smartphone charged while you’re on the go.
