Well, i bought my 2018 HRV new, it is now 2021. Last winter we had huge amounts of snow in my area. My HRV did much better than i had expected. I was able to go any place i wanted to when most other vehicles were stranded in their driveways or on the side if the roads. No regrets on getting my HRV, also still getting 30 mpg. Just a little update.

For the brake hold you dont actually have to press it every time you come to a stop, you just have to leave it on and it will engage when you stop and disengage as soon as you hit the gas pedal!

I got this car 2 months ago, HR-V Ex (no nav) & love it! Since I live in snow country, AWD helps a lot too. I was looking at Mazda CX-5 but I could buy HR-V brand new for the price of used CX-5 & very happy with my purchase.

The HRV might just surprise you, it did me.

Bruh! So many videos, I'm loving this! Perfect timing for the long weekend,

I wish there was a "rallie" version of this car, with the 300 HP turbo-4 from the civic type R and a proper 6 speed manual. With all wheel drive and less weight, it should be faster in a straight line than the Civic, and maybe as quick in less than ideal roads. Dream car material.

If only they let real car enthusiasts design cars

The two-wheel-drive (FWD) HR-V has more ground clearance than the AWD. Disengaging the traction control helps offroad, but make no mistake, this Honda HR-V AWD is an ON-road vehicle.

The LX gives you an other 1.5" of front headroom (without the moonroof).

Haha! Nice cover up about the camera! :P And thanks for the review!

Can you please do a review on the 2016 CRV?

I like them both, but the HRV gets way better MPG.

Only had my new HRV for a few weeks, but so far I like it. The engine with cvt has plenty of power for me. It seems very solid built, very quiet inside while driving. Looking forward to see how it does on snow covered roads in the rural area I live in. Cargo space is amazing. What is not to like?

The CVT on the hrv I think actually benefits it obviously helps with mpg a lot if you drive careful also feels like it gives plenty of responsiveness to pass

can you plz make a review on 2017 C-HR

these cars never go in those conditions - usually to soccer practice, the mall, then back home.

Very powerful indeed if you are not an aggressive driver.

Does sport mode make a difference? Is the awd front wheel biased?

Hey Jason! I own the Japanese varient of this car called the Honda Vezel. My car has a 1.5l engine coupled to a 7 speed DCT and a Hybrid Electric motor. I don't know if it's available in the USA but it has some good acceleration compared to what you've experienced here partly due to the electric motor which manages to push you back to your seat. Try and see if you can find a Hybrid HR-V and see if you can do a review. Cheers mate! :)

Awesome!!!

How do you guys get these car brand new to test

car engineers have to explain why they keep putting the automatic shifter on the floor. use the dashboard or steering column for the shifter. create more space in a tiny vehicle.

The First Gen CR-V was SLOW, and can you say it is the same SLOW as the First Gen? When you say Clearance you are saying 8.0 inch or 8.1 inch. It is not a 4x4. When you Went from 40 to a dead stop ABS skipped skidded sounded like it was skipping. When you went Off road is it just like the CRV. And to me this is such a under sized engine but yet a excellent economy car. Power is not everything

The Juke should learn form this in its next iteration~

i drove this in Denver co,and at a mile high it is under powered, a 2.0 or a turbo would be nice.... I wasn't to sure about the awd system, I wonder how it would do in deep wet heavy snow!!!

if its under powered then why doesnt honda put that 1.5 turbo engine in it?

cjk247 the brought this outdated Japanese Vezel to the America as HRV. Horrible choice as the 1.8 previous Civic motor lacks of power. But Honda always play their games, I believe they will eventually put 1.5 turbo at the end of this first gen HRV to boost sales.

No offense but should you have take the clearance height into consideration when deciding to test this off road. I would never use this vehicle off road and if I lived in an area where I had to, then I would get a vehicle with the clearance height of the Outlander Sport or a vehicle that is as high or higher.

USFanLovesMinHo ... the purpose of the event was to test these vehicles off-road. As in, Honda provided the car, journalists test it.

I so upset with Hyundai sonada only 10 yr with 140k transmission and so many things broke. Already gave to junk yard. keeping my 18 yr old 264k Honda accord still running strong plus my 2016 hr-v . Sister got 2007 Honda fit since new165k had just replaced 4 coils and sparkplugs.

So I'll play the Devil's advocate, you didn't compare it against the Fiat 500x, but you did compare to its sister car the Jeep Renegade it seems unfair to automatically discount it as a contender. Just sayin

CVT should have a sport mode that rev's faster IMO. Why not ya know?

+forrest225 it does, as well as paddle shifters, set it to S instead of D and it will hold the RPM better, still, a little underpowered, but I think when the update comes in a couple years, it would likely have the 2.0 or 1.5 Turbo from the civic

If you want to play the radio without running the motor, press the start button once without pressing the brake. The motor wont start unless the brake pedal is pushed in. Pressing the start button twice will activate all the electronics that are available as if the motor is running. Pressing the start button again will turn everything off. I hold in the brake pedal, tap the start button and put on my seat belt while the motor is starting, no need to hold the start button in.

I'm really disappointed in Honda. As a long-time owner (1st Civic, Accords, Fit), I've admired their classic 'Germanic' styling. In recent years their styling is deteriorating into arbitrary swoops, creases and useless gimgaws. Gone are the simple, clean lines. Gone is the consistent inside/outside look. Ironic that their vehicles look more Korean while Korean cars are looking more Japanese. Soichiro Honda would spin in his grave to see this evolution to Form over Function!
