2023 Honda HR-V Sport & EX-L - Redline: First Look

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

With the #Honda Fit no longer in the lineup, the #HondaHRV is now the entry-level vehicle in Honda's US lineup. For 2023, the all-new 2nd generation #HRV moves upmarket thanks to riding on the same global platform as the new Civic. The result is an HR-V that is nearly 9" longer than the previous generation and a more sophisticated suspension, along with a more powerful 2.0L i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine. The new HR-V is heading to dealers now and expect a full driving video in a couple weeks.

    I got to drive one on Friday as my dealership just got our demo unit. It's not for sale by the way, but we have it just for people to try out. This thing is a huge upgrade. My only gripe is not having rear vents. I agree with another poster here that I feel like this was intentional as Honda loves to intentionally exclude some things and fix it with a mid refresh. Frustrating, but I am still pumped about this vehicle as it is so far ahead of the previous generation HRV that my mind is simply blown.

    It's good looking, but the 2.0L turbocharged engine or a hybrid powertrain is definitely needed to compete against the corolla cross. Both would make good commuter cars if you live in a city, but some more power and good mpg are what buyers want these days. I would like to see a subcompact Acura version, maybe as a plug in hybrid.

    I honestly like the new design. My question is what will current HR-V owners do when they update? Maybe they'll stick with the HR-V, or maybe they'll switch brands. The drop in fuel economy is definitely noticeable, but the increase in size could definitely attract a lot of growing families/people who just need more room than the old one. This is a great size, very comparable to older CR-Vs. I feel like this will definitely be a good direction for this car. They'll lose some loyal supporters of the original design, but people like me who would have never thought of the old one might end up taking a second glance at this one. For me, it's night and day.

That being b/c the EX trim on the Honda Civic is more horse power, as well as better fuel economy. But the look of the new HRV and the space it provides along with trunk cargo space, is just amazing. I just wish it had more horse power and more features like the competition.

    Nice upgrades for the interior. Exterior is fine. Don’t love it or hate it. The weird back seat center console area with indents for what they’re not giving you is a head scratcher. Given that they apparently update this vehicle every 7 years, a 7 inch screen on a mid level trim Sport will not age well, but it looks nice otherwise. The overall size increase seems positive to me but when you could go up to a compact SUV and get better mileage with more power this doesn’t make much sense unless you need or want a smaller vehicle. The rear headroom seems limited like the old one and completely dependent on an aggressive carve out which has its limits in forward head movement, etc. Honda seems to like the aggressive carve outs for headroom. Most of all I completely don’t understand why they’re not offering a hybrid out of the gate. They missed a big opportunity and with gas prices as they are it’s compounded. We’ve been big Honda fans in the past and maybe the CRV will be a better implementation overall.

    IMO, they need to offer a Sun and Sound package on the sport. So you can get the screen and sunroof. Since the vehicle is almost the same size as the CRV, they should’ve made the 1.5 Turbo standard on the sport and EX-L trims. Most people don’t want a slow car anymore and would pay the extra. Definitely would try to get a sport model if those two things were available.

    It looks good, but I’m surprised by the lack of efficiency in the design, especially since Hondas usually have very efficient designs. For example, let’s compare this to the previous generation Hyundai Tucson. The 2023 HRV is 3 inches longer, yet has at best equal rear leg room, while having a considerably smaller cargo area than the Tucson (under 25 cubic feet vs 31 for the Tucson). Why does it feel like this is taking a step back in space efficiency? Is it that Honda needed to take some of the space to add more safety features, such as thicker door panels? Someone mentioned that the hood is long for improved forward collision crumple zone.

    Few things I can see are improving in Honda's design: - No gawking looking exhaust vents, great. Why need to follow most others with big and maybe fake vents? - Similarly the front design is sensible without those gawking grills like some makes. - The aircon direction controls are so much more cohesive instead of the awkward looking pieces of sticks in the Civic. Hope to see more smooth and well executed designs. 👍👍👍
