Performance

This first thing we’d like to get out of the way is this SUV’s ability to produce a 26/32/28 MPG city/hwy/combined¹ fuel economy rating. This can be attributed to the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, which exudes 158 horsepower² and 138 lb.-ft. of torque³. This is then utilized in tandem with a Continuously Variable Transmission with Sport Mode, giving you access to athletic acceleration that is sure to wow your guests and onlookers alike. If you’d like to ensure that your traction atop Route 101 goes uncontested as well, then we strongly recommend springing for the optional Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ as well. 

Cabin

The interior of the 2025 Honda HR-V Sport is one that aims to please around every corner. For instance, it comes with heated front seats so that you can stay warm in the face of a particularly chilly day. An automatic climate control system is also present, and it will maintain a consistent preset temperature to further aid you in staying comfortable. The steering wheel and shift knob also come with a leather trim on the sport, giving it a more upscale look that your passengers are sure to compliment. And if you ever have the need to store luggage, simply fold down the rear seats to achieve 55.1 cubic ft. of maximum cargo volume⁴. 

Safety

To help keep you and your loved ones safe, the Sport trim of the Honda HR-V elevates your level of protection with amenities such as the Blind Spot Information System⁵. This item in particular will keep you in the know about any surprises that may come your way. Alongside this is the Collision Mitigation Braking System™⁶, which will halt your vehicle’s movement to prevent any frontward impacts. And if you need help keeping within your intended section of the street, allowing the Lane Keeping Assist System⁷ will aid in accomplishing this. Let’s not forget about the Driver Attention Monitor, which will let you know when your focus on the road begins to wane.
