Urban Explorer: The 2024 Honda HR-V

The 2024 Honda HR-V is an excellent daily driver if you’re on the hunt for a compact SUV. It comes with intuitive tech and a long list of standard safety features. Let’s break down why the 2024 HR-V is perfect for city drives.

Smooth Driving Dynamics

All three trim levels of the 2024 HR-V come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an output of 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. Honda’s CVT pairs with front-wheel drive to give you smooth gear shifts. The available all-wheel drive is perfect if you enjoy light off-roading. It improves the vehicle’s grip on slippery, wet, and icy roads, giving you the confidence to handle all road conditions.

Great Fuel Economy

The HR-V is economical with fuel, which is great for an everyday car. Front-wheel drive models return 28 mpg combined (26 city/32 highway). All-wheel drive models are rated for an average of 27 mpg (25 city/30 highway).

Smart Technology

A 7-inch touchscreen display sits at the center of the dash. You can sync your phone to the screen through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and stream music and podcasts or get directions. Steering wheel-mounted controls let you control audio without taking your hands off the wheel.

There’s an available 9-inch display with add-ons like SiriusXM and HD Radio, which give you more entertainment options. All models have a quality 180-watt audio system, but you will get four, six, or eight speakers depending on the trim level.

Cushy and Well-Appointed Cabin

Although the HR-V is a small SUV, it is surprisingly roomy inside. Front legroom is 41.9 inches, and rear legroom is 37.7 inches. The cargo volume is 24.4 cubic feet and up to 55.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.

Cloth seats come standard, but there are options like sports seats with orange stitching and leather-trimmed seats. Dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat, and heated front seats are all available. You can also get a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a power moonroof in higher trims.

Advanced Safety Suite

Safety is a priority for Honda, which is why all models come standard with Honda Sensing. This suite has safety features like forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, traffic jam assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Adaptive cruise control helps reduce driving fatigue on the highway and in traffic.

A standard multi-angle rearview camera gives you clear views of your surroundings when reversing. There’s an available blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert as well.
