So, what’s new with the 2024 HR-V? Well, last year, Honda introduced a brand-new model, and this year, we see some minor tweaks in trim and feature content. The powertrain and styling remain unchanged. However, the 2024 model does bring in some tech wizardry, like Hill Descent Control and driver assistance features, which are now available on different trims compared to last year.

Performance-wise, all HR-Vs are equipped with a traditional 2.0L four-cylinder engine, delivering a solid 158 horsepower and 138 lb.-ft of torque. You can choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, both paired with a continuously variable transmission.

When it comes to fuel efficiency, front-wheel drive HR-Vs shine with an expected combined city and highway fuel economy of 8.3 L/100km. If you opt for all-wheel drive, the number increases only slightly to 8.7 L/100km.

Safety is a top priority for the HR-V. It has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest honour, the Top Safety Pick+ rating, thanks to stellar results in all crashworthiness tests. The standard front crash prevention system also received ‘superior’ ratings in vehicle-to-vehicle avoidance and daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian avoidance tests.

When it comes to reliability, it’s no surprise that Honda ranks high in the world of Consumer Reports. The HR-V continues this tradition, securing the 4th position out of 11 competitors, mainly due to its comfort and fuel economy.

The interior of the HR-V underwent a significant upgrade in 2023, transforming into a place you’d genuinely enjoy during your commute. The controls are straightforward and effective, with climate dials that feel much more luxurious than you’d expect from a vehicle in this price range. The 7″ colour touchscreen is your portal to the centralized system that controls your settings and the loads of tech features in the HR-V. And, if you choose the available 9″ colour touchscreen, you’ll also get features like the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™* with bilingual Voice Recognition.

In terms of dimensions, the 2024 HR-V boasts an overall length of 4,568 mm, a height of 1,620 mm, and a width of 1,840 mm. Both front- and all-wheel drive models share a ground clearance of 177 mm (6.9 inches), providing ample space for driver and passenger without any feeling of intrusion.

Without a doubt, the 2024 Honda HR-V is more than just a subcompact crossover; it’s a testament to Honda’s commitment to providing dependable, comfortable, and safe vehicles. It combines practicality with a touch of luxury, making it an excellent choice if you’re looking to navigate the urban jungle or escape to the great outdoors.
