Honda HR-V FAQs

• Is the Honda HR-V being discontinued?

  You may have heard word that Honda is discontinuing production of the HR-V in certain overseas markets such as the UK, however, to the delight of Australian motorists, the HR-V is an ever-present figure down under and also better than ever courtesy of a new MY release. Keep an eye out for a bigger refresh in the near-future, as well as the prospect of an all-electric variant down the track as Honda intends to phase out internal combustion engines across its vehicle line-up due to growing emissions standards.

• What is the difference between Honda HR-V and CR-V?

  Both highly-rated vehicles, it largely comes down to size and engine performance when comparing the Honda HR-V and CR-V SUVs. The CR-V is a mid-size crossover with more room for passengers and cargo, although the compact crossover HR-V still beats most of the peers in its segment for roominess and comfort. While the HR-V is not offered with a turbo engine, that option is available to buyers of the CR-V, meaning the larger model has more grunt and pulling power that favours it in adventure settings. Of course, the HR-V is more affordable, while still possessing most of the CR-V features and comforts, making it a great choice for smaller families in urban settings.

• Is the Honda HR-V a good car?

  Honda's most popular car in Australia, the HR-V has resonated with buyers of small SUVs who value a generous serving of equipment as standard. One area the HR-V does exceptionally well is creating an inviting and spacious atmosphere inside the cabin, complemented by advanced safety tech and ample storage. The versatility of 'Magic' rear seats adds another layer of practicality that small families will appreciate. The HR-V might not have off-road AWD credentials like the Hyundai Kona and Subaru XV, nor the turbo 'punch' of the Toyota CH-R, but for a delicate balance of value, performance, comfort and amenity, you'll never look back.
