What’s New for 2025?
Almost nothing is new for the 2025 model year — except for a price increase of $800 on all three HR-V trims. Blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert were previously optional on the mid-line Sport and line-topping EX-L, but they become standard for 2025.
Trim Levels and Pricing
The HR-V’s trim levels (LX, Sport and EX-L) carry over for 2025. All-wheel drive is available on every trim for an additional $1,500. Pricing is as follows (all prices include $1,350 destination charge):
- LX: $26,750
- Sport: $28,850
- EX-L: $30,850
The HR-V’s regular-line paint colors are Crystal Black Pearl, Lunar Silver Metallic, Milano Red and Modern Steel Metallic. Nordic Forest Pearl, Platinum White Pearl and Urban Gray Pearl are premium colors that cost $455 extra. Some colors are available only on select trims.
Powertrain Specs and MPG
The HR-V’s sole engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 158 horsepower and 138 pounds-feet of torque; it is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. EPA fuel-economy estimates are 26/32/28 mpg city/highway/combined with standard front-wheel drive and 25/30/27 mpg with AWD.
Tech Features
The HR-V comes standard with an 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, three USB ports, and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The EX-L’s upgrades include a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, a wireless charging pad, dual-zone climate control and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The 2025 HR-V comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistance features. It includes adaptive cruise control with low-speed following, lane departure steering assist, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian and bicyclist detection. The Sport and EX-L add a standard blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert, and the EX-L gets standard front and rear parking sensors — a rare feature among subcompact SUVs.
The HR-V was last tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for model-year 2024. It earned the Top Safety Pick+ award with top ratings in most crashworthiness tests, along with acceptable ratings for headlights and child-seat Latch anchor ease of use. A 2023 HR-V did well in our Car Seat Check, scoring three A ratings and two Bs for rear-facing convertible seat and booster-seat fitment.
Should You Buy a 2024 or 2025 Honda HR-V?
There likely aren’t many 2024 HR-Vs still on dealer lots, but if you can find one in your vicinity, you can save some money compared to an essentially identical 2025 model. We’ve evaluated the current-generation HR-V in both a stand-alone road test and multi-vehicle comparison against five other affordable small SUVs. We appreciate its crisp handling, visibility, clever cabin-storage spots and overall interior quality but are disappointed by its weak acceleration, noisy engine, dated infotainment-system graphics and so-so fuel economy for a subcompact SUV.
