Arriving with no significant changes for 2024, the Honda HR-V continues to lure younger buyers looking for a small SUV that’s easy on gas, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, and will hold its value over time.
While Honda likes to point out that the HR-V is the most popular choice among first-time and Gen Z buyers, the HR-V is perfect for buyers of all ages, including empty nesters looking to downsize.
The HR-V comes in three trims: LX, Sport, and EX-L. All employ the same 158-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that sends power to the front wheels. All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional on every trim.
Competitors abound for the Honda HR-V. Varying rivals include the Toyota Corolla Cross, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trax, and Mazda CX-30.

What’s New:
Some early production Sport and EX-L models may see the blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert feature offered as an optional package. Although listed as standard on both trims, supply chain issues have forced Honda to provide a $550 credit or the option to pay full price and have the systems added by the dealer later. Besides a slight price increase this year, the 2024 Honda HR-V arrives nearly identical to last year’s model.

2024 Honda HR-V LX: $24,100 (FWD), $25,600 (AWD)
If you’re a frequent Honda buyer, you know the LX is the least expensive trim in the brand’s lineup. In the past, buying an LX meant getting a bare-bones vehicle. But that’s no longer the case.
The LX story starts with safety, or more precisely, the Honda Sensing suite of standard driver assist systems. Forward collision warning with pedestrian detection is a welcome feature, as are automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow.
Traffic Jam Assist combines lane-keeping with adaptive cruise control, allowing the car to steer, brake, and accelerate in low-speed bumper-to-bumper traffic. Traffic Sign Recognition posts an icon in the cluster detailing the posted speed limit.
Automatic high-beam headlights, a rear-seat reminder, a multi-angle rearview camera, and rear-seat side-impact airbags are unexpected in a base model but always welcome.
Standard Hill Descent Control maintains a low speed when descending steep hills, while Hill Start Assist keeps the HR-V from rolling forward or backward when stopped on a steep incline.
Moving to the exterior, we again find a roster of features uncommon on a base model. They include auto on/off LED headlights, a color-keyed rear spoiler, and a reverse-linked rear wiper that activates while backing up when the front wipers are turned on.
Additional exterior elements include power side mirrors, 17-inch silver-painted wheels, remote keyless entry, and LED taillights.
Moving to the cabin, the LX again surprises with automatic climate control, a push-button starter, and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with integrated cruise, Bluetooth, and audio controls.
Handsome cloth-covered seats include a manually height-adjustable driver’s seat and a 60/40-split folding rear seat. Also standard is an auto up/down driver’s window, power door locks, and sliding sun visors with vanity mirrors.
A 7-inch driver information screen mimics an analog speedometer and tachometer. It can also be configured to provide a digital speedometer or information regarding the adaptive cruise control, Traffic Sign Recognition system, and other pertinent information.
The LX’s infotainment system comprises a 180-watt, 4-speaker audio system hooked to a 7-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with HondaLink apps. You also get active noise cancellation to help quiet the cabin.
Missing from the system is the option for SiriusXM satellite radio. The only trim that offers it is the most expensive EX-L. However, you can stream the service using CarPlay or Auto if you have the app on your phone.
Charging and connectivity come from three USB-A ports, with two charge ports in the center console and one charge/data port in the front console.
With the $1,295 destination fee, the 2024 Honda HR-V LX costs $25,395. On a 60-month loan at 5% financing and $0 down, the monthly payment comes to $479. See 2024 Honda HR-V LX models for sale near you
