General nameplate overview

Unscoped catalog background, not specifications for a particular year or trim. Review status is unknown except for the assertions cited below.

The Honda HR-V is the entry point to Honda's SUV range in the United States. The nameplate arrived here for the 2016 model year as a Fit-based subcompact crossover built in Celaya, Mexico, powered by a 1.8-litre SOHC i-VTEC four and offered with front- or all-wheel drive. Its signature feature was the Fit's Magic Seat, whose second-row cushions fold up against the seatbacks to swallow tall items.

For the 2023 model year Honda replaced that car in North America with a completely different vehicle that keeps the HR-V name. Built on the eleventh-generation Civic's Honda Architecture platform and assembled in Celaya, it is 9.4 inches longer and 2.6 inches wider than its predecessor, uses a 2.0-litre DOHC engine with a fully independent multi-link rear suspension, and makes the Honda Sensing driver-assistance suite standard on every trim. Outside North America and China the same vehicle is sold as the Honda ZR-V, while a smaller Fit-based model continues to wear the HR-V badge elsewhere — so global HR-V specifications do not describe the U.S. car from 2023 onward.
