2025 Honda HR-V LX

The 2025 HR-V is Honda's smallest SUV, slotting below the CR-V and offering subcompact practicality with a compact-car footprint. It competes with the Toyota Corolla Cross, Kia Seltos, and Mazda CX-30, all vying for the same budget-conscious buyers. The engine is smooth but modest, so expect steady, unhurried acceleration rather than any sporty urgency. The ride is composed and absorbent around town, though highway cruising brings some road noise into the cabin. The HR-V's rear Magic Seat folds flat and flips up for tall cargo, making the small SUV surprisingly versatile. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a 7-inch touchscreen set the LX apart from the base model below it. The 2.0L I4 makes 158 horsepower through a CVT, which keeps the HR-V smooth and efficient around town.
