As an HR-V owner (2016 ex-l) I absolutely hate the new one. Everything that made it awesome is gone. Magic seats, 9 inches longer. I love my car because it s easy to parallel park, and I can throw everything in it, plus a kitchen sink. It s slow as hell, but I rarely leave town and never go over 45mph. When I do take a road trip to our second house or my sisters beach house I get 34-40mpg by just doing the speed limit. I feel Honda lost it s mojo with packaging. Most I could have ever wanted from the second gen would have been the civic s 1. 5T.

Right
Alex, The growth of interior space and accommodation is entirely in keeping with the circumferential growth of the population our HR-V serves. I salute Honda for sending smaller versions of the HR-V to markets with smaller people but they lose marks for the mediocre mpg. BTW did the missing 'magic seat' offer as much comfort as adaptability?

9: 11 '' how to make this aera a bit more efficiently used '':
In addition to getting rid of this foam, deletation of the rear seat bottom cushion & back rest. anyway there is no magic anymore and I never take anyone in the back. Cargo rule! & flat floor. There is only this cross member of the chassis that I would like to saw off.

I d rather pay markups for this because it compensates with better looks, much better build quality and fit and finish, better materials, more space, better tech better driving dynamics and just better overall polish.
You can pay over MSRP and come out WAAAAAAY ahead of the corolla cross including the hybrid

I love Honda, but without the 1. 5T engine, this doesn't seem like a great value. I didn't buy the last HRV because the CRV was just an overall better value. A stick shift Crosstrek or Impreza hatch would be my choice if budget was in the low 20s.

Not my taste aesthetically but seems like a solid all-rounder. Still wish it had a better powertrain though, even the 1. 5T would help as I feel 138 lb-ft simply isn t enough (especially since you need to rev it to get that figure.

It's an underpowered CR-V priced like a few model years ago CR-V. Seltos with the 8 speed, even a '23 Prius especially if you don't need the 2nd row for people is a better bet or just get a lightly used CR-V.

I wanted to like this car. But the engine and fiuel economy are a BIG fail for me. It's slow as Christmas and does NOT get very good mpg. Honda should have put the 1. 5 Turbo engine in this model. Fail.

This car is way too slow and the cvt sounds like its straining in the high rpm. Maybe the Subbie or a Mazda would be more interesting. It's loud, but not so proud and just a very bland vehicle.

Disappointing that honda isnt selling any true subcompact vehicles in the US anymore. I bet the newest Fit and CUV equivalent would've sold like hot cakes when gas prices were high

I wonder if Honda s recent new models are affected by parts shortage? Lack of customization, bundled packages, limited top-trim gadgets (e. g. Accord loses 12way and ventilation seats.

The HR-V is way to slow! The HR-V and CR-V needs a range topping sports model with the a 2. 0L turbo and a normal transmission! Honda needs to bring back some fun and performance!

The fuel economy seems poor honestly my wife's much bigger gas only Honda CRV gets around 29-30 MPG all the time. Something this small should get better MPG iMO.

Sad. The 2. 0L is a deal killer. I was so hoping they would use the 1. 5L turbo. I was waiting to upgrade my 2017 Civic EX-T. The Mazda CX-30 is now my choice.
