As always great content!!! I'm really glad that your channel exists!!! I really appreciate your time and effort on keeping us informed on anything and everything about Hondas as well as Acuras vehicles. Top work!!!
I helped my mom, back in January of this year, shop around and she ended up in a ‘23 HR-V Sport. 13,000 miles so far and she had to have both headlights replaced within the first week for condensation, but otherwise flawless. I’ve driven it a few times, and while sluggish, it’s nice having the simplicity of the k20. 28 mpg average over the life of the vehicle is kinda mediocre, and the small tank means it doesn’t get much more than 300 miles per tank, which isn’t a dealbreaker, just something worth noting. Great vehicle overall and feels much more substantial than the Fit based prior gen.
@@BCautosolutionsmy wife also has a ‘23 HR-V Sport, bought last year. I took it on a road trip to Florida this past Fall. I really didn’t have any problems keeping up speed on the interstates, and no problems passing slower vehicles with that 2.0L. But if I had my druthers, and I could do my own work in it, I would swap it for a K24 and a 6 speed manual! Hey, a guy can dream, right? 😊
I love your content!!! Can you please do a video or mention the updates for 2023 on the 1.5t. I have a 23 accord LX and drive it like a grandma and run 93. I really love the car but it sucks I don't feel comfortable ever using any of the power its capable of... I am really hoping Honda updated something in regards to the head gaskets.
‘24 HRV - Little down on power but it is smooth and pleasant to drive and I’m getting 33-34 in mixed highway city just by driving normally. With A/C. Not racing, not hyper-mile-ing either. My hope is that while a little on the slower side, the motor will go farther long term than an over- stressed turbo. I do plan on servicing the CVT and I also change the engine oil on a severe service basis.
Keep up with the maintenance and it should have no problem going 200-300k. It is underpowered but once on the highway it’s pleasant to drive and very maintenance friendly.
I have a 2023 Sport. This October I will have it for 1 year. I have 27,000 miles on it. I drive 100 miles a day 95% on cruise 65 to 75mph. I'm getting 30.3 mpg. It doesn't have the best power merging but I'm totally fine with that. My only complaint is that when I get in the car after work I have to jack the seat back up. It lowers on its own, other than that 💯 ❤️ my HRV
only 30 mpg? I had a rental avalon with 3.5 v6 got 35 mpg at 75 Mph which is very impressive for 301hp. At 65-70 it went as high as 36-37 mpg. Keep in mind i got a 22 XLE avalon
Haven’t seen any of these hr-v’s come in with issues as of yet but did have some rear view cam issues with the screen in blank and white a few times with the cr-v’s. Also a weird one just came in today 24 cr-v 700 miles got a P2583-49 mm radar internal elec. failure. Hoping it’s just a fluke and not a reoccurring problem with the new radar/multipurpose cam integration.
I honestly think I might be getting a new HRV around 2025-2026 and trading in my 2018 2.0 civic. Definitely more practical being up north. My personal options for an SUV would be HRV or Passport. Passport would be nice, but overkill for my needs.
Absolutely, something to consider as well is fuel economy and substantially more maintenance required on passport (even if you can do the labor yourself 😅)
@@BCautosolutionsI just took a road trip to the Southern states a few weeks ago in my wife’s 2023 HR-V Sport (I live in Indy). Dependent on the terrain, weather conditions, or traffic, I was getting between 28 - 32 mpg hwy.
@@BCautosolutionsif I had the know-how, I would do a swap with the 2.4L i4 (K24 engine). I wish Honda would consider that engine instead for this vehicle…more power output with minimal mpg loss. 🤷🏻♂️
I'll wait until they pop the civic hybrid into it so theres a little more pep . Have you seen many that had the hatch window blowout ? Thats about the only issue I've heard so far
Yes that’s true and most people would buy this car for that exact reason. I still believe it’s the most maintenance friendly Honda to buy by far. Great car
@@BCautosolutionsmy wife got a 2023 HR-V Sport back in Oct of 2022. After a year, it has over 18K miles. I’ve only had to do two oil changes to it. Runs just fine. Reviewers tend to put alot of emphasis on 0 - 60 times, but once this vehicle gets up to highway speeds, we’ve had no problems passing slower vehicles. Hwy mpg’s are in the 32-35 range.
@@carlovanrijk4039 I don’t think anyone is buying this car for 0-60 times or to be driving aggressive out there but your right 😅. appreciate the input congrats.
true. but i did notice huge improvements when the car has less junk, no spare tyre and half tank fuel. Less weight balances lack of power. And im pretty sure i wont change tyres as the insurance covers it. Only thing that annoys me is that a 1.5 Turbo would have made things easier but they willingly choose to put 2.0 and make it tough for the car owners.
Personally I'd buy one, If it was built with a 6 speed, But I know, Nobody knows how to drive a manual, It's a shame, And WAY more fun, with these Transmission's the possibilities are More limited and will most likely be geared towards better fuel mileage instead of passing abilities, Insurance should be cheaper on these under powered Vehicles, Now of course I need to see how much it weighs to see how underpowered these Hrvs really are, But for getting to and from work etc these should serve most customers WELL, I wouldn't be afraid of it by no means, I just prefer MANUALs that's all. Peace 👍🇺🇸
Yeah don’t get me wrong for the average person and around town it’s a great vehicle but stepping out of my tlx-S and getting into this it’s painful 😅. I would still 💯 buy one as a daily.
IF you could find a Civic Sport hatchback with the manual transmission, it has the same K20 engine, weighs hundreds of pounds less than the HR-V and will accelerate and handle much better.
i had/drove one for a year, put 22k on it. Other than the high headlamp issue at the start I had zero issues. No rattles squeaks, nothing. Crap fuel economy with my time with it at an average of 9.4L/100km . Ya and its no powerhouse LOL. The stainless steel backing plates in the rear is a good start to eliminate them rotting off in a few years .
Im getting steering wheel issues, when driving down the road not sure if the steering wheel is scrapping on something but it feels like it want to get stuck, taking it to the dealership next week
@@BCautosolutions, they are replacing something to do with the rack and pinion , they order the part but it's backordered, they have no date at this time.

Good conclusion! Especially the fuel tank capacity. The most I refueled was 11.5 gallons. But it comes with a 14 gallons tank.
@@GuojiLyuI think Honda does that as a reserve in the fuel tank. So people don’t burn out the fuel pump.

Really appreciate that. I will do a 1 year update on it very soon!
No start / stop no direct injection no turbo , most likely the last of the good Honda engines

HRV is one of Hondas better offerings. Unexciting but pretty much bulletproof.
Pretty much nails it!

7.8L/100km in summer, 10L/100km with winter tires

That’s a pretty decent difference. Thanks for sharing

The whole lineup is so much better to work on vs all the previous gens. Kudos to Honda for that even tho they didn’t do it for the techs lol.
