For someone like me who’s into enthusiasts’ cars, this HR-V is a win-win product. Sure, it doesn’t have the turbo nor the engaging driving experience to spice things up but it does have pretty much what we need for a safe and decent mode of transportation.
I love my 2023 HRV AWD LX . It has plenty of power for me. It is a very luxurious feeling and looking vehicle, even at the LX trim, it still had the necessary important safety features. And the cloth seats are very very comfortable. I absolutely love it ❤
Good info. What's your MPG?
Love my new 2024 Honda HRV EX L Navi in the urban gray colour!🥰
I honestly have no problem with the power it has. Sure it’s no race car but gradually it picks up speed and on the interstate you can be doing 80 to 90 mph before you even realize it. I’m glad it doesn’t have a turbo in it one less thing to break. I’m getting 33 mpg city driving and upper 40’s cruising down the hwy 55to 60 mph. Absolutely love my sport trim 2023 Honda HRV. It does have a sport mode btw that’s what the S stands for on the gear shifter and it programs quicker throttle and cvt transmission response….
good info. Do you have AWD?
I wanted a 23 Accord EX last year as I was trading my 20 Fit EX with 8200 equity. In Texas, my insurance was going up 445.00 in my 6 months. A Civic was 440.00 more on insurance. The lowest increase was 235.00 on the 24 HRV EXL. I refused to pay almost 300 a month for insurance on the Accord. I got the 24 HRV EXL. My insurance is 229 a month. My payment is 342. I paid 29,000 MSRP and financed 20,500 for the HRV. I’m paying extra principal so in 10 months I’m down to 11,800. I’m glad I didn’t get the 1.5 turbo Accord as they have the oil dilution and blown head gasket issues. I’m glad I have the plain 4 cylinder engine. Accords and Civics are stolen a lot and expensive to repair.check the insurance before you buy a car. Some are less than others.
It's interesting to me that Honda offers the HR-V to U.S. customers with one engine choice, whereas the Civic (its platform mate) and the CR-V (its larger sibling) both offer two engine choices, with the Civic soon gaining a third option in the hybrid powertrain. If Honda already sells every HR-V it can make, there may not be a business case for an engine upgrade now, but I predict a mid-cycle refresh with either a second engine option or a more powerful base engine, not unlike what Toyota is doing with its Corolla Cross Hybrid.
I have a feeling that a hybrid will be offered eventually in the HR-V. I could be wrong though.
I just bought this exact vehicle! I absolutely love it!
The power and CVT would be fine to live with if it did better in the MPG department. While also not that quick, I found the Corolla Cross’s drive train a little more responsive and peppier with even better MPGs.
Hi, from Japan!! Thank you for the fun film as usual. It is called “ZR-V” in here Japan somehow. More kinds of power train you can choose in Japan. Like 2L engine with e-HEV. The engine makes 141PS of power and 182Nm of torque. The motor makes 184PS of power and 315Nm of torque. You would like it more because of the dynamics. The price is around $40K, though. ZR-V’s grill is kind of different from the HR-V. ZR-V adapts vertical lines grill. I cannot find any other differences. Haha.
interesting
I thought the same thing when I saw the center console shape, arm rests shape, the feel of the mechanical parts, and... on the cloth interior version the design totally looks like its from 1992. This does have that throw back kind of vibe. I love it! I wish there was a 2.5 turbo AWD option. I'd be ordering it today!
I love the simplicity of this class of vehicle and not super heavy. Okay, it's a slow pig of a vehicle, but for us real enthusiasts that's the fun part...driving a slow car fast!
Uh yeeeah.. there are surely markups on this 2023 Honda HRV!
Why is the hood so long for a transverse 4 cylinder
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video but I'm looking forward to seeing the honda prologue as I require something bigger but I am patient
To answer the question in the intro, the CR-V exists to get the engine option that doesn't suck....whereas this Nordic Forest is pining for the fjords.
When Honda puts a hybrid in this car, maybe it will be a real option.
hahaha
Will be getting the 2024, I put a deposit hold on one,, going to be similar,, just about the same, but definitely an upgrade from what I currently drive.
Obsessed with this color
Honda, please bring the Fit back to the US Market!
3:36 Background pile of snow 4 foot high, or an icy mountain 12,000 feet high, nicely ambiguous as you talk about Norway colors.
Good review guys.
It's OK to me. The "above rear view" going down the road is a nice touch ! I am going to check my phone HP now.😄
I've owned almost all Honda vehicles, Civic, Accord, Accord Crosstour, Pilot, Odyssey, CRV and recently I just got a 2024 and I love it! For a small car the feel it's awesome. 🙂 MPG combined it's 29 mpg, not bad. Not as good as the Accord with the 1.5L w/turbo which gave me up to 44 mpg on highway and between 36 to 38 mpg combined.
You guys just convinced me to get this new HR-V with the top spec Mazda CX-30 Package😀
Got one at sticker a few weeks ago, I got a sport and realistically exl will cost close to 35-40 after taxes and fees depending on what state and what kind of Honda dealers you’d have around you. Some will charge over msrp. Luckily got one for msrp. Had to wait MONTHS. I LOVE this car. Having AWD everything. Also have a 2015 si and I could say this thing corners just as good
good info. What's your MPG?
Yes i got the sport as well, they also try to tack on a fee because of availability so watch out for that. Mine was just under 30k
@@namvet1968 28smpg
This was my first time watching one of your videos. You two are quite hilarious!! Thank you so much for this informative and very humorous review!
Glad you found us and enjoy what we do, thank you!
I just purchased a 2024 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD, (Modern Steel Dark Gray Metallic, with Black Leather interior) and love it! Hey Honda... I just wish there were more color choices for the HR-V EX-L. No Blue, (dark or royal colors) no Red, (Burgundy or Cherry colors), no Green, (lite or rich Forest colors) in the "metallic finishes". Only Black, Dark Gray, Silver, White, Red and a flat, (not pretty) Green color.... boring! Oh well, there is always next year models.
I wish they offered an optional 2.4NA or a 1.5T, apart from the standard 2.0NA.
Look up the dimensions of the 2011 CRV. Almost exactly the same as the current HRV. We are just moving up the size ladder. Eventually the CRV will be the size of the passport, and the pilot will have 4 rows.😊
Yikes
I agree with you, we had a 2010 CRV and are actually considering this new HRV because of the size.
It has some previously (17-22) crv mixed in with some current civic architecture. The 23 crv is more robust and upscale
Sounds like the perfect vehicle for your high school/college student. No speed racer activities with that car. 🙂
We bought for our daughter but she hasn't been able to drive it. The steering sticks and HOnda keeps giving us the run around about fixing it. Now we find out a lot of people are having problems with the back window shattering and Honda is fighting about fixing that too.
@@bobs1130 Disappointing to hear about this problem and how the dealership treated you. I've owned 8 Hondas since the early 1980's and I had been pleased with the cars and the service (although last month I did purchase a different brand, since the Honda's were too expensive and wouldn't negotiate.) I see the complaint you are talking about that someone posted. "Rack and pinion failing. Jerky and hard steering. I took it in to Honda and they told me it was the rack and pinion and the part wouldn’t be in until may 2023. They continued to have me drive it and told me it was safe to drive."
Size wise it reminds me like the earlier generations of the CR-Vs, I wonder what it actually is compared to them. Definitely preferred the styling of the prior generation HR-V, it also had more distinct spot in the lineup as a sub-compact CUV instead of Honda now having a swath of similarly sized compacts. Seems like Toyota is doing the same thing by replacing the CH-R with the Corolla Cross
Honda just has the best transmisson, they can find power even under microscope. I was totally blow away with the 9 speed in 2017 accord 4 cylinder.... That car has less then 200hp but pulls like no body's business for American highway driving. I think the eHEV version will be a killer combo for this car once it's avaliable.
They are sold before their built because Honda has zero inventory
My sister lives in Vancouver and she bought the honda CRV hybrid because of gasoline prices are 35 cents more/litre than Ontario
What's her MPG?
It would be perfect if it had the 1.5L turbo motor or hybrid option.
NO. 2.0 with turbo
@@LuisMaldunadus Okay HR-V Type R 😂
As far as engine power: at the lower trim levels, yes, it's "adequate," but for just-over $30k, it really needs either a turbo or - better yet - the more-powerful hybrid system the Civic will soon be getting.
But that would deter sales from people looking for reliability; one of the hrv strengths is its simple, 4 cylinder engine
I have a 2020 Sport trim, and this looks better in every way especially the interior. Even though they updated to the Civic engine it's still underpowered in my opinion.
Perforated seats?! Yeeessss
I'd love to see the European (still Fit derived) HRV hybrid sold alongside this HRV in North America.
Low horsepower with a CVT and it gets 30mpg on the highway? No thank you.
The engine is a multi-port fuel injection, thus no direct injection and gunked-up carboned engines. No turbo = less to go wrong. This is good. But what of the seats? If driving 500 miles, what will your butt and back feel like? Subaru CrossTrek adds AWD and better seating on all levels available. Subaru safety.
Will Honda even put the 1.5 turbo in this HRV?
This vehicle is coming to Australia late in 2023. It will be available with the 1.5 turbo from the CRV or a hybrid power train. This is a very rare occasion where us aussies actually get the better options. Usually the US spec is superior to ours.
No power then no power and ending with needs more power!
More Power BABY!!
I would only consider it if it was a hybrid, Toyota corolla cross hybrid is coming..
Too bad about the CVT. If the could get 15-20 hp more, and 90% of torque from around 2000-2500 rpm, and then mate it to a 5 or 6 speed stick, it could be a reasonably peppy vehicle that lasts 20-30 years.
where can I buy a jacket like yours?
looking to replace my RD1 1st gen CRV. Not sure what, I'm looking at everything from Crosstrek, CRV, Rav4 hybrid, Carolla Cross Hybrid, Forester, maybe I should take a look at this HRV. Is this CVT built in house from honda? Its not a Jatco one is it?
Honda builds their own transmissions
@@GLsJAwtomatica thanks for the heads up, I want to learn more from their in house cvt's like if they're like toyota's ecvt with a mechanical 1st gear or similar. Those have been very reliable I hear.
@@Snafu2346 just change the transmission fluid every 25k Miles or so and you'll be good to go
It desparately needs the 1.5T engine. However, that would pull sales from the CR-V. So...
For me living in Dallas, I can drive..I dont like speed to much and I just want a reliable vehicle and hondas last..I higly doubt this will be my last car i will ever buy..Im single with no kids but can i afford a porsche yes lol but id rather not buy one right now so i will see how this drives
It just needs a 6 speed manual and then it would at least feel fun to drive.
Never mind the Honda. The highway chase drone shots (?) are breaking my brain, living as I do in a state where trying to shoot like that on a public road might get me tossed in the clink.
Those aren’t drone shots. It’s done with a pole mounted 360 cam. Thanks for watching and glad they played for you!
That HR-V has the exact same amount of steering feel as that new Porsche that paul thought had steering feel 😭
Paul fell for the cabin-speaker-exhaust sound notes of the EPAS world 😭
Porsche steering programmers:1 paul:0
CX30 please 😊
@Daniel Gross We did a CX30 a couple of years ago. Here's the link:
ruclips.net/video/NjORgvz_iEk/видео.html
Looks more like a station wagon than a crossover.
The rearlights are not great design (they are too big and bad shape), similar to Civic sedan. They should take cue from Civic hatchback and Accord sedan rearlights.
Interior okish, except for gear stick should be smaller or by-wire.
Probably US will get the e-hev version also at some point, if Civic e-hev gets good feedback
Maybe it's just the video, but the engine sounds really buzzy
My PT cruiser has more torque. For the price why would you choose this over a cx-5, forester, rav4 etc?
All those options are a price point above more in the 35,000 range. This compares to the Corolla cross , cross trek and cx- 30. I looked at all those and the Kona , Tiguan , kicks , escape , trail blazer and eclipse I really liked the Hondas reliability factor not having a turbo that is super simple to work on when the warranty is over with. Also the interior is the most spacious in its class like they said more of a mid size feel. It also has great visibility hardly any blind spots. Most of the competition really lacked in this category. Ultimately I felt the hrv was the best Cross of reliability, functionality and safety.
We need a better HRV version with more horsepower and Hybrid system…
Was looking at these for my daughter. The cup holder location killed it. It is all the way up front, just under the climate system knobs. There isn't much room for larger cups up there. Maybe a McDonalds medium cup. Everyone has the larger stainless steel cups. You aren't using them in this HR-V.
Timing belt or chain?
Chain
Honda gives the market another anonymous bubble for the phone-gawking masses. Sadly Paul is right. Well sells! Gotta wonder though, what do HR-V shoppers in the south think of the snow "mode"? 🤔
The hard driver's seat isn't really a great endorsement..
The front overhang is too much.
Bro I work at a Honda dealership , we cannot keep this things in stock
Half of the stuff that comes off the truck is pre sold already
so many fools buying an overpriced and extremely slow Honda? According to several reviewers, it takes 13 seconds to do zero to 60 in the 2023 HRV.
@@braetonwilson4296 yeah bro , zero to 60 is definitely a priority in that type of product
I believe you. Im interested in a sport awd & my local dealer said he's having a hard time getting one for me to test drive.
@@richardmarino2732 at my dealer we are taking deposits on incoming units , if for any reason you want your deposit back we give it to you because the car is going to sell regardless.
Ask if they can do that for you and pick the exact trim and color that you want and when the car gets there test drive it
No turbo, not worth the price increase and drop in reliability.
The 2023 HR-V has the most reliable engine design Honda makes , no turbo ,no direct injection . this engine will be running long after turbo and DGI has put you in the poor house
@@keithbennett1359 I totally agree I’m just iffy on the cvt only time will tell on that front. Coming from a 23 hrv owner.
Can someone help me with this question ?
I have a 2023 HRV SPORT - and just passed 1,300 miles.
- I received a notice on the odometer saying that it needed maintenance- (?)
Why??? I haven’t even hit 2,000 miles yet.
Any suggestions,, help,,,, would be greatly appreciated (before I call the dealership).
Thanks all , in advance 👍🏼
looks like a ford escape
Oh so this is like a Ford escape, but reliable!
HR-V, or a 2020 CR-V for less than $30k.
Extremely underpowered car. You realize the problem on freeway while merging or changing the lane. Expect people honked at you at stop sign
It's underpowered just like the ICE version of Corolla Cross. Don't get it.
But it drives better with better engagement and transmission. But yes, still underpowered.
According to TheTopher, it took him almost 13 seconds to do zero to 60 in the 2023 HRV. That's unacceptable! When it's fully loaded with people and cargo, it will take 15 seconds! This new HRV is just too darn big and heavy for that weak engine.
He did that on a curved uphill road, the real time is 9.8 seconds.
Still really slow but it’s not that bad
Just make an AWD civic for crying out loud PLEASE Honda
Why , just get this !
The nordic forrest has tall slender blonde women hiking , and you can share a coffee with them and change your life....
im a gay man, are there men hiking there too?
This is too long and wide to be compact.
Its design is very feminine.
Yeah every other Honda release has been very angular and bold, this is the opposite
Tired of talk about power. Its either enough or just wont make it to highway speed in time. You can quit with the on and on about an economy car without the problems of a turbo. Rant over.
thes the problem about this car. too bland. you will get bored after six months.
It’s ugly guys it looks like a shoe a pair of Converse
horrible design
Honda stole Ford's design. This HR-V look like a Ford Escape, the Accord look like a Ford Taurus, and the CR-V Look like a Ford Explorer.
Not at all. Hands-down the WORST new car I have ever tested. AWFUL. 👎
Seats made of concrete, a suspension made of concrete, a steering rack made of concrete.
