*Thanks for watching and have an awesome day!*
The engine is not turbo charged. Which means your not going to get the oil dilution problem, as with the crv. YEA!
Nice review. I've had my 2019 HRV EX -L for just a month now. It has just 7,000 miles. I expected it to have less power than it does have after all the reviews I've seen. I had a Nissan Juke turbo before that flew. Loved it but required premium fuel and I never got more than 26.9 MPG. HRV getting 29.4 MPG without using ECO. I love the styling of it and wanted one since 2016 when they came out. This car has the best radio sound I've ever had in a car. Just my opinion. It's my last vehicle for sure as I was born in the 1950's .lol
I love my HR-V and your video is very honest but personally. I think my own car runs perfectly for me.
Would you go for a HRV or Kicks ?
@@nobody.6451 HR-V because the Kicks Does Not Offer AWD!
Just got my 2016 HRV two weeks ago. Love it so far! Totaled my 2013 Acura RDX with tech package and got the hrv. Not going to lie I miss how quiet and luxurious the RDX was.
only thing I dislike about my 2020 Honda HRV EX is acceleration, I have no issues with other stuff pointed out, does its job getting to work and back home, plus occasional off road trips.
I agree with your dislikes especially the lack of power and all touch screen options. Other than those two issues, the HR-V is a very good overall suv. Good review Nolan 👍
MoNo K thank ya! Definitely a great optional for practicality. Can’t really go wrong with it for this class 👍
I have the 2019 EX model. I really like the vehicle a lot, but overall, I agree with you on the dislikes. The power issue is a big one. I truly believe that the CVT transmission is a big cause of the power robbing issue. We have 3 Hondas and one of them is an 08 Civic with the same engine but with a traditional automatic transmission. Pick up and speed are much better then the HRV. No carpeting which I found odd, no lock on the glove box and the fan and temp switch should be reversed. Also, no rocker panel covers to keep the paint from getting scuffed and no temp gauge. Other then that, it's a nice ride.
I have a 2018 HRV Lx, and it has plenty of power for me. Also, this car makes winter snow storms not exist, the awd will go in any conditions. My HRV is way more than i had expected.
Does your hrv lx have touchscreen? I think their cute and have great storage
Thanks for this comment
I've had my 2019 HRV Sport for about 4 years now and I love it. I haven't had a single problem. I would have liked to buy another, but I do not like the new body style. :(
did you had any issue with transmission i wanna buy one
None whatsoever. I'm at 50k miles and have never had an issue. I do the scheduled maintenance and that's it.
thank you very much@@Sqeeby
Thanks for the review, Nolan. Which similarly-sized vehicles would you recommend for audiophiles?
Three bad things:
1. expensive for small SUV
2. Low torque @127 ft. lbs. with CVT transmission
3. driver or front seat doesn’t have good support
The goods:
Everything else is fine for such a small SUV
The mpg is slightly better than the CRV, which I expected. But yes, it'd be nice if it was much higher. Like Mid 30's for city
Good review
I love my hrv I’m 6’5” and fit pretty good I actually wanted a civic but decided to get this cause of the room. Also I got the six speed manual and it feels nice.
Would you go for a HRV or Kicks ?
I just found your review. Several days ago we sold our 2019 HR-V with 18,000 miles. I was sad to let it go as it really grew on me over the years. We hauled tons of stuff across the country, and we used it in town and for short trips. Everything always worked, with the "ECO" mode we got 45 mpg highway. We sold it to a friend, but if you can find one that was well cared for, you might be surprised at how "likeable" it can be.
Cons if you are actually wanting to buy one. Suspension is stiff, if you travel bumpy pot hole filled roads you will feel it. Also you cant settle while driving if you're small with no arm rest and too much room to use the window seal so long drives will fatigue your arms more than usual. lastly the gas mileage it advertises is only if you're in economy mode or drive like a grandma. if you ask the car for power it charges you a lot of gas with barely any results.
Well done - great 'get to the point' review !
does it display digital speed?
My biggest complaint is the Phone voice commands. It doesn't work very well
You have to try initiating a call about 10 to 15 times for voice command to be understood .
It doesn't recognize call command . Very frustrating , and could be dangerous . My 2006 after market pioneer system works everything in my 2006 Dodge Charger . This 2019 Hrv voice command is horrible . Anyone else with this problem ??? And I've tried everything
I've posted here about 6 months ago, still very happy and now get 31.5 MPH on highway, but heated seats are ridiculous. I barely feel anything getting warm, and is it warmer just where one sits, or the back of seats as well?
back at the dealer with just 15,000 miles, the service dept. said I needed to have my throttle bottle injection cleaned out due to carbon build up for just $160. lol. I declined and don't think i'll ever go back there. Opinions appreciated.
Body not bottle.
i just traded my Bmw x5 for this car dealer looked at me are you serious i’m like yes ,that’s a big down grade they said i said it’s ok my 16 year old doughter is not gone drive 500hp as a first car i hope this little Honda will serve her good trouble free years
You won't have all the wallet eating maintenance costs and german Gremlins BMW'S are known for🤑
@@andydanko7074 try honda vezel but it only in japan and some asian country
Nice video!
Thank you! 😁👍
I'm looking to downsize my lease pmt and vehicle size (currently leasing a crv) so naturally I'm interested in a HRV . It wont be a deal breaker but I'd prefer knobs to adjust fan speed / temp since I live in a cold climate and we're always adjusting heat / fan speed as vehicle warms up . I know its underpowered but I'd rather have the tried and true civic engine in there instead of a direct injection turbo since I'll be using it for practical reasons . Good review -thanks
I don’t blame you at all for wanting this engine, I’m the same way. It should be a reliable vehicle and it’s definitely really spacious and practical for its size. Definitely agree with the lack of knobs...if you get one I hope you enjoy it! 😁👍
Not sure about the HR-V but on the Honda Fit the base model had a simpler and easier to use audio system.
My 2019 honda hrv has the main screen but also knobs and actual buttons for heat and a/c control. I do wish it had better gas mileage though.
My daily driver and I have no real complaints. Could use a little leg room in length but other then that I run all my route fine in it.
Would you recommend this for uber? How would you compare it to camry and corolla?
I would buy one if the motor was better like at least the 1.5 turbo but they need to put the 1.5 turbo VTEC and these would fly off the showroom floor
Hi, this is an awesome video, I’d like to know, where is the engine temperature gauge? Thanks in advance.
Dont need one. When start it the cold temp light is on... im assuming when its hot it will light up screen.
You awesome and my most favorite video from you is your 2018 Nissan Kicks review.
Dylan Slate thank you very much! Glad you like that one 😁👍
Do you know how to turn off the day time lights?
How was the riding position?
Better in honda fit?
Comfortable for long journey?
The seats in mine are the same as the seats in my 07 fit
Look up the fuel economy on the version that they sell in England in the 1.6 Diesel
Can anyone help me how to get rhat maps icon on the top left?????
I agree with you 100%,everything you mentioned is true.
When are you going to review the new Kia Soul,and the Stinger?
CAM AUTO thank you! Glad you asked 😉🤔. I’ll start driving the Soul GT line this week and the Stinger GT sometime in August. Can’t wait! Anything specific you’d like to see?
@Prime Autotainment
I know you throw a lot of work behind the scene for your videos.
If possible I would love to see a night preview for both,just like you did with Telluride 😉
Only if it’s possible lo 😂
CAM AUTO I appreciate that! I wish I had more time for it. I usually study the specs on my lunch break at work 😅. If I get a chance I’ll get those night videos! 😁
@Prime Autotainment
Lol 😂 okay,don’t worry about it, if it’s not possible.
Do it have remote Stat?
All other dislike are personal preference but for your dislike #1, I do agree. small motor yet return poor MPG vs. its bigger CRV which give better MPG and bigger motor. However, most people whom bought the HR-V aren't too picky about acceleration. I own one and it on normal driving it's fine. The needs for quick acceleration are rare anyway unless you got lead foot.
That's how I think too.
You don't get it, I agree with your dislikes but if you want or need the features you don't like get a CR-V, that's what my wife did. She wanted to love the HR-V but ...
how to convert fahrenheit to celsius??
Should have got the lx model. No touchscreen
is there a way i can get led headlights in my lx hrv?
I have it on 2019 touring model.
I have the 2022 hr-v ex model, i do love it, but I always wanted the civic hatch, i prefer the civic hatch anyways
I just got this car u made me hate it 😂
Dude it’s supposed to be limited because of the pricing 🤦🏻♂️ you can’t complain of every little useless detail. It still out does every other model in its class.
You obviously don’t listen. And no it doesn’t out do every other model in class. Name one publication that lists the HR-V as best overall.
I like the HR-V...but it needs updates and when compared to any other vehicle at this price...it starts to fall short in several ways
@@PrimeAutotainment do you know a publication that lists cars by class ? what are the ones you follow ?
Would you go for a HRV or Kicks ?
kicks, just because of the value and the seats are amazing
HRV because of AWD, I need it in snow country of northern Ontario Canada!
Accord or H- RV? I would get the H-RV. Cost of ownership is lower.
And in Asia, some countries had the 1.8L NA engine while the rest had the 1.5L NA engine, if the 1.8L is considered underpowered, I'm not sure about the 1.5L I've sat in many times...
SilcoSilva Hidayat dang I haven’t driven that 1.5L NA lol. The 1.8 is OK for power but I guess comparing it to competitors...the others are swifter...except the CHR as far as I can remember. My biggest complaint with the 1.8 is that it’s less efficient than I expected. Thanks for chipping in!
@@PrimeAutotainment I see... I'm only a passenger, and when I sat in one like when in the past in an Uber and now the other private hire operators as Uber has ceased here, it seems the drivers didn't complain much though I notice many tend to slam their foot hard to accelerate at traffic junctions, merge into expressways or overtake... Some had nasty gearbox probably due to poor maintenance as these rental cars are usually whacked hard that when I sit as a front passenger I felt like the gearbox is gonna break and snap (maybe this is what many call the rubber band effect) into the cabin...
But oh yeah, I forgot to mention, we also now have a 1.5L hybrid variant of the HR-V... Supposed to be more fuel efficient, but the engine stop start function can be a nuisance and I spoke to some friendly drivers and non had mentioned any difference in the fuel economy part, maybe the hybrid is inefficient or the drivers' driving pattern plays a part...
The Toyota CH-R on the other hand is available only as a 1.8L hybrid from where I am, and some 1.2L turbo are parallel imported in... Not as popular as the HR-V, and I've sat on several occasion in the rear and it feels like a third row in a compact MPV...
SilcoSilva Hidayat oh wow good to know. It’s cool to learn about the other options like that. Also near to hear about the 1.5L Hybrid...it would be nice to have a hybrid option here. Thanks again for sharing!
In japan it called vezel in hybrid is 150bhp and 156 nm
shame about the engine. sweet looking rides. I hate CVTs. nice vid.
Same here, thank you!!!
it not turbo that why is has less gas milage than crv while the crv has turbo
Rav4 isn’t turbo and gets up to 35 mpg
I got a hrv it’s a great car a little under powered in my opinion. Kinda wanna b16 swap it for the meme
Welp got a 2020 sport leased it and with 500 a month and 10,000 mileage limit 😑
$500 a month lease for this vehicle?! You were robbed! More than robbed!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 why did you say yes.
@@wallywally3738 lol and I thought I got a not so excellent deal at $292/mo incl taxes for 36m/10k
I would either move down to the Honda Fit, or across to a Kia Niro, or up to a Mazda CX-5. The HRV was too slow and the transmission felt bad, with lots of engine vibration for my test drive.
Good choices! Thanks for sharing the info 👍
F
Your mentions don't offer AWD, so the HR-V is the one for me.
It's clear that you don't like honda so why're are you reviewing it
I owned a Honda not long ago and loved it. I do these 5 likes and dislikes for a lot of vehicles. Maybe you weren’t aware that I’m saying both good and bad things, all my opinion of course.
I feel like this is a great car for a kid who just got their license and they need something to get back and forth to school in and is affordable. Besides that, I don't really see a need for anyone to willing buy this car over something of that of the CRV or something else with more power, fuel efficiency, or traditional transmission. I would definitely go for the Civic or CRV over this as my main car.
I agree with ya! I’d rather have one of those others but I’m sure there’s definitely a niche for this too
I'm sure yo're right man. Don't get me wrong, it is an attractive little CUV in terms of looks, that's enough to draw anyone in. Back in the day, I probably would jumped at the chance to have one if it were out when the first gen Versa was out. I owned the S model of that car and that thing was a damn death trap on wheels. Lol!
22Kevi haha man I can imagine. I’ve never driven one but I’ll take your word for it 😅
Man, I'm trying to tell you, what made it bad was the 4 speed automatic, it worked fine until you had to do a panic stop. The Transmission would literally die, then after nearly six seconds it would surge the RPMs then take almost another second until you actually moved. I dealt with that for two years, after that I had to get rid of it!
I bought HRV AWD for my 16 yr old to drive to school. It handles well and in a climate of snow snow snow where sedans are not a great option this was the perfect gem. The price is right and added I made sure it had every feature available. Great deal and the folding seat options will be perfect when she goes off to college in another year.
I got 2022 HRV sport. Like’s: AWD on snow , looks not like Mom’s (CR-V), roomy. Got mine for 15.500$ Vs 13k miles on it.
Dislike’s: Rebuild Title 😂 nobody wants to buy it. Only see old fellas driving this cars and me😢. To know this car build not for sale in USA but in some reason we have. more for Asian and Europe markets Vs 1.5litre petrol, hybrid and diesel options are there not here. I saw here hrv vs 256k miles on it so think 🤔 is bad or good car.
Fyi CRV get better mpg because of turbo.Hrv is not which makes more reliable.😀
I agree and would much rather have a non turbo engine 👍
Try honda vezel 160 hp has honda sensing much more better than honda hrv
I like the HRV..
All that touching can be distracting
Definitely!
I agree...they don't want people texting and driving but the made everything a touchscreen which is basically a giant smartphone on the dash. 🤔
Too bad no manual transmission
There is manual but only fwd
Your young this car is respectful slightly disagree
It’s not that I don’t like it, I think it’s great and super practical for its size. I feel like it’s overpriced at this trim. I do these 5 likes/dislikes in many vehicles. Not to hate!
Me getting 11 miles mpg on my crv lol
I RATHER THE HONDA CR-V
Get a mazda cx30 instead. A much better vehicle
This is a cheap economy car. You couldn't expect power or great sound system. I personally preferred a CRV.
Price isn't cheap.
Lane watch is better than radar blind spot monitoring. You can see the hazard with your own eyes…
Honda got rid of that feature and it’s your fault
Lol they didn’t get rid of it because of me, they got rid of it because customers complained about it. That’s what they said.
Lane watch is only one sided and is only applicable when you’re actually using your signal, not before. Actual blind spot monitors let you know someone is there before attempting to signal.
Hyundai/Kia have the best system...they have a lane camera AND radar blind spot monitoring. Honda should have done that since they had the camera first
@@PrimeAutotainment Hyundai and Kia engines also make pretty good bonfires, even during day time, definitely recommend if you want to cook up some bbq with your fam 😉🔥🔥 It’s sad Hondas never had that feature though lol
You don't like Lack of power: You trade power for 200+ thousand miles of reliability. You don't like the lack of a blind-spot monitor: You must go the old fashion way, ..turn your head. The other dislikes are justified.
Vehicles with more power can get better efficiency and still last over 200k miles. Perfect example is RAV4. It’s bigger, more powerful, and can still get 35 mpg hwy. I complain about blind spot because the current camera is more distracting than anything and literally every other car offers regular blind spot indicators. But yes, I always look anyways and don’t trust those lol
