What's New

Model year 2023 marks the launch of the second-generation HR-V, totally new from top to bottom. Its designers sought to create a vehicle with highly engaging style, advanced design and exceptional balance—one that provides remarkable efficiency while vastly expanding its driver’s capabilities.

In a mid-year update, the Sport and EX-L trims can now be had with or without the blind spot information system (BSI)¹³ and cross traffic monitor¹⁴ features.

In addition to a sleek and sophisticated exterior design, the new HR-V comes with these highlights:

• A comprehensive, updated suite of Honda Sensing^® safety and driver-assistive features on every trim
• More power from a 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC^® engine
• The Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ available on every trim has been updated to provide improved grip in snowy conditions
• A responsive and refined new suspension system featuring MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link design in the rear
• Updated audio and connectivity items on every trim level including color touch-screens, Apple CarPlay^®18 and Android Auto™¹⁹ compatibility on all trims (wireless on EX-L), a pair of 2.5-amp USB-A charging ports and more
• Cool new features like a pair of electrostatic rear reading lights on every trim that illuminate with just a touch anywhere on the fixture—a first on any Honda
• An exhilarating upgrade to the Sport trim’s interior design, featuring bold orange stitching in the seats, door trim and leather-wrapped steering wheel
• New upscale touches on the HR-V EX-L such as dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat, ambient LED lighting, front and rear parking sensors and more
• Additions to the exterior color palette include Nordic Forest Pearl⁶⁹ and Urban Gray Pearl⁶⁹, while Aegean Blue Metallic and Midnight Amethyst Metallic are no longer offered.
• The EX trim is no longer available.
• The HR-V has a large number of features in the newly expanded Honda Sensing^® suite: 
  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)⁸
  • Forward Collision Warning (FCW)⁹ 
  • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)⁴  
  • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)¹⁰  
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow¹³  
  • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)¹¹ with Traffic Jam Assist  
  • Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)⁵⁸  
  • Driver attention monitor  
  • Auto high-beam headlights  
  • Available blind spot information system (BSI)¹⁴  
  • Available cross traffic monitor⁴² 
  • Available low-speed braking control⁶⁸  
  • Available front and rear parking sensors 

And like buyers of all 2023 Honda models, HR-V purchasers can take advantage of the new Honda Service Pass⁷¹. Coverage applies for the first two years or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) from date of sale. Using only Honda Genuine Parts and covering certain factory-scheduled maintenance, it includes:

• Standard oil and oil filter changes
• Tire rotations
• Multi-point inspections

Owners receive a handy Maintenance Minder™ alert in their vehicle when it’s time to schedule service, which they can do through the HondaLink^® smartphone app.²²
