If there's a company consistently known for standout cars, it's Honda. In 2019, Honda has two popular vehicles – the HR-V and the CR-V – in the top 10 among SUVs. The CR-V ranks #1 among small SUVs, and the HR-V takes the #7 spot among extra-small SUVs. The HR-V is a versatile vehicle with two rows of seats. The second row has a flexible design that allows the seats to fold flat to create more space. The well-equipped crossover also comes with several safety and technology features that make it more comfortable and confidence-inspiring to drive. Among the features you'll get in this year's HR-V are Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The infotainment system has been revised and re-centered this year, too. While the HR-V might seem small on the outside, it can comfortably seat up to five adults in its comfortable and spacious interior. Outward visibility is top-notch in this vehicle, and it has several cargo storage areas that make it easy to stow away your belongings without compromising interior space. The CR-V is also a spacious, versatile SUV. The CR-V seats five passengers across two rows of seats. It has a generously-sized trunk and cabin, making it a top choice for long road trips. Like the HR-V, the CR-V has cleverly designed interior spaces to stow cargo.
The HR-V is driven by a four-cylinder engine that produces 141 HP at 6,500 RPM and 127 LB-FT of torque at 4,300 RPM. The engine is the same on all trim levels. It is paired with an automatic transmission. Steering and handling are tight on the HR-V, and it has precise steering around turns. The HR-V also gets a fine-tuned suspension, which adds to its stability and makes it more comfortable to drive. The CR-V is powered by one of two engines. The base engine is a four-cylinder with a top power output of 184 HP at 6,400 RPM and maximum torque capacity of 180 LB-FT at 3,900 RPM. The second engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder with a power output of 190 HP at 5,600 RPM and a peak torque capacity of 179 LB-FT between 2,000 and 5,000 RPM.
Both the HR-V and the CR-V are beautiful cars. The HR-V gets a new look for the new year with refreshed styling on the front and back ends. A shark fin antenna, rear spoiler, and sculpted headlights give it a dramatic look. The HR-V is offered in a total of eight paint colors, although some are only available on select trims. The HR-V is also accented by a large front grille, stylish wheels, and LED lights. A honeycomb-style grille is also a feature that you can get to enhance the look of your HR-V. The CR-V gets halogen headlights, a roof-mounted antenna, intermittent windshield wipers. This model has a roofline spoiler, integrated brake light, and body-colored door handles, too.
On the interior, the HR-V has several exciting amenities to make for a smooth, comfortable, and luxurious ride. Multiple cargo settings and second-row seats that fold flat create the ultimate versatility in the HR-V's cabin. Automatic climate control and optional heated seats add to the HR-V's comfortable interior. The CR-V features a leather-wrapped wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and power-operated windows. Both vehicles get a premium infotainment system and abundant safety technology.
