The Honda HR-V and the CR-V are close siblings in the current lineup at Honda of Murfreesboro. As a subcompact crossover, the HR-V introduces the line. The compact CR-V sits directly above the HR-V in the lineup. For 2023, the Honda HR-V has exciting updates from end to end, thanks to the debut of its next generation. Are you wondering how the new HR-V compares to the popular 2022 CR-V? Our Honda of Murfreesboro sales team is ready to help you discover their differences.
Both models have what it takes to impress drivers with their spirited capabilities. Under the hood of the 2023 Honda HR-V, you will find a 158-horsepower, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. This is paired with a continuously variable transmission. In the 2022 CR-V, all trim levels receive 190 horsepower from a turbo four-cylinder engine. Notably, all-wheel drive is standard for the CR-V’s top trim option.
The CR-V is slightly longer and wider than the HR-V, and this is only one of many differences in styling that you will find through a side-by-side comparison. The HR-V has a small grille with rounded corners. It is mounted over a rounded bumper flanked by sporty air vents. The headlights have an arrow-like quality and are mounted at a subtle angle. On the sides of the HR-V, deep, angled accentuation runs across the door panels. On the other hand, the CR-V has Honda’s hexagonal grille with a thin, chrome bar running along its top. The lower fascia is similarly accented. The grille is connected to wedge-like LED headlights. While the CR-V’s hood has a substantial definition, the sides are smoothly contoured with added accentuation over the fenders.
These are both two-row SUVs that share many features. For example, select trims for both models have heated front seats, a keyless ignition, a sunroof, smart device integration, an auto-dimming rear mirror, satellite radio with a premium audio system, Honda Sensing® tech, and leather material. Some CR-V’s trims also have an integrated navigation system, a power liftgate, and a wireless phone charging station.
