When it comes to subcompact SUVs, drivers want a smaller vehicle that is reliable, affordable, and efficient. The thing is that most such models check these boxes quite easily. So, the key is to find one that goes beyond the standard, giving you things that surpass the ordinary.
Honda has been doing that since 2016, when the brand introduced its subcompact SUV mainstay, the HR-V. This model gives you the cutting-edge technology that is synonymous with Honda, helping to keep you and your passengers safe, connected, and entertained wherever you go.
The 2027 Honda HR-V represents the most advanced iteration yet in the history of this impressive little SUV. You'll find your HR-V to be a highly reliable vehicle that will get you to work, school, or around town safely and efficiently. This is why we are proud to offer the HR-V at Route 22 Honda. We are a Honda dealership with a large selection of 2027 HR-V models to choose from.
Exceptional Design, Efficient Performance
Drivers who are concerned about their vehicle's fuel consumption will love the 2027 HR-V. Front-wheel-drive models offer an EPA-estimated 28 MPG combined, while those with Honda's available Real Time All-Wheel Drive average an EPA-estimated 27 MPG.[a] That is the kind of fuel efficiency that folks commuting to school or work are certain to appreciate.
The HR-V achieves these impressive fuel economy numbers through its very efficient powertrain. This pairs a 2.0-liter I-4 gas engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The engine has a dual overhead camshaft design with 16 valves across four cylinders. It also has Honda's i-VTEC (Intelligent Variable Valve Timing) system, which is designed to maximize performance at higher speeds while saving fuel at lower speeds by shutting down engine valves. The result is smooth and efficient performance.
The engine on the 2027 HR-V uses multi-point fuel injection. This produces an output of 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. This propels the Honda HR-V from zero to 60 mph in just 9.4 seconds, with a top speed of 115 mph. This is more than enough acceleration to merge onto a busy highway during rush hour.
Modern Technology That Keeps You Safe
Honda has always been at the forefront of passenger safety. This is certainly the case with the 2027 HR-V, which offers a wide assortment of standard active driver assistance features. Called the Honda Sensing suite, these features will help keep you and your passengers safe by alerting you to hazards during your drive, while autonomous systems will help you avoid getting into an accident. This is a big reason why the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named last year's HR-V a Top Safety Pick+.[b]
When the vehicle in front of you brakes suddenly, or you come close to a stopped vehicle, the Forward Collision Warning will sound, alerting you to the danger. The Collision Mitigation Braking System will also engage, bringing your HR-V to a safe stop or reducing the impact of an unavoidable accident to reduce any damage.
One of the most common causes of highway accidents is driver distraction. A momentary lapse of attention can have catastrophic consequences. This is why the 2027 HR-V has a standard Driver Attention Monitor. This will supervise your driving and, if the system determines you are fatigued based on your actions, such as constantly making steering corrections, it will provide visual and audible alerts, notifying you to take a break.
Lapses of concentration while driving can also cause your vehicle to drift into other lanes. This is why the HR-V has Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist System. When your HR-V begins to drift out of the lane when you are not signaling, the Lane Departure Warning will sound, while the Lane Keep Assist System uses slight steering adjustments to get you safely back in the lane. The Road Departure Mitigation System works in a similar fashion, but it activates when you cross a line that lets the system know that your vehicle is in danger of going off the road.
Cruising in an HR-V Is Easier Than Ever
The Honda Sensing suite's features are also designed to enhance your enjoyment of the Honda HR-V. Each model comes with Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow. Just like a regular cruise control system, you set your desired speed and then take your foot off the accelerator.
However, with Adaptive Cruise Control, the system will adjust your speed to match the flow of traffic. So, if there is a slow-moving vehicle in front of you, the system will slow your HR-V down until the slower vehicle departs, returning you to your desired speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control even works when you are in a traffic jam. Traffic Jam Assist will take care of the steering, braking, and acceleration, helping to reduce driver fatigue while also reducing the risk of getting into an accident.
You can even make sure you are driving at a safe speed by paying attention to the Traffic Sign Recognition tool on your HR-V’s display screen. This will detect and display road signs, so you can adjust your speed, even with Adaptive Cruise Control. This will help keep you and your passengers safe while also making sure you don’t get a speeding ticket.
Connected and Entertained Wherever You Go!
The HondaLink infotainment system on your HR-V is easy to use and standard for this subcompact SUV. Honda has equipped each 2027 HR-V with a nine-inch color touchscreen interface. This will make it easy to access your favorite apps. It will also give you the definition you need when using a navigation program to reach your next destination.
All you need to do is connect your smartphone to HondaLink using wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. So, if you left your charging cables at home, you don’t have to worry since you can still use the infotainment system on your HR-V. Simply set your phone to Bluetooth and follow the prompts on the touchscreen to connect your phone. This will allow you to access your favorite apps while safely making hands-free calls and texts.
Connecting your smartphone also lets you stream your favorite music over the HR-V's sound system. Each 2027 model comes with a 180-watt amplifier to provide the dynamic sound you desire. Depending on which trim you choose, you will get a very impressive speaker system. The base LX trim has a four-speaker system, while the Sport has a six-speaker system, and the top EX-L trim has eight speakers. The only difficult part will be choosing the soundtrack for your next trip!
The HR-V also makes it easy to keep your devices charged while you are commuting to work or school, or simply going out on the town. This model comes with a standard wireless phone charger compatible with most smartphones, so you won’t have to worry about draining your smartphone's battery when you are wirelessly connected to the HondaLink system. There are also USB charging ports in the front and back, so your passengers can keep their devices properly charged, too.
