Honda Unveils Eye-Popping 2026 HR-V
Honda's compact SUV is back Honda has just revealed the 2026 model year HR-V, with a few changes and upgrades to set it apart from its predecessor. The 2026 HR-V will continue to use the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. AWD remains optional, and it appears that efficiency numbers (listed below) will remain about the same. 2026 Honda HR-V EX-L Once again, the 2026 Honda HR-V will be based on the eleventh-generation Honda Civic. This is the second generation of the HR-V for our market, and Honda sold nearly 139,000 units in the U.S. over the 2024 model year, a nearly 14-percent increase over 2023. Still, it's been a few years since the second-generation model was introduced, so some changes are needed. Three trims will be available. The base model HR-V LX now comes with 'Pewter Gray' 17-inch alloy wheels, while the HR-V Sport gets new 18-inch 'Berlina Black' alloy wheels. The top-of-the-line HR-V EX-L also sports 18-inch alloy wheels, albeit with a machine-finished look. Two new exterior colors join the roster: 'Solar Reflection Metallic,' which is available on the LX and EX-L, and 'Boost Blue Pearl,' which is only available on the HR-V Sport. Base model HR-Vs get rear privacy glass, and mid-level trims get blacked-out rear badging. 2026 Honda HR-V Pricing & EPA Fuel Economy Ratings Trim MSRP MSRP Plus $1,395 Destination Charge EPA Mileage Rating City/Hwy/Comb4 LX (FWD) $26,200 $27,595 26 / 32 / 28 LX (AWD) $27,700 $29,095 25 / 30 / 27 Sport (FWD) $28,000 $29,395 26 / 32 / 28 Sport (AWD) $29,500 $30,895 25 / 30 / 27 EX-L (FWD) $30,050 $31,445 26 / 32 / 28 EX-L (AWD) $31,550 $32,945 25 / 30 / 27 The interior gets some upgrades, too The base model LX and mid-level Sport get a larger 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless charging. New front footwell lighting mirrors the dynamic climate control knob lighting, which can be blue, red, or white. The steering wheel has a silver finish and has also been restyled. Honda's suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies will also come standard. Like the previous model, Honda is including 'next generation' airbags as well as knee and rear passenger side impact airbags. Final thoughts While the basic looks and performance remain the same, Honda was smart to give the HR-V a mid-cycle refresh. It's one of its better sellers and remains competitive against the Toyota Corolla Cross, Mazda CX-30, and Nissan Kicks, among others. With competitive pricing and fuel economy, it stands a chance of making an impact in its segment. The 2026 Honda HR-V is arriving at dealerships now.

2026 Honda HR-V: Not Much Change, For a Change
Has it been three years already? Yes, we suppose it has. Honda launched the latest iteration of the HR-V subcompact SUV for the 2023 model year, and now it's time for the usual mid-cycle model refresh. Except we're starting to wonder if Honda isn't getting as cynical about this as we are, because the updates are so minor as to be practically nonexistent. And you know what, that's just fine. Granted, we got nothing on our wish list—in particular, more power!—but the HR-V is a fine little vehicle otherwise, currently ranked third among subcompact SUVs in MT's Ultimate Car Rankings. Why change for the sake of change? 0:00 / 0:00 What's New with the 2026 Honda HR-V Honda's press release touts 'refreshed exterior and interior styling details,' but perhaps that was written by AI, because the only differences seem to be new wheels for all three trims (including a change from 17-inch rims to 18s for the EX-L; previously on the Sport had 18s) and a gloss-black badge for the Sport model. There are also two new colors, Solar Reflection Metallic (read: gray) and a rather fetching shade of blue called Boost Blue Pearl. Tinted glass is now standard on the LX, whereas it previously only came with Sport and EX-L models. Inside, all HR-Vs now get the 9.0-inch center touch-screen that was used to be the exclusive domain of the EX-L; in the past, entry-level LX and mid-level Sport versions got a 7.0-inch screen (dark days, those, how did we live?). Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a wireless charging pad, also formerly reserved for the EX-L, are now standard in all HR-Vs. So what's left to differentiate the EX-L? Along with its leather interior, that model now gets silver spokes on the steering wheel, illuminated footwells, and 'dynamic climate control lighting,' which means that the dials change color when you dial in different temperatures. Nice. A Little More HR-V, A Little More Money And, of course, prices are up—by $1,145 for the LX model, $845 for the Sport, and $895 for the EX-L. The range now starts at $27,595 (including destination fee) for a front-wheel-drive HR-V LX, running up to $32,945 for an all-wheel-drive EX-L. Truth be told, it's kind of nice to see a good SUV left alone. Granted, we don't know if there's anything here to propel the HR-V past the Hyundai Kona and Subaru Crosstrek in our Ultimate Car Rankings. We'd love it to have more power—it's ridiculously slow—and better fuel economy, and we wish it were quieter. In other words, we fully expected Honda to shove the same excellent hybrid powertrain it added to the related Civic sedan and hatchback last year, which has both plenty of power and better efficiency than the HR-V's pokey 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine—but alas, Honda did not. But the HR-V has found a strong buyer base, and Honda was right not to change it too much. See, a little cynicism is never a bad thing.

2026 Honda HR-V Starts at $27,595 and Adds a Larger Touchscreen
The 2026 Honda HR-V is getting a variety of minor updates that mirror those given to the 2026 Honda CR-V. The main updates include a new 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The HR-V's prices are slightly higher for the new model year, now ranging from $27,595 for the front-drive LX to $32,945 for the AWD EX-L. Honda says the HR-V subcompact SUV is the most popular SUV in America among Gen Z shoppers. Apparently, that claim isn't good enough for Honda, because for the 2026 model year, the brand is making several changes to the HR-V to help increase popularity with young buyers. That said, the majority of the changes are incredibly minor. From the outside, the 2026 car looks practically identical to the 2025 version. The only clues are two new paint colors (Solar Reflection Metallic and Boost Blue Pearl), new wheel designs for all three trims, and new black badging on the tailgate of Sport models. Solar Reflection is available on the LX and EX-L, while Boost Blue is only available on the Sport trim. Honda Inside, updates to the 2026 HR-V are tech-focused and closely mirror those added to the 2026 Honda CR-V. That means a new 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That screen is also two inches larger than last year. There's new front footwell lighting too, silver steering-wheel spokes, and a new climate-control knob for the EX-L. Lastly, privacy rear glass now comes standard on all three trims. Honda Honda While they're higher than last year, pricing changes for the 2026 Honda HR-V are similarly minor. The front-wheel-drive LX now starts at $27,595 (up from $26,795). The front-drive Sport model runs $29,395, and the range-topping EX-L starts at $31,445. All-wheel drive can be added to each of the three trims for an additional $1500. According to Honda, 2026 models are already on sale. Jack Fitzgerald Associate News Editor Jack Fitzgerald's love for cars stems from his as yet unshakable addiction to Formula 1.
