Taking to the streets with a generational redesign, the new Honda HRV in Phoenix has never been better. Generational upgrades affect everything from its more sophisticated good looks to the effectiveness of its technology. However, affordable prices remain a strong selling point.
Here’s what you need to know about the new HRV if you are shopping for -- or just curious about -- new subcompact SUVs today.
Performance
To make the 2026 Honda HR V more fun to drive, the engineers strengthened its build and gave it a wider stance. Meanwhile, they re-tuned the steering, added an independent front suspension, and utilized a multilink rear suspension.
The 2-liter four-cylinder engine is larger and more potent. There’s a sporty feel to the SUV’s 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. A new Step Shift automatic transmission adds crisper gear shifts.
Ensuring that this budget-friendly ride is affordable to own, good fuel economy has been maintained. The HR V is rated for 32 mpg in highway driving.
You can opt for all-wheel drive instead of the standard front-wheel drivetrain. This Real Time AWD system includes a snow mode.
Utility
Since it is longer as well as wider than the previous generation, the new HR V in Phoenix has more space for passengers and their gear. The second row has 37.7 inches of legroom and 38 inches of head room.
Furthermore, this subcompact SUV has a generous cargo area rated at 24.4 cubic feet. The new cargo hold has several advantages, including gear tie-down points and a new wavy pattern that helps grip items.
The second row can split-fold, allowing you to expand cargo capacity while maintaining some rear seating. If all seats are folded, the available area measures 55 cubic feet. With so much versatility as well as spaciousness, Honda HR V owners can count on their SUV to move a load.
Interior
The Phoenix Honda HR V cabin is full of high quality materials rendered in an uncluttered style. The interior looks as well as feels more spacious. The doors seem connected by the unique honeycomb mesh accent that spans the dashboard.
New front row chairs have a special anti-fatigue design. Automatic climate controls help keep the cabin more comfortable. With the available remote starter, the driver can cool the cabin on a hot Phoenix summer day.
The second row bench is wider, and, therefore, more comfortable for passengers. This affordable SUV also has standard second-row air vents.
