![]() ![]() Combined with the low load floor, it makes packing the cargo hold a cinch. When released, the rear seatbacks fold flat. The HR-V's party trick is its second-row Magic Seat. The rear seat has tons of legroom, too, but headroom isn't as generous, thanks to the Honda's sloping roofline. The spacious front seats will provide enough head- and legroom for all but the tallest passengers. The snazziest features are limited to the top-spec Touring model. ![]() Its classy well-made interior may not set hearts racing, but outward visibility is good and passenger space is acceptable. For more information about the HR-V's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. The all-wheel-drive model we tested back in 2016 managed 30 mpg on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test. The HR-V proves itself to be mighty efficient on an EPA chart however, it underdelivered in our real-world testing. Choppiness when driving over rough roads and body roll in cornering could be resolved with better suspension damping, but when cruising on a level road or highway, the HR-V settles into a more even ride. The HR-V retains the sprightly and eager handling of the Fit hatchback on which it's based, but don't push it too hard. Adding all-wheel drive slowed it even further, to 9.5 seconds. ![]() With front-wheel drive, the HR-V managed a rather sluggish 8.6-second 60-mph time. Slow, noisy, and unrefined, the HR-V's four-cylinder engine won't satisfy your inner street racer, and the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) exacerbates the engine's incivility. The most notable upgrades include heated front seats, passive entry, a sunroof, and several driver assists (adaptive cruise, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist). While it obviously costs more than the lesser HR-V Sport, it has better standard features. That said, we think the mid-level EX model is the one to get. Sure, the HR-V isn't the cheapest or snazziest subcompact SUV, but it's a brilliant option for people who want one of the most practical vehicles in the class. ![]()
