With that in mind, let's take a look at what makes the 2023 Honda HR-V unique in the subcompact crossover segment.
Sleek Styling
The muscular look of the 2023 Honda HR-V is complemented by upscale and sporty details. The redesigned headlights and fog lamps for the subcompact crossover include standard LEDs with turn lights, auto on/off functionality, and Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), which increase the driver's visibility on the road.
On the other hand, the 2023 Honda HR-V RS features an all-new, sportier exterior, and interior design. Its exterior is highlighted by a Sporty Chrome Front Grille and RS Emblem with Red Amp Logo, 18-inch RS Design Gray alloy wheels, and LED sequential turn signal.

Punchy Power
Once again, the HR-V promises sporty driving. The latest model is the first turbocharged HR-V with a 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engine, which puts out a mighty 177ps and 240Nm of torque. The VTEC is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) driving the front wheels. A naturally-aspirated 1.5-liter is also another powertrain option for the 2023 Honda HR-V.
To allow the HR-V's engine to provide more power readily, a Sport driving mode can be switched on. Econ Mode, which optimizes the operation of the engine to align with driving style to maximize fuel efficiency, and Normal Mode used for general and daily driving, are the other driving modes available.
Superb Safety
The all-new HR-V also comes standard with Honda Sensing, which offers extensive protection for drivers and passengers by giving warnings and performing automatic actions to lessen the risk of accidents.
Honda Sensing includes advanced safety features such as a collision mitigation braking system (CMBS), adaptive cruise control (ACC) with low-speed follow (LSF), lane keeping assist system (LKAS), road departure mitigation system with lane departure warning (RDM with LDW), auto high-beam (AHB), and lead car departure notification system (LCDN).
