4 Reasons Why The 2023 Honda HR-V Is A Standout Crossover

4 Reasons Why The 2023 Honda HR-V Is A Standout Crossover

After pioneering the compact crossover category with the boxy first-generation model in the late 1990s, the Honda HR-V evolved to accept coupe-like lines when the second-generation model debuted in 2015. With the introduction of the latest generation, the HR-V returned with a sleek and rugged form.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How does the 2023 Honda HR-V's ULT seats work?

    In Utility Mode, the two rear seats can be folded to increase cargo space. Long Mode folds both the front and rear seats for a lengthy space. In Tall Mode, folding-up of the rear seat cushions make room for vertical objects.
  • What are the variants and prices of the 2023 Honda HR-V?

    The 2023 Honda HR-V 1.5 S CVT Honda Sensing has a starting price of P1.389 million, and the 2023 Honda HR-V 1.5 RS Turbo CVT with Honda Sensing and Premium Opal White Silver Pearl paint costs P1.759 million.
  • With each generation, the Honda HR-V reflected the design and engineering philosophy of the brand offering new features for fans. 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.

    2022 Honda HR-V: Features we find most impressive

    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. On the inside, the HR-V RS is equipped with sports pedals, shift knobs, and a leather interior with red stitching.

    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).

    Commodious Cabin

    Inside, the 2023 Honda HR-V offers practicality and comfort. Like other Honda vehicles, the 2023 Honda HR-V also boasts its flexible interior space with ULT seats, which are composed of three adjustable modes.
