Honestly - Honda's design if finally improved drastically. HRV looks like the previous RDX from the twilight, and front looks GREAT. Not so bland like the previous one.
I would not call the previous hrv very bland, infact this one is the bland one probably, the old one had more curves and sharp lines, they did the same thing with the hrv as they did with the civic, make it more simple

I own a 2019 HR-V and I love it. It’s not a fast vehicle off the line but it has two things that this new model doesn’t have. Two things that make me say “I’m holding on to mine for a long time!” 1) The magic seats! They have come in VERY handy since I’ve bought the car. 2) The blind spot monitoring CAMERA! I can actually SEE what’s in my right side blind spot before merging. Since I suffer from neck problems, it helps not having to turn to the far right to clear my blind spot. Furthermore, after seeing what the Asian and European markets got for THEIR version of the HR-V redesign…. I feel like we got robbed. Just my opinion. However, this is a good review of the vehicle. Thanks again and please keep ‘em coming! 🤜🤛
The blind spot camera in my 2017 civic has me holding on to my car as well. Such an amazing feature that I wish honda would bring back, because everything else feels like a downgrade.
The HR-V Sport/EX-L have the blind spot monitoring warning on both mirrors, though the phase out the camera on the right side. The Magic Seats were great, but the previous HR-V is based on the Fit platform, and had the fuel tank under the driver's seat. The new HR-V is based on the larger Civc platform, so the added more comfortable seat bottom cushions, and made them lower when you fold the seatbacks down so the cargo surface is almost flat.
I test drove this today. At low speeds like in urban/suburban areas, the engine is actually reasonably strong. It’s only on highway speeds that it feels a bit weaker, but still adequate. I drove a front wheel drive version.

I love Honda vehicles, they last forever. Sun roofs don't do much for me anymore, so having a model that doesn't have one is fine with me. I like the redesign.
I miss the tilt of a sunroof. But other than that, they are really annoying for a tall person. Also, when one (or more) drain hole(s) gets clogged and there is a heavy downpour, guess what's gonna happen to the headliner or wherever the leak pass through.
Same here I barely use sunroof anymore. I don’t care much about leather either. I have a loaded 2021 Mazda CX-5 loaded and I don’t use the memory driver seat or paddle shifters at all. I do use the ventilated seats but I could live without them. I’ll get a cloth car next time.

I'm on my second chevy trax and I am so sick of these companies making their COMPACT SUVs larger and larger, The whole point of a COMPACT SUV is that it;s not suppose to be as big as an SUV. So today I was driving and this car was in front of me and I had to check it out because then when I got to work the exact same car same color was parked right at the entrance to my job. I swear it was like God was saying this is your new car.
Did see one yesterday at Lia Honda. 1) assembled in Mexico (!) 2) transmission made in Mexico (!) 3) 25 MPG(city), 30MPG(highway) 4) $29K for Sport model My take "NO"!
@@lowrider3342444 Presently, there's only the base LX, Sport and EX-L. They have something on the back of the rear console. So it looks like possible future trims could have A/C vents and USB ports. I would just get powrrbsnks snd charging cables in the center console storage if anyone needed it. I hardly would have rear seat passengers, so not an issue for me.
Honda’s idea of “Sport” makes no sense to me on this HRV. First off how can you call it sport with no sunroof? Only the “sport” lettering gets blacked out? Running boards should be standard on the “sport” trim. Foglights, a roof spoiler, DUAL exhaust! Roof rack! Blacked out roof, black out all badges and emblems, make it a lifestyle CUV. I’m not sure what Honda is thinking. Why not a touring trim? Should be: Sport EXL TOURING.
Thank you! There’s nothing sporty about this trim. When I think “Sport”, I’m thinking “Ohhh, so it’s got an engine with more ‘pep’ than the other trims?” Not in this case at all.
I'm a GM retiree and very drawn to the new HR-V. I love the size, love the standard equipment, and the updated exterior/interior. Over the years, my needs have changed, but it appears the new HR-V is the perfect vehicle for some of us in the senior crowd. Keep up the fantastic detailed reports on new vehicles; you are the creme de la creme of all automotive reporters!!!!
When it comes to vehicle designs Joe's one of the best, GM ought to offer him a job that he can't refuse in their design department, that Equinox of theirs is hideous, whoever design that thing ought to be fired!!
I am in the same boat with you. I was raised with GM cars, but after 3 Buicks and 3 Chevies, I defected, as they just have too msny problems now. I am also older, still an enthusiast, but don't need to drive too fast anymore. I was going to get a Civic Sport Hatchback, but this suits me much better for what I want and need.
I'm in my 50s and have a 2019 HRV and love mine even though I came from driving a BMW for 11 years, so I completely get what you're saying about car needs changing as time goes on. I do occasionally miss the speed and power of the BMW, but everything else about the HRV I love! plus it takes regular and gets great mileage

I know the styling on this generation has been the talk of the town but me personally I like how it looks like. A lot of people don’t like it. It’s definitely better then the last generation that’s for sure
I like it better on video than in pics. The Euro version is still more interesting to my eye. Major improvement over the current generation HRV. I would have a hard time choosing between this and the naturally aspirated CX-30. However the CX30 Turbo would be my choice everytime. I really wish Honda would have equipped the top trim HRV's with the 1.5T.
They are so beautiful im from México and theres a couple of them in the streets and the first time a see one flyby i thought it was a little audi suv... it was on a red color omg .. then when i get to the red light i see the honda logo .. and i was like wtf.. but onestly you need to see it on person .. it doesnt yell cheap or small .. and im a big truck and euro cars guy. Sorry about my english saludos desde México!
I know I’m in the minority with the statement about to make, but the fact that this is still a gasoline engine just makes it a nonstarter for me. If this thing was all electric I’d be begging for Honda to take my money. But Kia has really upped the game, this HR-V just can’t compare to an EV6. I’ve always been a Honda fanboy, but they are just losing my interest with lack of all electric cars.
There making a Hybrid HR-V in 2024. All Electric is 5 years away. The fact is Electric vehicles are skyrocketing they have sell all Electric model over 50k and prices will keep going up because of the lithium batteries expense.
Yes it has been years now and hounda is still at the same hp they been doing . It's kind of sad when you have a 2009 acura Dan acura that keeps up with a 2022 or 2021 Honda Accord 10 speed
@@chazmiles965 Well this 2.0na is another story. I personally think all of the other engines have plenty of power except this one. The 2.4na, 3.6na and 1.5T and 2.0T are decent enough
Great redesign... too bad there isn't any cup holders or connectivity for rear seat passengers. Huge zonk for me. Of course Honda is going to sell these like hot cakes. The 148 hp is a zonk as well. I think it should at least have 180 to 198 horsepower. Also have partial leather seats since it is the sport trim. I feel like Toyota and Honda are cutting too many corners to save on costs but then the customer isn't fully satisfied in the end. No rear cup holders?!?! C'mon Honda!!! Really????
158 HP, same reliable N/A 2.0L engine as the Civic Sport. It's peppy compared to the previous HR-V. It'sbnot as fast as the 1.5L turbo, but it has this engine for a specific reason: reliable, durable, dependable, with longevity, and less potential problems, maintenance and expense with the turbo, GDI, and smaller displacement engine. The people that buy this want that reliability, even more so than Civic buyers. There's a lot of improvements, and Honda wanted to keep the price low for the equipment it has. We may think it's only a few dollars more, but gor Honda, that'sna huge expense for all the vehicles. If they added those things, they would delete lots of the nice features like the LED lights and outside mirror turn signals, and such. I hardly have rear seat passengers. A/C would be nice if you do, but I csn get smsll.power banks and charging cables to pur in the center console storage if needed. However, my OCD self would want a map pocket behind the Driver's/Left seat.
@@jjacob25101 You're absolutely right JJacob. I just would like to see cup holders and at least one port for connectivity. I think for some buyers those amenities are expected especially for 2023 models and above. I have a 2022 Camry and having the kids in the back with cup holders is great. Connectivity isn't a necessity but I think even cup holders on the passenger door panels goes a long way. You're absolutely right about the engine having better longevity and less issues down the road so I understand why Honda chose that route. I just don't understand why the omission of cup holders is all.
@@MrHuff05 Like I said. Mostly for cost and getting this new model out there. I don’t think even the EX-L has a rear seat center folding armrest and cupholders. Maybe someone can make an aftermarket cupholder on the rear floor center between the seat and center console. I believe they designed the console for A/C vents where you can store a smartphone and USB ports under that as a possible later add on. Maybe a dealer installed accessory.
My only complaint is the horsepower. It’s so slow and it’s slower than an accord. If it had more power and actual sportiness it’d be worth every penny.
Why would it be faster than an accord? That makes no sense. The CR-V isn't even faster than the Accord and it's the bigger, more luxury vehicle. Go buy a RDX or MDX if you're looking for speed.
Yeah. It's really sad this HR-V Sport is so slow for a $25K high performance vehicle. Oh, wait! It's just a Civic based subcompact SUV with an adequate and very reliable, durable engine, not a Civic Si or Type R...
Its like honda took 2 ateps forward but one step back here, i mean i love the new design, the exterior is nice interior is nice but no rear ac? no rear connectivity? no arm rest? what is that? even kia seltos and hyundai creta give you those plus wireless charge and honda which is a top brand gives uys this? id rate it 2 1/2 out of 5
Awesome review! What a big, let down Honda just gave me with this car! Honda went cheap on the 2023 HRV. The car has a cheap, small display, one exhaust, 2.0 L dog engine, no sunroof, no rear AC Vents, and I did not see a COOLANT gauge! I bet this car is very slow without the 1.5 L turbo. I've owned Civics and CRV's since 2002 to 2021. I won't buy the 2023 HRV.
This is not the top of the line. I guess noone listens to the videos ..exl comes with the bigger screen and the moonroof and leather. This new engine has 20 hp more than the engine in the old hrv.
It’s also only $25,000 which is nothing these days. And not many under 65 yrs old and male care about a coolant gauge. A warning light will illuminate if over heating happens.
Like the Civics, the engine coolant gauge is a big irk, but like commented here, this is a reliable and dependable vehicle that shoukd not overheat if you don't thrash and abuse it, drive like a maniac, jack rabbit starts, and maintain it well and frequently inspect the hoses and such. It has 20 more HP than the previous HR-V, and in comparison is much more peppy and adequate for the majority of HR-V buyers, with less potential problems, maintenance and expense than the turbo engine. Also keep in mind that earlier Civic and Corollas has 130 HP or less. This is a compact SUV, not even a Civic Sport, it is what it is. But recently, K-Tuner released a calibration for the Civic with this same engine at about $300 that brings horsepower and torque up to non Si 1.5L turbo engine level, without the turbo and GDI. K-Tuner could tweak the calibration to optimize it for the HR-V with the ECM controls for the CVT. If you are a rabid tuner with mucho dinero, you could get the AWD Sport and drop in the detuned Type R 2.0L turbo engine from the Accord Sport and be running 260+ hp... People need to realize a Sport Trim vehicle is not always meant to be a high performance vehicle. At least fir the standard production mass market consumer vehicles.
The global HR-V is a B-segment crossover. This HR-V for North America only is a completely new C-segment crossover from Honda built on the Civic platform. Other regions are also expected to receive this new vehicle under the name ZR-V.
Maaaaaaaan Honda came in swinging with this redesigned HR-V here!!! My wife has one now and personally we would be hard pressed to go with anything else when it's time to get a newer car. One thing we'd definitely miss though is the magic seats and I really was hoping they'd bring that hybrid powertrain the Euro spec HR-V has to us over here at launch time. Come on Honda!!! Bring dat ting over here!!! Stellar review Joe and Lori!!!
The power is not inspiring but I don't think it is dangerously slow as some others have said. I just got mine a couple days ago. I had a 2019 civic hatchback and I did like the 1.5 turbo. The 2.0 is more reliable though. Imo overall a great vehicle for the price. There's always going to be things about vehicles that people don't like.
My sister is looking at an EX-L with $4,000 in options (rims, door visors, moonroof visor, black logos, all weather mats, cargo tray, and seatback protector), the EXL (in some aspects) has more features than a CRV EXL.
@@Striker50_ This market the HR-V wants the reliability and longevity. Like the Civic Sport with this engine and the Toyota Corolla. They may offer the turbo and/or hybrid later, but Honda specifically designed this for the targeted demographic that wants reliability.
No way I'm paying almost 30,000 for a under power vehicle with no back seat arm rest with cup holder. And no rear air vents? Can't do it, despite how much I love the exterior!
The Sport trim is $25K in FWD before the stealership scalping fees. That's a bargain for all the improvements, considering it's the same price asvthe Civic Sport Hatchback.
Love the design but, with how the industry and world is heading, I just don’t understand how it does not have a hybrid powertrain. Agree on the blacked-out badging. Definitely needed a dual exhaust for the Sport trim level.
Honda made a specifically different HR-V for the North American market, compared to the smaller Hybrid. The US buyers for the HR-V would prefer the reliability of this engine, and that's why it has the N/A 2.0L engine like the Civic Sport. They can always add a Sport Touring turbo and a Hybrid version later. But the Sport trim will probably be the most popular and best selling trim, just like the Civic. Like the Civic Sport, and many other vehicles, I am fine with the single exhaust tip for the HR-V Sport with this engine. If it had a higher output engine that could benefit from dual exhaust, like if they offer a Sport Touring like the Civic Hatchback later, then dual exhaust tips would be nice. As far as the chrome emblems, this is one of probably several press/demo cars. The black emblems are an OEM accessory option, but I think the Sport trim should come standard with all black emblems.
The other new HR-V is a Hybrid, that is smaller. Honda made this HR-V completely different for the North American market for a reason and purpose. The majority of potential targeted buyer demographic in this market wants a stylish, refined compact SUV that thatcis reliable, dependable, durable, and with the longevity of a Toyota Corolla, or Honda Civic with the same tried and true normally aspirated engine. They have the option to offer a turbo or Hybrid version later, but that's not their plan for initial release. They have too much things to focus on, including the subsequent release of the new CR-V and Pilot. The black emblems are am OEM factory accessory option, though I believe it should come included on the Sport Trim. Like the Civic Sport, it's a must for me, unless you have a black vehicle and want to customize it with different colors, like Gold or Red, etc. As far as the dual exhaust, I normally would want that with a vehicle with 200+ horsepower, but it's unnecessary for this and looks fine, like the Civic Sport Sedan. There are lots of sporty cars with just a single exhaust tip, some with more horsepower, but it fits the aesthetics of the vehicle.
Awesome 1st Look Review For The All New Redesigned 2023 Honda HR-V Sport Trim Level. If the Sport Trim Level Is Not Loaded So What's the exact reason for the base model LX?
The LX is the base entry level trim for the non enthusiast buyer. The Sport is the sweet spot with the sporty appearance, ride and steering. The EX-L is fir the non enthusiast who wants all the creature comforts, like the Civics. And if they come out with a Sport Touring, like the Civic Hatchback. Itvwill have all the Sport and luxury features and options fir a much higher price
Well Joe, I must say....You do the best overall reviews. And great videography! I'm looking forward to your test-drive of this vehicle since most people are worried about the low HP. And so am I. Yes, twin exhaust pipes would have been better. At least this Sport model has one though. I kind of like the look since a lot of other car makers 'try too hard' on styling'. The Hyundai Tucson robot look is an example. I'm looking to buy a new SUV at the end of the year. My choices to check out are the KIA Sportage and that new Mazda MX-50. But I'll throw this one in the mix just because it's a Honda. They last forever. (NEW SUBSCRIBER!!)
You must live in California where Mazda sells it. It doesn’t have much range. It was a rush job. Mazda has more in the pipeline thanks to Toyotas help.
And much less repairs to do if you maintain itnwell and don't abuse and thrash it. Expect it to be as reliabkevwithnthe longevity of the Civic Sport with this engine. And the Toyota Corollas
Love the price point 👍🏽 and the redesign is nice as well. The back seat USB connector is a thumbs down 👎🏽 but again, at 25k I would get that installed. Awesome review as always Joe ✌🏾
Definitely looks better than the outgoing model. The front looks a lot like a Ford Escape. Too many missing amenities to be a mid level. Thanks Joe and Lori. Nice job! Beautiful country up there. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Love that Honda improved this car. It felt stuck in 2015 for so long. It does look so much more premium than the last-gen and it finally has some updated lights and angles that add interest. I like the size, the general, shape, the new colors, and the updated design language in the interior. Everything looks pretty fresh and like how the car looks like how a modern Honda should look. Love that they threw in physical controls for your climate control unit too. The traditional gear shifter is also a huge bonus. So glad they didn't go with the same stupid electronic gear shifting approach as every other car manufacturer seems to be doing right now. I like a traditional gear selector, as I find it more intuitive to use when your in a tight spot requiring you to back up and move forward a lot. Overall, Honda did a nice job on this car
This will be called the ZR-V in Europe. We will get the hybrid powertrains as standard. We do have the HR-V here in Europe but it’s a B-segment crossover. The ZR-V (aka the HR-V US spec) is a C-segment crossover.
@@namvet1968 it starts at 22,545 for the L trim. That’s the base model. Then a middle model the LE starts at 24,795. The top trim starts at 26,575. My guess is a well equipped model will be about 30k or so

I'm on my second chevy trax and I am so sick of these companies making their COMPACT SUVs larger and larger, The whole point of a COMPACT SUV is that it;s not suppose to be as big as an SUV. So today I was driving and this car was in front of me and I had to check it out because then when I got to work the exact same car same color was parked right at the entrance to my job. I swear it was like God was saying this is your new car.
Looks almost like my 2019 Ford Escape SE with sport package.
Just said the same thing. Jacking Ford.
Not worth the price-gas mileage blows-the same price you can get a base RAV 4 bigger engine more room-no hybrid option-engine to small.
Huge ZONK for not having central armrest in the back seat. Second ZONK for not having rear air vents. The rest is fine and nice.
If you replace the Honda badge with a ford, I’d think this is a new Ford Escape
Did see one yesterday at Lia Honda.
1) assembled in Mexico (!)
2) transmission made in Mexico (!)
3) 25 MPG(city), 30MPG(highway)
4) $29K for Sport model
My take "NO"!
It's always been made in Mexico. It's better than any comparable American made , period!!!
@@winstonsalem5124
I agree with you, burritos made in mexico is much better then one made in usa!
Been WAITING for this CAR and WAITING for YOUR review! DEFINITELY worth the wait on BOTH counts!
I would totally agree with you!
No rear air vents is a big ZONK to me. Otherwise, I think it looks nice and will age well.
Hopefully the touring trim has them 🤷
I don’t understand how any and all vehicles don’t come with rear vents. So many people have kids nowadays. Those rear vents are everything.
@@waled121 BAM!
Agreed. I have the 2016 ex-l and my passengers don't like sitting in the back in this TX heat. There are no vents and no center arm rest.
@@lowrider3342444 Presently, there's only the base LX, Sport and EX-L. They have something on the back of the rear console. So it looks like possible future trims could have A/C vents and USB ports. I would just get powrrbsnks snd charging cables in the center console storage if anyone needed it. I hardly would have rear seat passengers, so not an issue for me.
Honda’s idea of “Sport” makes no sense to me on this HRV. First off how can you call it sport with no sunroof? Only the “sport” lettering gets blacked out? Running boards should be standard on the “sport” trim. Foglights, a roof spoiler, DUAL exhaust! Roof rack! Blacked out roof, black out all badges and emblems, make it a lifestyle CUV. I’m not sure what Honda is thinking.
Why not a touring trim?
Should be:
Sport
EXL
TOURING.
Thank you! There’s nothing sporty about this trim. When I think “Sport”, I’m thinking “Ohhh, so it’s got an engine with more ‘pep’ than the other trims?” Not in this case at all.
I'm a GM retiree and very drawn to the new HR-V. I love the size, love the standard equipment, and the updated exterior/interior. Over the years, my needs have changed, but it appears the new HR-V is the perfect vehicle for some of us in the senior crowd. Keep up the fantastic detailed reports on new vehicles; you are the creme de la creme of all automotive reporters!!!!
When it comes to vehicle designs Joe's one of the best, GM ought to offer him a job that he can't refuse in their design department, that Equinox of theirs is hideous, whoever design that thing ought to be fired!!
@@gregholman2930 whoever built the 3.6 in the traverse Acadia terrain and equinox needs to be fired
I am in the same boat with you. I was raised with GM cars, but after 3 Buicks and 3 Chevies, I defected, as they just have too msny problems now. I am also older, still an enthusiast, but don't need to drive too fast anymore. I was going to get a Civic Sport Hatchback, but this suits me much better for what I want and need.
I'm in my 50s and have a 2019 HRV and love mine even though I came from driving a BMW for 11 years, so I completely get what you're saying about car needs changing as time goes on. I do occasionally miss the speed and power of the BMW, but everything else about the HRV I love! plus it takes regular and gets great mileage

You forgot to show the cargo space
I know the styling on this generation has been the talk of the town but me personally I like how it looks like. A lot of people don’t like it. It’s definitely better then the last generation that’s for sure
i agree!!
I like it better on video than in pics. The Euro version is still more interesting to my eye. Major improvement over the current generation HRV. I would have a hard time choosing between this and the naturally aspirated CX-30. However the CX30 Turbo would be my choice everytime. I really wish Honda would have equipped the top trim HRV's with the 1.5T.
@@wbwayne8887 I agree the euro version styling is better. Different market different size that’s why we got this one instead
They aren’t talking about it here in my town…San Antonio
Much uglier than the previous model. Looks like everything else out there. Previous model had some character.
I like the new design. Has a Porsche HUV/X-OVER vibe. Don't like the Transmission or the manual seats on the Sport Trim.
Great review. Thanks Enjoy the beautiful scenery
Thanks for letting us share it with!
His location is about 200 miles North of me, Oregon is awfully pretty isn't it, I love it here!
Nice design. Good price point too. Honda should do well with it. Thanks for bringing it to us Joe and Lori.
Such a great review! Can’t believe I got the first comment!😀
I really appreciate your dedication and support!
They are so beautiful im from México and theres a couple of them in the streets and the first time a see one flyby i thought it was a little audi suv... it was on a red color omg .. then when i get to the red light i see the honda logo .. and i was like wtf.. but onestly you need to see it on person .. it doesnt yell cheap or small .. and im a big truck and euro cars guy. Sorry about my english saludos desde México!
Great job in my favorite Honda SUV Joe.
I’m glad you are digging this one
I want auto start with seat belt
While breaking no problem + cooling seat
I know I’m in the minority with the statement about to make, but the fact that this is still a gasoline engine just makes it a nonstarter for me. If this thing was all electric I’d be begging for Honda to take my money. But Kia has really upped the game, this HR-V just can’t compare to an EV6. I’ve always been a Honda fanboy, but they are just losing my interest with lack of all electric cars.
There making a Hybrid HR-V in 2024. All Electric is 5 years away. The fact is Electric vehicles are skyrocketing they have sell all Electric model over 50k and prices will keep going up because of the lithium batteries expense.
Hope to get one of these when they are more available and i can trade my Trax without taking a financial loss
When is hounda going to give us some HP
Never …..
For real, this is a lawnmower engine
Yes it has been years now and hounda is still at the same hp they been doing . It's kind of sad when you have a 2009 acura Dan acura that keeps up with a 2022 or 2021 Honda Accord 10 speed
@@chazmiles965 Well this 2.0na is another story. I personally think all of the other engines have plenty of power except this one. The 2.4na, 3.6na and 1.5T and 2.0T are decent enough
@@Striker50_ it can use more 305 for the 2.0 200hp for this one
That's a good HR-V Joe I love the way Honda did a dandy of a job but the 9 inch Touch screen, and the sunroof that's not included.
I totally agree with you Luis.
J ~ you guys are on the other side of the Earth Planet. I love the long over due upgrade. looking good buddy, have a great weekend - tony
We are traveling all over the place
157hp that's fair enough for a first family car. Might be getting this one but first I need a new job!
Great redesign... too bad there isn't any cup holders or connectivity for rear seat passengers. Huge zonk for me. Of course Honda is going to sell these like hot cakes. The 148 hp is a zonk as well. I think it should at least have 180 to 198 horsepower. Also have partial leather seats since it is the sport trim. I feel like Toyota and Honda are cutting too many corners to save on costs but then the customer isn't fully satisfied in the end. No rear cup holders?!?! C'mon Honda!!! Really????
158 HP, same reliable N/A 2.0L engine as the Civic Sport. It's peppy compared to the previous HR-V. It'sbnot as fast as the 1.5L turbo, but it has this engine for a specific reason: reliable, durable, dependable, with longevity, and less potential problems, maintenance and expense with the turbo, GDI, and smaller displacement engine. The people that buy this want that reliability, even more so than Civic buyers. There's a lot of improvements, and Honda wanted to keep the price low for the equipment it has. We may think it's only a few dollars more, but gor Honda, that'sna huge expense for all the vehicles. If they added those things, they would delete lots of the nice features like the LED lights and outside mirror turn signals, and such. I hardly have rear seat passengers. A/C would be nice if you do, but I csn get smsll.power banks and charging cables to pur in the center console storage if needed. However, my OCD self would want a map pocket behind the Driver's/Left seat.
@@jjacob25101 You're absolutely right JJacob. I just would like to see cup holders and at least one port for connectivity. I think for some buyers those amenities are expected especially for 2023 models and above. I have a 2022 Camry and having the kids in the back with cup holders is great. Connectivity isn't a necessity but I think even cup holders on the passenger door panels goes a long way. You're absolutely right about the engine having better longevity and less issues down the road so I understand why Honda chose that route. I just don't understand why the omission of cup holders is all.
@@MrHuff05 Like I said. Mostly for cost and getting this new model out there. I don’t think even the EX-L has a rear seat center folding armrest and cupholders. Maybe someone can make an aftermarket cupholder on the rear floor center between the seat and center console. I believe they designed the console for A/C vents where you can store a smartphone and USB ports under that as a possible later add on. Maybe a dealer installed accessory.
Looks like you travel a lot for auto reviews. Wow. Texas, Oragon, California so many more. Wow
Our travel schedule has been nuts! We appreciate you watching Rahul
I give you like before I even watch. I now is going to be excited whit some zank👍
You are so awesome thank you!
It gives some urus vibes from exterior design
My only complaint is the horsepower. It’s so slow and it’s slower than an accord. If it had more power and actual sportiness it’d be worth every penny.
Why would it be faster than an accord? That makes no sense. The CR-V isn't even faster than the Accord and it's the bigger, more luxury vehicle. Go buy a RDX or MDX if you're looking for speed.
Yeah. It's really sad this HR-V Sport is so slow for a $25K high performance vehicle.
Oh, wait! It's just a Civic based subcompact SUV with an adequate and very reliable, durable engine, not a Civic Si or Type R...
Message to Honda: Call me as soon as you drop in a hybrid, 1.5T or 2.0T.
I see what you did there!
Power is lacking badly
I love this new design! Looks so like they really have it a Japanese look! Love it
ford look
Porsche look
Awful look. Front end is embarrassing.
I stopped watching when I heard those three blasphemous letters-CVT🤦🏻♂️☠️
It sucks everything has cvt now. All Honda cars have them except for a few manuals on sporty models.
I like the redesign in almost all areas except the front grill, it's giving me previous gen kia sportage vibes and that's not a good thing
Maybe once you see it in person that will change your mind?
Im picking mine up tomorrow
I love the small suv so far for 2023!!
Its like honda took 2 ateps forward but one step back here, i mean i love the new design, the exterior is nice interior is nice but no rear ac? no rear connectivity? no arm rest? what is that? even kia seltos and hyundai creta give you those plus wireless charge and honda which is a top brand gives uys this? id rate it 2 1/2 out of 5
Check back at 300K miles and see which one is still running. There's a reason for the 100K mile warranty.
That is going to be my next car. I love the look ❤️.
Mine too I think, just wish it had a turbo!
Lol...great review. I want to buy a car everytime you do a review.
Awesome review! What a big, let down Honda just gave me with this car! Honda went cheap on the 2023 HRV. The car has a cheap, small display, one exhaust, 2.0 L dog engine, no sunroof, no rear AC Vents, and I did not see a COOLANT gauge! I bet this car is very slow without the 1.5 L turbo. I've owned Civics and CRV's since 2002 to 2021. I won't buy the 2023 HRV.
This is not the top of the line. I guess noone listens to the videos ..exl comes with the bigger screen and the moonroof and leather. This new engine has 20 hp more than the engine in the old hrv.
@@robertsn6584 some people are slow and don't understand much. For the price point it comes with a lot. And it's full of upscale fit and finish
It’s also only $25,000 which is nothing these days. And not many under 65 yrs old and male care about a coolant gauge. A warning light will illuminate if over heating happens.
Like the Civics, the engine coolant gauge is a big irk, but like commented here, this is a reliable and dependable vehicle that shoukd not overheat if you don't thrash and abuse it, drive like a maniac, jack rabbit starts, and maintain it well and frequently inspect the hoses and such. It has 20 more HP than the previous HR-V, and in comparison is much more peppy and adequate for the majority of HR-V buyers, with less potential problems, maintenance and expense than the turbo engine. Also keep in mind that earlier Civic and Corollas has 130 HP or less. This is a compact SUV, not even a Civic Sport, it is what it is.
But recently, K-Tuner released a calibration for the Civic with this same engine at about $300 that brings horsepower and torque up to non Si 1.5L turbo engine level, without the turbo and GDI. K-Tuner could tweak the calibration to optimize it for the HR-V with the ECM controls for the CVT. If you are a rabid tuner with mucho dinero, you could get the AWD Sport and drop in the detuned Type R 2.0L turbo engine from the Accord Sport and be running 260+ hp...
People need to realize a Sport Trim vehicle is not always meant to be a high performance vehicle. At least fir the standard production mass market consumer vehicles.
why the hell is the HRV in the US is different here from Southeast Asia? somebody can explain?? lol
The global HR-V is a B-segment crossover. This HR-V for North America only is a completely new C-segment crossover from Honda built on the Civic platform. Other regions are also expected to receive this new vehicle under the name ZR-V.
Thanks for the review Joe! Always watching your new videos after a hard day of work. Can't wait for your review on the 2023 BMW M2.
That means so much! I can’t wait to bring it to you
damnn the screen is so smalll
Maaaaaaaan Honda came in swinging with this redesigned HR-V here!!! My wife has one now and personally we would be hard pressed to go with anything else when it's time to get a newer car. One thing we'd definitely miss though is the magic seats and I really was hoping they'd bring that hybrid powertrain the Euro spec HR-V has to us over here at launch time. Come on Honda!!! Bring dat ting over here!!! Stellar review Joe and Lori!!!
Meh, they missed on the MPGs and power imo
How's the engine? Enough giddy-up?
The power is not inspiring but I don't think it is dangerously slow as some others have said. I just got mine a couple days ago. I had a 2019 civic hatchback and I did like the 1.5 turbo. The 2.0 is more reliable though. Imo overall a great vehicle for the price. There's always going to be things about vehicles that people don't like.
Joe Really No fog lights in any trim levels ?????
Very nice redesign. Much better looking than the previous gen.
You are so very right about that!
The European HRV is way better!!!
I like it……love that mesh stuff on dash. I also like how you find a dead end road to make a video review. Lol 👍

@@RaitisRides 👍 you got it boss
My sister is looking at an EX-L with $4,000 in options (rims, door visors, moonroof visor, black logos, all weather mats, cargo tray, and seatback protector), the EXL (in some aspects) has more features than a CRV EXL.
Finally, Honda makes attractive vehicles and ditches their ugly boy racer designs.
They are bringing some great changes.
Lauri is a fabulous camera person. I never feel like I wish she would show something I'm not seeing.
I'm not either 😊, SOMETHING seem's to be Missing 🤔
I don’t like the honeycomb thing they have going on with the air vents. I think that’s hideous. The interior stitching is giving me Nissan Altima SR
Imagine all the dust and crap and trying to clean those honeycomb vents lol
Much improved compared to my 2020 HRV Sport. A better engine and the classy civic interior dash and switch gear layout. Well done Honda.
Engine could have been way better
@@Striker50_ This market the HR-V wants the reliability and longevity. Like the Civic Sport with this engine and the Toyota Corolla. They may offer the turbo and/or hybrid later, but Honda specifically designed this for the targeted demographic that wants reliability.
No way I'm paying almost 30,000 for a under power vehicle with no back seat arm rest with cup holder. And no rear air vents? Can't do it, despite how much I love the exterior!
The Sport trim is $25K in FWD before the stealership scalping fees. That's a bargain for all the improvements, considering it's the same price asvthe Civic Sport Hatchback.
Love the design but, with how the industry and world is heading, I just don’t understand how it does not have a hybrid powertrain.
Agree on the blacked-out badging. Definitely needed a dual exhaust for the Sport trim level.
It does in other countries and looks different too. Just not in the US for whatever reason.
Honda made a specifically different HR-V for the North American market, compared to the smaller Hybrid. The US buyers for the HR-V would prefer the reliability of this engine, and that's why it has the N/A 2.0L engine like the Civic Sport. They can always add a Sport Touring turbo and a Hybrid version later. But the Sport trim will probably be the most popular and best selling trim, just like the Civic.
Like the Civic Sport, and many other vehicles, I am fine with the single exhaust tip for the HR-V Sport with this engine. If it had a higher output engine that could benefit from dual exhaust, like if they offer a Sport Touring like the Civic Hatchback later, then dual exhaust tips would be nice.
As far as the chrome emblems, this is one of probably several press/demo cars. The black emblems are an OEM accessory option, but I think the Sport trim should come standard with all black emblems.
You can actually get blacked out badges but it’s at an extra cost..
The other new HR-V is a Hybrid, that is smaller. Honda made this HR-V completely different for the North American market for a reason and purpose. The majority of potential targeted buyer demographic in this market wants a stylish, refined compact SUV that thatcis reliable, dependable, durable, and with the longevity of a Toyota Corolla, or Honda Civic with the same tried and true normally aspirated engine. They have the option to offer a turbo or Hybrid version later, but that's not their plan for initial release. They have too much things to focus on, including the subsequent release of the new CR-V and Pilot.
The black emblems are am OEM factory accessory option, though I believe it should come included on the Sport Trim. Like the Civic Sport, it's a must for me, unless you have a black vehicle and want to customize it with different colors, like Gold or Red, etc.
As far as the dual exhaust, I normally would want that with a vehicle with 200+ horsepower, but it's unnecessary for this and looks fine, like the Civic Sport Sedan. There are lots of sporty cars with just a single exhaust tip, some with more horsepower, but it fits the aesthetics of the vehicle.
Lol the sawzall saran wrap sunroof, reminds me of when Bam did that to his Lamborghini 🤣💕👍
Looks like a Ford Escape from the front. The rear part looks unfinished. And the interior is just a Civic. No thanks. But awesome review, as usual...
Cargo area?
LOVE IT
I’m glad that I could share it with you!
Awesome 1st Look Review For The All New Redesigned 2023 Honda HR-V Sport Trim Level. If the Sport Trim Level Is Not Loaded So What's the exact reason for the base model LX?
The LX is the base entry level trim for the non enthusiast buyer. The Sport is the sweet spot with the sporty appearance, ride and steering. The EX-L is fir the non enthusiast who wants all the creature comforts, like the Civics. And if they come out with a Sport Touring, like the Civic Hatchback. Itvwill have all the Sport and luxury features and options fir a much higher price
Well Joe, I must say....You do the best overall reviews. And great videography! I'm looking forward to your test-drive of this vehicle since most people are worried about the low HP. And so am I. Yes, twin exhaust pipes would have been better. At least this Sport model has one though. I kind of like the look since a lot of other car makers 'try too hard' on styling'. The Hyundai Tucson robot look is an example. I'm looking to buy a new SUV at the end of the year. My choices to check out are the KIA Sportage and that new Mazda MX-50. But I'll throw this one in the mix just because it's a Honda. They last forever. (NEW SUBSCRIBER!!)
You must live in California where Mazda sells it. It doesn’t have much range. It was a rush job. Mazda has more in the pipeline thanks to Toyotas help.
Grotesquely underpowered AND busted MPGs! ⛽

Hi
Great review, but I'm not a fan of the new design. It's mostly the front end/grill that I can't stand. The European version looks way better overall.
Love the price point 👍🏽 and the redesign is nice as well. The back seat USB connector is a thumbs down 👎🏽 but again, at 25k I would get that installed. Awesome review as always Joe ✌🏾

Awesome review as always! Huge Honda fan here, but I think this gives a Ford vibe.
Thanks for letting me Shelby Shelby it with you Mike.
Fuel consumption?

Are your hands connected to your mouth..too busy..bye bye
Lmao!
Love that Honda improved this car. It felt stuck in 2015 for so long. It does look so much more premium than the last-gen and it finally has some updated lights and angles that add interest. I like the size, the general, shape, the new colors, and the updated design language in the interior. Everything looks pretty fresh and like how the car looks like how a modern Honda should look. Love that they threw in physical controls for your climate control unit too. The traditional gear shifter is also a huge bonus. So glad they didn't go with the same stupid electronic gear shifting approach as every other car manufacturer seems to be doing right now. I like a traditional gear selector, as I find it more intuitive to use when your in a tight spot requiring you to back up and move forward a lot. Overall, Honda did a nice job on this car
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
What happened to the cargo area?
This will be called the ZR-V in Europe. We will get the hybrid powertrains as standard.
We do have the HR-V here in Europe but it’s a B-segment crossover. The ZR-V (aka the HR-V US spec) is a C-segment crossover.
He is my high school teacher ...give me a shout out pleaaaase
Hey Anuj! You are the best!
Maybe I'm in the minority here. I'd rather get the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid even though the rear seat has less legroom.
Well the Hybrid does have the fuel savings.
@@RaitisRides and the extra power.
How much will the Corolla Cross sell for? It does look very practical.
@@namvet1968 it starts at 22,545 for the L trim. That’s the base model. Then a middle model the LE starts at 24,795. The top trim starts at 26,575. My guess is a well equipped model will be about 30k or so
