Honda SUV Comparison: CR-V vs HR-V

If you are thinking of purchasing a new Honda SUV, knowing the biggest differences between the popular CR-V and HR-V will help you make a good decision. Both vehicles are excellent choices, but their differences are important to point out so you are making the right decision. Team Honda has both ready and waiting for you, so take a look at these comparisons and then come by to see for yourself.

Price Point:

Both vehicles have various options and trim levels, but the HR-V is cheaper at the starting trim level, carrying that lower point across its options. If the price is the most important thing for you, be sure to take into consideration which options you really value and which you can live without. 

Acceleration:

If those first few seconds of the drive are an important part of your driving experience, you will find more acceleration power with the CR-V. You will see the turbocharged engine thrive whether you are just starting your drop or merging on a freeway.

Comfort:

If you plan on heading out for long days on the highway, staying comfortable in your seat is a big factor. The HR-V seats are more firm, while the CR-V seats are less so. Each Honda SUV has great leg and headroom for adults, but knowing what your preferences are for seats could go a long way in deciding between these two.

Interior Highlights:

The features in both of these vehicles are top-notch. There is no winner or loser in this category. The large display screens, USB charging options, Bluetooth connectivity, and infotainment systems are sure to keep you connected, informed and entertained wherever you are going.  

Cargo Space:

This factor is important to those who know they often pack their vehicles to the brim. The CR-V is an overall larger vehicle and also has more cargo area. The HR-V sits in the subcompact SUV category, which is reflected in the cargo area that it offers. 

As you can see, there are a lot of highlights for each of these vehicles, but knowing what you want will allow you to make the most informed decision for your unique needs and wants. The crew at Team Honda are happy to answer any questions you might have and get you behind the wheel for a test drive of both so you can see these differences and similarities for yourself.
