2016 Honda HRV Review Top Gear And Interior

2016 Honda HRV Review Top Gear And Interior - Meanwhile, HR-V, all-new small crossover, helped thwart any attempt to push me into the canal. It's fast, it's agile, and it was surprisingly comfortable, with thoughtful interior package. HR-V is the next star in the Honda lineup. Built on the same platform as the Honda Fit, HR-V provides a solid performance and plenty of space. It takes some of the best attributes of the Fit, but they are much more attractive package sheetmetal. Of soft-touch materials and Magic Seats second row to the engine fresh and well-tuned suspension, HR-V is a great vehicle for novice family, one person with pets, or others who seek a reliable, stylish, efficient, and enjoyable transportation.

That's the thing about Honda. It remains one of the safest bets in the automotive world. A well-earned reputation for reliability often come with a warning that a vehicle is boring. Accord, Civic, and Fit only perpetuate the idea. But in the category Crossover, Honda dollar trend. CR-V, Motor Trend SUV of the Year, combining style with efficiency, and HR-V furthers it. HR-V, which comes in three trim levels - LX, EX, EX-L Navi - running on a Honda 1.8-liter SOHC four-cylinder engine. It produces 141 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. A number of somewhat lower, but still able to give this a lot of small crossover power. On Interstate 95, HR-V has a solid acceleration and continues with speeders on the way to Key West, Florida. On State Road A1A, HR-V quick maneuvering to block intruders trying to cut me. The electric power steering feels well-weighted with a nice snap back to the center. Hampered bodied HR-V also makes it very easy to change whether in a crowded parking lot or heavy traffic. One complaint by driving the HR-V is that it's hard, let a lot of road noise into the cabin.

Although the six-speed manual is available on FWD LX and EX models, the majority of HR-Vs sold will use Honda's continuously variable transmission. This vehicle includes paddle shifters, which most people will never use. (They work well, however, and downshifting to take some extra torque does not work, even if it is an achievement rather imaginary.) Moreover, this is Honda's first to combine an electronic brake, which allows for new features such as hills early help and brake continues automatically. HR-V using a front suspension and a torsion beam rear fully independent on 17-inch wheels to provide compliant and seamlessly. You may hear the concrete seams as you cruise down the road, but you will not feel them.

The bigger story for these vehicles in the cabin. HR-V comfortably, can easily fit five adults, and still offers plenty of cargo space - 23.2 cubic feet behind the second row. Magical interior configurability. You can fold down the second row to 58.8 cubic feet of space. If you have more items, you can also fold the front passenger seat down for additional space. And, of course, the second row folds down not only but also folds to allow the objects to stand. Honda also showed that the second-row seats folded up to create a good space for the pet because the floor is lower than if you try to put Fido behind. It may also save some feathers from adhering to the second-row seats, but I was not allowed to bring my dog to the program, and he did not know how to type. The flexibility that creates a lot of options for HR-V crossover others simply do not allow. It would act as a vehicle that is much larger than the 169.1-inch body showed. (A Honda Civic was 10 inches long.)

Overall, HR-V interior looks sharp. Asymmetric dashboard looks modern, and most soft contact media. I prefer digital volume keys instead of swiping the screen volume, but still works well on a 7-inch color screen above the center stack. (The base model HR-V has a 5-inch color screen that is smaller). The whole cabin, fresh design and functionality right. It has all the modern features customers expect, including Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free phone operation, two USB ports (on EX and EX-L models), and lots of storage drawers at the door. Honda even includes a storage tray at the base of the center stack below the level shifter that would probably be a parking lot for mobile phones. No fancy features enough to make owners feel like they got a high-end crossover with low-end price. Little things like push-button start, Siri Eyes Free integration, and upgrade six-speaker, 180-watt stereo system will reward drivers whenever they get behind the wheel. It can come as loaded as the customer wants. HR-V lineup starts with the front-drive, manual-transmission LX at $ 19,995 including destination charge, and tops out at $ 26,720 for all-wheel-push EX-L with navigation.

Unlike Fit, HR-V offers the driver a little higher riding position and outline of sight. Honda Lane Watch, which uses a camera on the passenger side exterior mirror and displays a video screen mounted on the center of the pile, I did a good job of seeing what can not. Miami driving requires you to always keep a watchful eye to hide the car in your blind spot. This is what you do not see a really dangerous. Conservative exterior sporty and should age well. It's well proportioned, with the wheels pushed to the edges. Some simple character line helps determine the vehicle. It does not have to look too strong or too sporty because it is not good. That my concerns with the HR-V is not in the consumer side but more on Honda. As Americans continue to move out of the sedan and crossover in, HR-V will be the default for customers purchasing Honda Civic instead? Efficiency interior makes HR-V alternative and certainly more utilitarian. Good fuel economy and solid performance is also a good sign for this small crossover. In both cases, I do not think Honda will complain too loudly. This new addition to the lineup will be treated like family during the holidays. Welcome home.
