Honda HR-V statistics span current U.S. pricing and specifications, EPA label estimates, IIHS crash-test measurements, and Honda’s regional automobile totals. The populations and periods differ: most specifications describe the 2027 U.S. model year, safety data covers tested 2023 and 2021–22 vehicles, and business figures cover Honda fiscal years.

Honda HR-V Price and Trim Statistics
Honda’s official U.S. comparison page shows three 2027 model-year trims. The listed prices are manufacturer list prices; destination charges, taxes and options may be additional.
| 2027 U.S. trim | Listed starting price | Wheel equipment | AWD availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| LX | $26,600 | 17-inch alloy wheels | Available |
| Sport | $28,400 | 18-inch alloy wheels | Available |
| EX-L | $30,450 | 18-inch alloy wheels | Available |
Source: 2027 Honda HR-V | Features & Specifications.
The comparison therefore represents 3 of 3 listed trims with Real Time AWD available. Availability does not mean every vehicle is equipped with AWD, and the cited trim set is not every version sold globally.
Honda’s 2027 comparison page also lists a 1-year/12,000-mile maintenance program. Program terms can vary by market and may have exclusions, so this is a listed program term rather than a lifetime ownership-cost measure.
Honda HR-V Engine and Fuel-Economy Data
The three compared 2027 U.S. trims share the same core engine and transmission specifications. These are manufacturer specifications, not independent dynamometer results.
- The engine displacement is 1,996 cc across LX, Sport and EX-L.
- Rated output is 158 SAE net horsepower at 6,500 rpm across all three trims.
- Rated peak torque is 138 lb-ft at 4,200 rpm, and the listed redline is 6,800 rpm.
- The valvetrain is a 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC configuration.
- All three compared trims carry a LEV4-SULEV30 CARB emissions rating.
- The continuously variable transmission ratio range is 2.526 to 0.408.

Fuel economy varies by drivetrain. EPA ratings are label estimates, not guarantees of real-world consumption, and actual results vary with driving, loading, weather and road conditions.
| 2027 U.S. drivetrain | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2WD | 26 mpg | 32 mpg | 28 mpg |
| AWD | 25 mpg | 30 mpg | 27 mpg |
The same source lists a 14-U.S.-gallon fuel tank. Nominal tank capacity does not establish usable fill volume or driving range.
Honda HR-V Dimensions, Interior Space and Weight
The 2027 U.S. HR-V has a common basic footprint across the compared trims, with small trim-specific differences in height, clearance and geometric angles.
| Dimension or measure | LX | Sport | EX-L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 104.5 in | 104.5 in | 104.5 in |
| Length | 179.8 in | 179.8 in | 179.8 in |
| Width | 72.4 in | 72.4 in | 72.4 in |
| Height | 63.4 in | 63.8 in | 63.4 in |
| Unladen ground clearance | 7.0 in | 7.3 in | 7.0 in |
| Approach/departure angles | 15.5°/20.5° | 16.0°/21.1° | 15.5°/20.5° |
Source: 2027 Honda HR-V | Features & Specifications.
The angles are geometric specifications, not evidence of off-road capability. Ground clearance is measured unladen, and loading can change it.
Interior measurements are also consistent in several areas. Front-row legroom is 41.9 inches, second-row legroom is 37.7 inches, front-row shoulder room is 56.6 inches, and second-row shoulder room is 55.2 inches.
EPA passenger volume is 98.7 cubic feet for LX and Sport and 97.3 cubic feet for EX-L. Cargo volume is 24.4 cubic feet standard and 55.1 cubic feet maximum for all three compared trims, subject to the manufacturer’s seat-configuration definitions.
Curb weight varies by drivetrain and trim:
| 2027 U.S. trim | 2WD curb weight | AWD curb weight |
|---|---|---|
| LX | 3,159 lb | 3,276 lb |
| Sport | 3,197 lb | 3,311 lb |
| EX-L | 3,221 lb | 3,336 lb |
These are manufacturer-listed weights from 2027 Honda HR-V | Features & Specifications.
Honda HR-V Crash-Test Measurements and Safety Ratings
IIHS safety data must be read by test vehicle, model year and protocol. The detailed 2023 results below describe an IIHS-tested 2023 HR-V EX-L 4-door 4WD, while the older side-test comparison covers 2021–22 models and should not be merged with the redesigned 2023–27 generation.
In the 2023 driver-side small-overlap test, IIHS recorded a 135 HIC-15 head-injury criterion value, 23 mm maximum chest compression, and 0.9 kN neck tension. The measured left/right femur loads were 1.0 kN and 0.3 kN, while left/right tibia axial forces were 2.4 kN and 0.5 kN.
The same test recorded left/right foot accelerations of 66 g and 38 g. These are instrumented-dummy measurements from one specified test configuration, not injury rates for HR-V occupants.
The updated 2023 side test produced the following instrumented measurements:
| Measure | Driver | Passenger |
|---|---|---|
| HIC-15 | 139 | 186 |
| Torso maximum/average deflection | 33/29 mm | 37/23 mm |
| Shoulder-belt lateral force | 0.8 kN | 1.4 kN |
Source: 2023 Honda HR-V.
For the older 2021–22 model population, IIHS reported Poor overall and Poor structure/safety-cage ratings in the updated side test, alongside Good ratings for driver head/neck injury and rear-passenger head/neck injury. Those categorical ratings use IIHS’s published scale and are reported in Small SUVs struggle in new, tougher side test.
Honda HR-V Regional Sales and Production Trends
Honda’s fiscal-year filings do not disclose a complete global HR-V-only unit-sales series. The following figures are Honda automobile totals or regional totals, with HR-V references retained only where Honda explicitly made them.
| Region or business | Fiscal 2024 result | Year-over-year change |
|---|---|---|
| Honda worldwide consolidated automobiles | 2.856 million sales | +19.9% |
| Europe automobiles | 103,000 sales | +22.6% |
| Asia automobiles | 468,000 sales | −7.3% |
| China joint ventures | 1.185 million sales | −4.4% |
| Asian subsidiaries production | 559,000 units | +0.5% |
| China joint-venture production | 1.163 million units | −11.0% |
Honda’s fiscal 2024 reporting covers the year ended March 31, 2024. It says Europe’s increase included higher HR-V sales, but it does not disclose the HR-V unit count in the cited passage.
The regional totals and production figures are reported in Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Form 20-F for fiscal year 2024.
Honda Brazil automobile sales rose 15.8% to 132,000 units in fiscal 2024, mainly due to higher HR-V sales, while Brazil plant production rose 17.4% to 77,000 units. Both are Honda totals, not HR-V-only counts.
For comparison, Honda North America automobile sales were 1.195 million units in fiscal 2023, down 6.9% year over year, and North American automobile production was 1.249 million units, down 1.7%; Honda attributed part of the sales decline to HR-V and Civic sales. The same filing reports China joint-venture sales of 1.240 million units, down 21.5%, with lower XR-V and VEZEL sales cited as context; those nameplates are related-market references, not identical to the North American HR-V.
Honda’s fiscal 2023 filing also reports 556,000 units of consolidated Asian-subsidiary production, up 14.1%. These fiscal 2023 figures come from Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Form 20-F for fiscal year 2023.
Honda HR-V Production Footprint and Model History
Honda’s 2019 production announcements provide historical footprint context rather than a current HR-V output series. In Mexico, Honda de Mexico reported automobile production capacity of 263,000 vehicles per year and listed HR-V among its key automobile production models when it announced consolidation of production.
The same Mexican announcement reported approximately 7,100 associates across Honda de Mexico operations. These totals cover the company and its automobile capacity, not HR-V-only workers or production.
Honda said the HR-V production shift from Guadalajara to Celaya would occur from early 2020 in Honda Announces Changes in Automobile Production Operations in Mexico.
In Argentina, Honda Motor de Argentina reported approximately 1,000 employees when it announced that HR-V automobile production would be discontinued there. That estimate covers the subsidiary, not an HR-V production headcount, and the announcement described a planned production change rather than realized future output.
The Argentina production announcement is Honda Announces Changes in Production Operations in Argentina.
These production-history measures should remain separate from current 2027 U.S. specifications and from IIHS test measurements. They describe different populations, dates and purposes: capacity and employment in 2019, tested safety performance for specified model years, and manufacturer specifications for the 2027 U.S. model year.
