CR-V vs HR-V: Which is Better?
Honda offers so many amazing models, with something in the lineup for everyone. However, knowing which model is perfect for you can be difficult. Today we’re comparing two of the brand’s most popular models—the CR-V and HR-V—to give you a better idea of which model would best fit your lifestyle. We’re going to take an in-depth look at the features car buyers care about most to help you decide.
Fuel Economy and Price
Fuel efficiency and price are two of the biggest factors for many car buyers. Because it's smaller, the HR-V takes both of these categories, but not by much. With 32* highway mpg and a starting MSRP of $23,800**, the HR-V is the best choice for drivers who prioritize cost and fuel consumption. The CR-V starts at 31,110** and has a highway mpg of 34*, which is still admirable when you consider everything this SUV offers.
Size and Comfort
For seating, both the HR-V and CR-V seat five. Both offer ample passenger space, but the CR-V does edge out the HR-V in this category. However, size can be a bit subjective. If you need that extra room and comfort, the CR-V is the winner, but the HR-V will be a star on city streets and busy parking lots.
Power and Capability
Honda is leading the segment in performance and both these models offer it in spades. The CR-V can tow up to 1,500 pounds, whereas the HR-V isn't rated for towing. The 2023 HR-V produces up to 158 horsepower, whereas the CR-V comes in at 190 peak horsepower. Of course, more power means more fuel, so it's all about what fits your lifestyle best.
