New Honda HR-V for Sale near Encinitas, CA
The 2026 Honda HR-V is a simple, uncomplicated thing. And that’s its most appealing attribute.
Available in three trim levels equipped with an underpowered engine and optional all-wheel drive (AWD), the HR-V is an unremarkable subcompact SUV. A refresh for the 2026 model year adds an improved standard infotainment system and minor styling and interior modifications, but nothing that addresses this model’s primary shortcomings. The changes include a larger touchscreen with faster response times, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging.
Verdict: Simply put, the 2026 HR-V is not one of the best subcompact SUVs. It is dreadfully slow, disappointingly inefficient, and barely meets the minimum technological expectations of the young people who might want to buy it. Plus, it demonstrates none of the innovation seen in the original HR-V and in some competitors in the small SUV segment.

Loving this car. Originally was looking into the CR-V, but after test driving the HR-V, we ended up loving the size and the features. We love the wireless CarPlay, the sunroof, the heated seats, and the safety features. All around just what we were looking for.
Great car. Second one I’ve bought. Bought these for my daughter for fuel efficient and safety reasons.
Excellent car with just the right amount of features. Car rides very smoothly with good visibility and power. We were looking at the CRV and RAV but we chose HRV for its value, size and performance.
Fantastic car! Cant stress enough how much I enjoy it right now. Exactly what I was looking for
Great looking nice handling. Very comfortable ride. Lacks responsiveness. Great price.
