The 2026 Honda HR-V review is here, and while the ✨upgrades impress✨ with new styling, tech, and interior comfort, its real-world MPG falls short of Honda’s claims. After reviewing the CR-V Hybrid, I couldn’t believe how disappointing this part of the HR-V is. 😬
In this full review, I cover everything you need to know before buying:
✅ What’s new for the 2026 Honda HR-V
💲 MSRP pricing in Canada and the US
⚡ Engine specs and AWD vs FWD performance
⛽ Fuel economy (MPG & L/100km) tested in real-world driving
📦 Cargo space and rear seat practicality compared to competitors
🎵 Interior features, infotainment, and driver-assist technology
📝 Final impressions: Is the HR-V worth it, or should you wait for something else?
Key Fast Facts (2026 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD):
🔹 2.0L 4-cylinder with CVT
🔹 158 hp / 138 lb-ft torque
🔹 Honda estimates: 8.7L/100km (27 MPG) combined
🔹 My test average: 7.2L/100km (33 MPG) combined
🔹 Cargo space: 691L / 24.4 cu.ft. (seats up), 1,559L / 55.1 cu.ft. (seats down)
🔹 Regular fuel, 53L / 14 gallon tank
🤜 Competitor Comparions
Hyundai Kona Seats Up: 25.5 cu.ft.
Subaru Crosstrek Seats Up: 20.0 cu.ft.
