2018 Honda HRV Review - Premium Cars ?
The 2018 Honda HR-V is a small crossover SUV that’s perfectly acceptable as an economy-car substitute. It puts packaging over performance, gas mileage before great handling. We think its priorities are in order, and we give it a 6.5 out of 10. Carried over with only paint and wheel changes, the 2018 HR-V comes in LX, EX, and EX-L editions. Honda sells some HR-Vs with a 6-speed manual, but most go out the door with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive costs extra, and only is offered on CVT-equipped models. PLEASE SUSCRIBE : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwCMxl_WoAk3kCrJj1V3k-w Honda sets the HR-V apart from rivals like the Jeep Renegade with a curvy hatchback silhouette. It’s a playful shape with some swole fenders and tucked-away door handles that don’t entirely add up. The interior’s better: it’s a simple economy-car cabin, with better trim than the related Honda Fit. The HR-V’s performance is best seen through a ride-quality lens. Its 141-horsepower 4-cylinder doles out fair acceleration on city streets with only a driver aboard. Anything more and it feels taxed, despite paddle shift controls that give the driver access to pre-selected “gears.” Handling is benign, but moderately sized wheels and good tuning give the HR-V a smoother ride than its short wheelbase might indicate. Gas mileage, at up to 31 mpg combined, is excellent. The HR-V reigns over its class with a flip-folding rear seat that kicks up its bottom cushion. It’s not magic, it’s good engineering, and it gives the HR-V a tall load space right behind the front passengers. The rear seats fold the other way, too, and expose a big cargo bin of up to 58.8 cubic feet. The HR-V’s crash-test scores from the IIHS disappoint, though federal scores are fine. A rearview camera comes standard, but the HR-V doesn’t have automatic emergency braking. For about $20,000, it does offer the usual power features standard, along with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Leather, navigation, a big touchscreen, and a side-view camera come on more expensive models. 2018 honda hrv, 2018, honda, hrv, apple car play, carplay, apple, android auto, android, wifi, atlanta, georgia, new hrv, honda hrv, 2018 accord, hrv review, hrv features, type r, honda clarity, atlanta honda guy, philip lombardi, hennessy honda, lx, ex, exl, honda navigation, 2017 honda, garmin navigation, honda sensing, how to, bluetooth, honda civic, honda accord, honda odyssey, 2018 odyssey, honda ridgeline, honda fit, honda crv, 2018 crv, civic si, toyota chr, chr vs hrv, cars channel, type, 2018 honda hr-v, new honda hr-v, honda hr-v 2017, exterior, interior, auto show 2017, 2017 honda hr-v
