Honda has unveiled an impressive lineup of SUVs for 2017. And two of the more popular options from this cast of cars are the 2018 Honda HR-V and the 2017 Honda CR-V. Let’s take a look at a comparison of these two models to make sure you get in the right SUV for you.
Price
Of course, your budget will factor into your decision for any new vehicle you buy. And Honda has SUV options for any income level.
The Honda HR-V provides a more budget-friendly entrance, beginning with the LX trim and its affordable price. The CR-V caters to those who are looking to spend a bit more, with the LX trim starting at a higher price point, all the way up to the upscale Touring trim.
Luxury
As should be expected given their respective price points, the Honda CR-V offers a little bit more in terms of luxury. With seats, steering wheels, and shift knobs draped in leather, the CR-V is a Honda experience you likely haven’t had before.
With heated front seats and an Automatic Climate Control System, the HR-V gives you everything you need with nothing you don’t.
Performance
The HR-V hums around at a comfortable 141 horsepower, giving drivers no more than what’s necessary for the daily grind. The CR-V can push up to 190 horsepower for consumers that like to differentiate between a drive and a ride.
Appearance
The CR-V features a body that is longer, wider, taller, and heavier than the HR-V and a style that is slightly more rugged. With its more compact body and unique roofline, the HR-V gives off a sleeker, sportier look.
Technology
A multi-angle rearview camera, a 7” Display Audio Touchscreen, and USB portability highlight some of the bells and whistles you’ll find inside the cabin of the CR-V. Not to be outdone even as an economy option, the HR-V boasts the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System and HondaLink® for easy music streaming and social media use.
Safety
The CR-V comes loaded with all the safety attractions you’d expect at its price point, such as Honda Sensing. This suite of safety features includes a Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control, a Collision Mitigation Braking System, and a Road Departure Mitigation System.
Meanwhile, the HR-V executed the fundamentals well enough to join the CR-V in earning a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Awards
Both the Honda HR-V and CR-V were named among Kelley Blue Book’s 2017 “Best Family Cars.” Additionally, the HR-V was recognized as one of 2017’s “Best Cars for the Money” by U.S. News & World Report.
The CR-V went on to be recognized as one of Kelley Blue Book’s “10 Most Awarded Cars of 2017” while earning a Top Safety Pick+ recognition from the IIHS.
