HONDA COMPACT SUVS DRIVER

Combined with the low load floor, it makes packing the cargo hold a cinch. When released, the rear seatbacks fold flat.

The HR-V's party trick is its second-row Magic Seat. The rear seat has tons of legroom, too, but headroom isn't as generous, thanks to the Honda's sloping roofline. The spacious front seats will provide enough head- and legroom for all but the tallest passengers. Most luxurious features are limited to the top-spec Touring model. Its classy well-made interior may not set hearts racing, but outward visibility is good and passenger space is acceptable. The all-wheel-drive model we tested back in 2016 managed 30 mpg on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test. The HR-V proves itself to be mighty efficient on an EPA chart however, it underdelivered in our real-world testing.

2019 Honda HR-V Gets New Look and Safety Tech.

Choppiness when driving over rough roads and body roll in cornering could be resolved with better suspension damping, but when cruising on a level road or highway, the HR-V settles into a more even ride. The HR-V retains the sprightly and eager handling of the Fit hatchback on which it's based, but don't push it too hard. Adding all-wheel drive slowed it even further, to 9.5 seconds. With front-wheel drive, the HR-V managed a rather sluggish 8.6-second 60-mph time. Slow, noisy, and unrefined, the HR-V's four-cylinder engine won't satisfy your inner street racer, and the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) exacerbates the engine's incivility.

The most notable upgrades include heated front seats, passive entry, a sunroof, and several driver assists (adaptive cruise, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist). While it obviously costs more than the lesser HR-V Sport, it has better standard features. That said, we think the mid-level EX model is the one to get. Sure, the HR-V isn't the cheapest or snazziest subcompact SUV, but it's a brilliant option for people who want one of the most practical vehicles in the class. The 2021 models will see only minor changes, with Sport models of the HR-V receiving a new wheel design and window tint on the rear windows. In our testing, the HR-V is tediously slow to accelerate, so those in need of additional pep should consider the turbocharged versions of the Hyundai Kona and Kia Seltos. The rest of the HR-V's interior is well built if somewhat blandly styled, and it's filled with plenty of creature comforts that will satisfy most small-SUV buyers. Luckily, much of what we love about the Fit continues to live on in the HR-V, including the novel Magic Seat second row, which folds down to transform the ute's cabin into a cargo-hauling champ. Given that Honda will discontinue the Fit hatchback after the 2020 model year, the HR-V will soon serve as the smallest vehicle in the brand's North American lineup. Little SUVs are all the rage, and while we figure most buyers are choosing them for their stylish exteriors or active-lifestyle image, some offerings-like the 2021 Honda HR-V-offer a surprising amount of practicality, too.
