#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2023 Honda HR-V subcompact crossover vehicles. The new HR-V is built on Honda’s enhanced global architecture that combines the best of the CR-V platform with the new 11th generation Civic platform. The new Honda HR-V has a 2L 4-cylinder matched to a CVT with 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. FWD and AWD options are available. There have been improvements to the ride, handling and overall refinement. In the city and once up to highway speeds the HR-V sails along but when accelerating quickly on the highway, the engine gets louder, a little more power would be nice for those passing moments. The all-new 2023 Honda HR-V offers 7” of ground clearance and is bigger than the outgoing model, it is longer by over 9” and almost 3” wider. Rear legroom is excellent for this category and the cargo area is also bigger with a low lift over height making loading large or heavy items easier. Standard features include, a 7” touchscreen, available 9”, 7” driver display, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, available wireless, manual driver and passenger seat, heated front seats and 17” wheels. Most of the extra features are on the top trims like a moonroof, a wireless charger, the larger touchscreen with navigation and leather trimmed upholstery. There is no offering of ventilated front seats, heated rear seats or a power driver or passenger seat. In the US, a power driver seat is available on the top trim. For fuel economy, the HR-V gets 9.4L/100 km, 25 MPG city and 7.8L/100 km, 30 MPG highway. This Honda is expensive and priced higher than its competitors, FWD starts at $28,730 CAD/$23,650 USD, AWD $31,030 CAD/$25,150 USD, Sport FWD $25,650 USD, Sport AWD $33,930 CAD/$27,150 USD, EX-L Navi FWD $27,450 USD, EX-L Navi AWD $37,130 CAD/$28,950 USD.

Well done! I'm glad you called them out on it. Big Honda fan, but what they're doing with their prices across the lineup is disgusting!
It's called inflation. Every car company is raising prices significantly. If you can't afford an HR-V, get a better job.
@@ThirdBrainLives I am a wealthy man, thank you! I got what I got by spending wisely. Paying $40k for an HRV is plain stupid. All your Costco savings won't make up for it 🤣
@@ThirdBrainLives they listed several cars from several brands in sub and compact SUVs that are cheaper than this car....
@@ThirdBrainLives It's not inflation, it's called gouging and Honda has gotten very good at it recently. Why is it that Toyota can sell the Corolla starting in the low 20k but Honda sells the civic starting in the mid 20k range.
@@ThirdBrainLives Not true, Toyota has raised their prices a little bit but still very affordable especially their hybrids.
I’ve owned Honda’s my whole adult life. This new generation of Honda vehicles is the first time I wouldn’t consider buying one. I just find them totally boring.
I think you guys are the best‼️
It's a real joy to watch you two review cars. Great synergy & so informative. Well done. 🤗
Great husband and wife car reviews. I've always enjoyed your videos, very informative, lots of tips, and honest reviews. Thanks for sharing, more power to you and your channel.
Glad you like them, thank you for the kind words - Andrea
Those "cheaper" competitors are selling cars that burn oil at 15,000 miles. Hondas hold their value for a reason.
Wow I'm so bummed I thought it had enough promise but it didn't stack up , great review thanks for as usual you honest opinion
Appreciate ya'll!!!!
Yall are best!! Thanks
Very well done, I like how you guys make it fun !!
Nice redesign. The rear end styling is rather Audi-esque - I'm thinking Q5. The cost, powerplant, lack of rear arm rest, cup holders, and USB in the rear command center is shameful.
The rear end looks more Mercedes GLC to me.
Great video as always guys! I used to like Honda years ago when I owned a 2005 Civic 4 door. Nothing fancy but was pretty solid and good price and lasted us over a decade with very few issues. Their recent styling and pricing (cars AND parts) have gone overboard IMO and honestly there are just too many better options out there to consider. Plus, this looks too much like a rip off of the Porsche Cayenne in body styling. I applaud you calling Honda out on the pricing issue. It needs to be said and you guys said it perfectly.
Great job! Brand new design which is really good! The face looks clean and simple, so as the tail. I like it. thanks for sharing!!!
Got mine (base model fwd) 3 weeks ago and so far its exactly what i've expected.. Very happy to get this engine instead of the turbo one since I got the dillution problem back in 2017 with the crv. the power is ok even if you pass vehicules.. it just revs more doing it. Just got back from vacation and it did between 6.5-7.1 liter/100km (highway) with 3 person in the car and full of luggage but in the city its more like 9.1-9.4 (with no cargo) .. Only negative thing i found is the center console seem to be screwed to some weak bracket..
My fwd 2013 Rav4 with 23 cu. ft. more cargo space and its 2.5L without cvt gets the same L/100 km
I used to be a huge Honda fan. Had Acura TSX and CRV. However, I had to go with Kia this time because of their price increase. They are using chip shortage as an excuse to jack up their price significantly.
I started noticing Honda raising prices and eliminating base trims before the chip shortage began. Now they are doing it on every model.
Thanks for the very honest review!
I love all of your reviews! Can you please tell me if the seats were comfortable or whether they were hard like Mazda?
Great review! I agree 100%. The weakness (again!) is the underpowered engine. Instead of spending 30k on this, I decided on a used Volvo XC40 for a couple of grand more. No comparison. If they made this into an affordable PHEV, it would be a game changer. Unfortunately, Honda's are no longer affordable vehicles for many people.
I test drove this today. A Sport front wheel drive. The engine felt perfectly adequate. At urban/suburban speeds, it actually felt peppy. Only at highway speeds did it feel weaker, but still adequate.
Space and comfort inside are very impressive, except for the rear cargo space, where it gets blown away by the CRV (the dealership has a CRV right next to it and we opened it up and compared features).
Honestly, I was impressed. Unless you need a huge cargo space, this is a very fun and adequate vehicle.
I feel like the class up vehicle's base engine should always be available as a top model option for the subcompact vehicles. The CR-V has a more powerful hybrid on the top trim so there is no reason the HR-V couldn't at least for now have the turbo on a Sport Touring model.
currently own a 2016 Honda Civic EX. Been a good car, no issues. Looking for a light off road (forest service roads) SUV. Most of what you say about the HRV i can live with. One plus for me IS the engine. I really hate GDI engines (extra $$ maintenance with carbon issues) so the Honda is appealing for its port injection. Would get the top trim but what really erks is the sound system. The top trim really needs the Bose sound that is in other Honda models. Why is it so hard to even do aftermarket upgrades? Seems simple to just swap out speakers and the amp. Add in a subwoofer. I looked into doing this for the Civic but not so easy because of the headunit.
So right now, (even tho they have GDI) i am strongly leaning on Mazda CX30 and Subaru Forester. (or Crosstrek). The only problem with Kia is its a Kia (bic lighter of cars. Doesnt last long and is disposable)
Excellent review. I applaud you for mentioning the cons that really needed to be said. To me, this is a failed redesign. It is no longer an HRV. We had one for a year. I hated the CVT but as a 2nd or 3rd vehicle it served its purpose well. It was roomier than expected, magic seats saved me a few times, handled ok, decent on gas and reliable with a proven engine. It was extremely cheap to maintain and long term, every part was cheap even in an accident. I even liked how it looked. Now it's hideous looking, bloated, too heavy for that engine, bad on gas, far far too pricey. In think ours was very well equipped for its class at 28k CDN. Now they want 37k??? Some will buy it because its a Honda but if any other brand made this, it would sit on lots forever or turned into rentals. Honda is living in a vacuum lately. That HRV we had, is now a cx5 gt. Honestly, go get the Mazda.
This vehicle is not 37K, not sure what you are talking about, maybe in Canada?? The 2023 HRV EX-L is 30,500 in the USA. The MPG is very similar to the old HRV.
@bettysmith4527
In Canada after taxes and with AWD it's roughly around there so yeah.
That being said a CX-5 is even more expensive so I'm not sure where they're coming from in that regard.
Yes there are cheaper alternatives to this however they really aren't any better in most regards and are probably a lot less reliable so there's that.
I agree that it seems a bit pricey for what it is but as far as new (affordable) crossovers are concerned it's one of the better options rn.
Marking it off the list!! Thanks!
Also in Mexico the price premium is crazy. My mom just got one top of the line and it was priced almost as high as the top tier RAV4 and she could have gotten a mid-tier Tiguan. But she is very loyal to the Honda brand and she loves her HR-V.
Love the video. The car is so so. It is great next gen design language from Honda. The power inadequacy was not addressed from the previous model. Some very apparent cost cutting tactics in the rear seat. The low sales numbers will send the message. Best to wait a couple of years for an updated version that may places it as a more competitive vehicle in Canada. Honda, are you watching and reading?
Hilarious the way Zack couldn't wait until vital stats to mention the ridiculous price (several times) :) Great overview, would be a good option at lower price and with magic seats and cupholder armrest added
Back in 2020 when I was looking for a vehicle I checked 2020 honda civic LX and the dealer after doing the math wanted $33k Canadian, so I went to Toyota and checked the 2020 Corolla LE and out of the door for $22.7k Canadian... these two trims are best comparison and also I was getting more from Toyota so I ended up with them. My main point is Honda is overrated and their prices are too much for what you get compared to competition.
Great review! Question who are the competitors to this specific vehicle?
I love your critical reviews. Too many are just throwing flowers for a loan car. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Great job. I thought this car was a real winner, but you definitely brought up some very good points. Things need to be improved to this vehicle
I have always has "sport", "eco", and "winter" modes built into my manual transmission vehicles. Just a matter of pressing the clutch and changing the gear at the appropriate time.
Honest review! Love it.
Thank you!
Kudos for the Spoon album on the Carplay display. Great album.
Also: physical buttons and nice materials. Not a lot of piano black. How to make people happy. Well done, Honda.
Pricing is the problem, not just HRV and all their models in general are overpriced compared to competition
Its a major redesign that has a huge improvement of its unremarkable predecessor. Based on Civic architecture truly gives it much better handling and driving experience. What I can get a HR-V in the same showroom, can get a Civic hatchback, which is more attractive. Its a hatchback and not a compact SUV. That's what I chose before. If I have to choose again, it will be the same.
Wish they had the vents in the back, but there is cup holders in the doors, and that is fine with me, I don’t have many back seat riders anyway, and if they do want to bring drinks it can always just be closed containers.
I was just thinking when this video is gonna drop just then it dropped 😂😂
Magic seat
Without a doubt the best hands down small engine turbo I have driven was the 1.6 turbo charged Kona Ultimate that I had for three years. Mated to the dct it was about as perfect a match as you will ever find.
Hondas have long left me unimpressed for years. Bring back that old civic hatch from the 80s /90s.
I would own the Seltos way before even considering the HRV.
Amen! 🥳🤗👍
Honda is going downhill since the Fit
Seltos is a very good alternative, way better!!
Good review 🙏
Good review and honest one! For the same price you can get an outlander for cheaper and better fuel efficiency, you mentionned the rogue and rav4 too. I have a story thats says a lot about Honda, i went to buy an SUV 4y ago and was trying the CRV, when i tried to deal for the car, they said 6% interest and the reason for this is Honda is so good and reliable that its ok to buy it at a high price with high interest, they are crazy doesn’t make sense to use reliability of the brand to put high price and interest. So I went for a Nissan rogue haha, they just lost forever a costumer.
I just bought one. The thing is they are actually in stock. Rav 4 Hybrids are going for 75,000+ in Alberta right now. Corolla Cross is nowhere to be found. I don't think the price is really higher than other things in its class right now. Loaded Taos was exact same price as well. Edit: Year old Kia Seltos also going for 37,000+ here.
Questions:
For top trim model but without hybrid.
1a. What is the engine size, 1.5L or 2L?
1b. Is it equipped with paddle shifter
2. if without hybrid & with 2nd row seats folder, is the floor flat or there is a "hunch back" regardless?
1a 2 Litre engine.
1b nope
2. Yes the seats fold flat
This is an SUV that you buy now and turn over to your new born in 16 years because it will still be running fine, but that's about it. Andrea rocks 😍
This is such a great review on why is this so expensive
No cup holders in the back?!
Maybe I haven’t seen it, but what’s your pick for this size non plug-in hybrid SUV overall?
I love your reviews , for some reason ground clearance is very important for me and you do not mention ground clearance in some videos, even the manufacturers make it so hard to find that specification on the website, I rely on your videos to tell me the ground clearance but it is missing in some videos like this one.
Was in Europe last week and saw their HRV version, looks a zillion times better!!!
Honda blew it. The old HRV was a ,'large' subcompact. The magic seats are great. Keep the old HRV but add the 2 litre engine. The new price is outrageous. It seems Honda is getting their cars larger and more expensive. Bring back the old Fit and HRV.
Thats why i bought the ilx instead of the civic or new integra.
The global version HRV is amazing if Hybrid AWD is available, you still retain the utility of magic seats. Who doesn't like 50 MPG?
@@ArseneLupin786 so you paid 30k for a over 10 year old car. I mean that's what a ILX is new just some upgrades to the exterior and overtime they added a dct. Just number a old accord it would have saved you 20k or it would have been smarter to just burn your money then buy a old car they call new...lol 😂
@@robertblack6630 the accords are heavily marked up. I got the 2022 ilx as it was discounted and I preferred the way the DCT drove over the 1.5T in the Civic. Plus civic felt too big compared to the ILX.
@Level 70 agreed. A lot of their products are on par with Acura or Infiniti prices, thus you rather just go with them. Nonetheless I think their prices and interest rates r still better than Toyota.
Great video!!! I’m a Honda fan but I would go with the q3 or the Subaru. Pricing, power, and cup holders.
Hrv has a starting price of 24k. its a cheap starter car, so obviosuly less power. But You can add cupholders as an Add-on :P
I think Honda failed with this one with the price and didn't push the envelope in the styling department
That is a beautiful puppy at 3:44 of your video. Was more impressed with the dog than the car.....
So cute, sweet dog!
Thanks for the balanced review of the CRV.
Whitegoods on wheels.
I am driving the new KIA Sportage GT in Australia and loving it!
Honda terminated 36 of its dealerships' franchise agreements in June, 2021 in Australia. Useless.
I support Honda’s decision to not have a turbocharged power plant… yet. They’ve had some reliability issues with their turbos and this NA engine, albeit average in power, is a brilliant one when considering reliability. The price of this Honda being a bit too high might be a problem. But it will sell well. I do like it… but not more than that VW Sportwagon… even used. Thanks for the video.
They really have issues with turbos? Can’t imagine buying a car in the last 30-40 years without a turbo or two
TRY a VW they rock!
Forgot to mention, no rear A/C vents or USB ports, even the Toyota corolla cross offers that!!!! They totally forgot the rear passengers, deal breaker for me!
Good decision
Really thought they would mention the Subaru crosstrek more especially with the optional 2.5L I get 34mpg city/highway
what are the cheaper competitors?
My 2015 CRV has a 2.4L engine with 185HP and 9.5L/7.8L fuel economy, memory seats, power tail gate, and 4 rear cup holders, all for $35K, so 8 yrs later Honda came up with a HRV 2.0L engine with only 150HP, a worse fuel economy, and no rear cupholder for $37k? Can't even beat its own game after all these years lol.....
Another great review, thanks Zack and Andrea, I enjoy watching your videos relaxing with my Timmy's
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yum Timmy's, have you ever tried their espresso, delicious.
What a life to envy!
Nice review and forgive me if I’m wrong but you folks did not talk about any of the safety features that come with the EX-L trim , I.e. adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, collision detection and active lane keep assistance. That is of course unless Honda does not include these safety options on the EX-L trim in Canada 🤔
Ordered mine. ExL in urban gray pearl.
You are so right !
Just booked😍😊
Great video and channel! I know your pricing was a shot to Canada but our top of the line HRV was $29k before taxes, a similar RAV4 with leather and moonroof was $37k. $8k more and it should be, they are different sizes. It does seem US is priced right but I hope Canada made a correction.
I saw a 2 door in a parking lot yesterday. Looking for more info on it.
Perfect timing
I love the HRV sport
Zach is the peoples champion!
He always brings the topic of price to the table. Vehicles have become something more than just something to take you to points A to B. If the prices are gonna be that ridiculous then at least give people their money’s worth.
It's not just Zack, I am the people's champion too! We both talk price all the time and what's affordable and what is not.
@@andreaspencer9813 I stand corrected! You both do a great job! Love the honesty you guys give in your reviews.
@@anandr1385 Thank you! Glad you like them.
Thanks for this review. I always enjoy your couple reviews! Personally, I find the new HRV VERY underwhelming. I would actually prefer the previous generation! I think the design of this new one is bland and borderline ugly. The engine would be great in something lightweight, but is too underpowered for this. No magic seats. No rear armrest. Fuel economy is just okay. Prices are way too high. I’m not even a fan of the interior hexagon grill. How will you clean behind that once dust starts to settle? Sorry to say this as I like Honda generally (my old CRX was one of my favorite cars!), but this new vehicle is a big fail in my opinion.
Good review! Just absurd pricing in Canada -- & so much missing on this vehicle with the goofy grille; I try not to lol whenever I see it. Honda really blew it with this 'restyled' HR-V; such a disappointment!
In the U.S., though, the 2023 HR-V does come in a couple of stylish new colors, but that is all I can say for it.
I look forward to your review of the upcoming 2023 Corolla-Cross hybrid. Look out, Honda ...
My dear mum, who’s looking for her ‘hooray for retirement compact hybrid SUV’, had her heart set on the hybrid HRV. Well, that is until we found out Honda only offers a mere four-seater HRV in our country. Needless to say she was super disappointed.
Mum is a huge fan of Honda (and Japanese cars in general) since she’s owned a very dependable Accord for 20 years, and loved her old Subaru before it. I’m hoping there are better options for her out there, but as her only daughter lol I’m admittedly not much of a car person. The detail and care you put into your incredibly informative reviews is much appreciated from a newbie like me! Our relatives are keen on replacing their old Nissan Pathfinder with another Japanese brand SUV, so we’ll tag along with them to see what all these brands have to offer.
hi guys! what is the better and cheaper vehicle than HRV? nice car review thou as always cheers!
A Corolla Cross for the same category. If you bought a RAV4 Hybrid, you would pay the same and get a lot more vehicle for the price.
@@gavinparmar1316 Thanks for the info👍
Not sure why so many complaints about the acceleration! It’s fine! I just recently purchased the ‘23 EXL, FWD and have had absolutely NO problems merging into traffic on the interstate. I traded my ‘22 civic for this and they honestly drive the exact same! If speed and power is what you want, wouldn’t a BMW X1 be more appropriate?
When you show prices in US dollar, are they just direct conversion of the Canadian model prices or actual prices of the US models?
US prices from the US Honda site.
Actual US prices from the Honda USA website.
Good looking car, appropriately conservative given the target market. The same fascia on a Civic looks a little too tame because the Civic demo should skew a little younger but on a subcompact crossover, spot on. Engine is dated but reliable. Pricing? If it’s overpriced then it won’t sell and dealers will have to start discounting. If it’s underpriced then dealers will raise the price from MSRP. At least in the U.S. Capitalism, you take the good with the bad.
PS: Three VinFast dealerships just opened in my area. Will have to go for a look see and maybe a test drive 🙂.
What’s missing? A 1.5 Turbo. Who needs a transmission sport mode.
I like the duo, a very vibrant review.
👍MM
Car makers seem to listen to Andrea and Zach. I expect that major improvements will come to the new HR-V : )
I can't believe you did not mention the crazy price of this vehicle
OK so a mid-level hybrid Rav4 with 60 more hp, more space and 30%+ better fuel efficiency is cheaper than this HRV. I'm scared to imagine what they're going to charge for the CR-V.
my thoughts exactly. The Crv will be 50k top trim. Plus it's missing A lot of features.
As a long time Honda owner and fan(89 Civic Si, 94 Civic Si, 98 Acura EL, and currently a 12 Fit Sport) I got say, this thing looks ugly boring. It like the designers looked at the current Ford Escape egg blob design, and wondered, "What if we made the HR-V more ugly and boring than a Ford Escape?" Also, aside from the absolute Honda die-hards, and even then. I think that is a tough sell, with this pricing/features deficit compared to it's competition, I wouldn't surprised if this model is dead in 2 years due to poor sales. I huge misstep for Honda here.
Not to be confused with the European HR-V which is a B-segment crossover.
We will get this vehicle in Europe but under the name ZR-V. We will get hybrid powertrains as standard.
Nice overall redesign. Should put the old 2.4l from CR-V/Element/Accord instead of this 2.0l 4 cylinder engine.
Honda prices in Canada tend to not be competitive. Every time I look at cars I always consider and like Honda but I always buy another brand (Mazda most recently) because of value for money.
Yes
Bingo man! People desire for this brand then move on to the next dealership. Toyota here I come.
Good car . Recommended
Coming from an Accord I was considering an hrv but ultimately decided to put in a little more and get a CRV, so glad I did bc I keep seeing jaded hrv buyers who hate them!
its called a "Starter Car" for a reason. People who buy this usually shop for other cars like Kia Soul, Nissan Kicks and Hyundai Venu. And Honda has built a car which completes with these bad cars and is slightly better :D
I’ve never heard of no cup holders or arm rest…odd for Honda to mess that up.
So strange, I can't believe it, I'm still in shock.
What modern vehicle doesn’t have rear seat arm rests and cup holders? Very puzzling indeed!
@@redmusichouse Who made this final decision to not add them?
@@andreaspencer9813 the funny part is 2020 civic LX the US version doesn't even cup holders either and also no BSM. BSM was only added on civics for 2022 models which shows you why they so behind to competition.
Will it come in a Plug-in Hybrid? I want a Green License Plate!
This is a fair and accurate review. I don’t see this selling well in the US (for now). I think the Civic platform is a good upgrade for size and handling. Styling outside and in is nice. Mileage, poor acceleration, and lack of value vs. other options will be the problem. Until Honda improves hp and torque, this is a car for brand loyalists only who need a little more space and reliable (if weak) engine.
I dunno the old one outsold the Subaru crostrek last year in the US
Great review guys. Yes the price is crazy, I wonder for that price if you get more than one light dusting of paint that peels off after 5 years. The parade of Honda vehicles with this paint problem is truly embarassing...
So true!
It’s a shame Honda didn’t bring us the Japanese spec Vezel. It looks much more up market and would bring Honda closer to Mazda styling
Magic seats only work on the FIt based platform because of the gas tank location. Which is underneath the front seats which allow more space for the rear seats to fold up or down. Now it’s based on the civic which has a traditional gas tank located under the rear seats
Another great delivery you guys! Good looking car, but yes, price is too high for what it offers
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Is the honeycomb hard to clean the dust ?
Yes
In Europe we have a different version of the HRV , different interior ( magic seats are available), different exterior design and just the hybrid option
Yeah still a sub compact in Europe, not really any better though, also Hondas basically dead in Europe too so it’s sold there just because it can
@@Brian-jv8iy I couldnt agree more. The hybrid its fuel efficient and nice to drive in the city but lacks Power on the Higway.
Honda always was using Vtec 2.4 L engine and five speed automatic transmission, that time Honda was so successful in gas mileage and handling. Honda we need it back
For that money on the top trim, get yourself the new Corolla Cross Hybrid. More power, rear centre armrest with cup holders, and A/C vents for your kids. It also has the two tone colour option with the black roof ala Range Rover. Can't wait for your review on the Cross guys.
There is a review on the channel.
Honda ur loosing sales to the Koreans with those prices. R u listening. Add 10gs for the new crv. Review was point on good job. Give us a new element for 25k.
I’m already seeing these everywhere in the GTA and it hasn’t even been a month since release
Needs the 1.5t to compete with the crosstrek 2.5L. That's the main reason I went with the crosstrek.
Oh look, another crossover. How original of Honda! The grill looks like it's about to cry
Golf Sportwagon ❤️ How about an Accord or a Camry Sportwagon? Yes Please❤️❤️❤️
I was wondering if Nissan had plans to release a Hybrid Altima for 2023?
No news from Nissan on that unfortunately.
I can say that the price may not be necessarily cheaper in the USA, because by the time the dealerships put their add-ons, and market adjustments, it’s getting close to 40k for the sport at least. I saw a sport and the dealership was asking for 41k . So, good luck if you can get your hands on one close to Honda’s MSRP. I’m pretty sure the the 2023 CRV’s price ( especially the hybrid) is going to be cutthroat at this rate.
I just purchased a RAV4 Hybrid Limited from my local Toyota Dealer for $40,500 USD. That includes freight and dealer doc fees. The Honda Dealer up the road wants $42 ,000 USD for a top level trim including their made up charges like nitrogen fill tyres, $900 door edge guards etc. The Toyota Dealer has a three month wait for new RAV4s, the Honda Dealers have a couple of HRHs sitting on their lot with no buyers. I guess the market has spoken.
From what I've read and seen in recent times I think Honda is in a bad way. To make it worse is the pricing which will put them in a deeper hole.
You can't charge a premium price for something that is not premium.
I would go for the Corolla cross without a doubt!
If you looking for that class then go for it. Honda is way overpriced in general compared to Toyota and if more people realise the better.
The 23 HRV has the same interior dimensions as the Civic hatchback. Since the 2023 CRV now starts with the EX trim the HRV is now replacing the LX and Sport trim in U.S. market.
