Love him getting in the trunk. Very helpful for size comparison, this guy is the best.
Thanks Kate!
Thanks for the video and these points are very helpful.
Different classes though, but I choose the HR-V over the CR-V because it looks better to me, easier to park, still offers plenty of interior space, and is cheaper 🤙😎👍
Me and my wife are looking at this one cuz she thinks the CRV looks too much like a soccer mom vehicle
@@scottwatson6053 I agree 👍
Great review! Reminds me that my 70's CVCC was much more spacious and open on the inside than it appeared on the outside. Looking to repeat the love and experience of that car and anxious to test the HR-V. Thanks!
I want the base model!
A very good review indeed!! All basis covered..... Good job mate 👍
Thanks! Appreciate it.
where is this filmed? beautiful countryside!!!!
What's the suspension feel like? Smooth or stiff
Please have a comparison between HR-V and BR-V please
I have a 2018 Honda HRV and I love it!
This was a great review, really helpful, thank you! I had a '99 CRV and I LOOOVED that car. Have a Jeep now, hate it. Going to buy either a CRV or an HRV this year, feeling like the CRV's now are bigger than what I want/need. I'm going to test drive an HRV this weekend now that I've seen this review. Looks like exactly what I need!
You'r welcome, glad I can help.
I test drove both and the hrv was really weak I got the crv I recommend it
I recently test drove the HRV and it drove pretty nice. I'm looking to replace my VW Tiguan and I would definitely get an HRV. The only draw back is it doesn't sit as high as a crossover should. It feels more like you're driving a car shaped like an SUV. But that was the only drawback for me at this price range.
i tried and to me it felt just like my moms crv
@@nightmarah916 I test drove it again and didn't get it. Too small.
I have looked at a lot of reviews for this car but none of them compares to yours! I love it very much! You are doing a wonderful work and you are very thorough covering every aspect. Thank you!!
Thank you, really the kind words!
Great video, only thing you missed is the gas mileage comparison.
Good Review! My daughter is looking at one these. This really helped
Thanks! She will enjoy it.
bought the 6-speed manual because, well.. that is what I prefer. Super quiet. Freaks people out when you pull up next to them. Smooth shift. Not a lot of power, but I did not buy it for that.
I like how you do the videos
Don't get me wrong I love the car but I was used to driving a Toyota Corolla especially when merging on the highway I push on the gas and the acceleration was quick but with the HR-V it's not as quick. I figured because it's a bigger car than what I had maybe that's why but either way I still love my car. The acceleration is not as quick as a Corolla but its definitely better than FORD!
Good video. Appreciate your incite
The guy in the car next to you at the light (@16:00) watching you talk with your hands. 😎
Great and very thorough review. Thanks for helping me choose my next vehicle!
Car Play in 2019. Took way too long. The Civic got it 3 years ago, and even that was late. Same for the Fit. Love that exterior color. I wonder if the most popular/boring colors are so because they’re on the lot more
Bravo ,great review,good job
Thanks!
Nicely done!
Of ALL the vehicles I’ve looked at for over a year & just came upon this one about a month or so ago~ It’s my fav. Will be giving up a Volkswagen Tiguan lease for this.Thank you again for a great review( just ran upon this 2019 video, after seeing your 2020.
Did you get the Hrv?
@@williamllambelis3254 ~ not yet, end of this year- still looking at a few vehicles😆
Is the vezel same as the hrv?
3:45 LUD tail lights ?
Good review, I was wondering if it was a remote start?
nope, not on my EXL 2019 I got yesterday. everything else, But! I'm fine. no more CD player. I'm a young 70, but it has satellite radio and more.
People are so picky on everything. I just need something to get from A to B
I know right ?
My husband and I are upgrading to a 2019 HRV From a 2015 Subaru Legacy. We had nothing but trouble with our Legacy. We are picking it up in a few days and are excited to finally be getting rid of our Legacy.
I only want vehicles that will not crap out on us. My wife drives this and I have a Tacoma. I don’t give a shit about how anything looks though
Right!
Good car for single young adult. My son just got one to drive back and forth to college. He's 6'4" and wishes for two more inches of driver seat legroom. He felt the same way about the driver's seat in the family's Kia Sorento. If you have a family the CR-V would be a better fit than this HR-V.
6”4 is 1 percent of the male population in the United States relax
Excellent 👍!
Got the sport
Good little car. I have one and I like everything about it except it is a little under powered. Good review and video is well done.
Thanks!
Look up Hondata it boost up hondas
Why are there no real tire pressure monitors?
This would have been great and my next choice, but the price and low power kinda killed my decision. Great review BTW.
Thanks!
This is the best affordable no fuss car. Spacious inside. Safety features. Frugal. I owned a hand-me-down Fit before. This car is such a welcome to cater to my growth spurts. No wonder this is Honda best selling model in other countries.
But it is boring and underpowered.
I have a 2010 fit and its a great little, doing 80 with no problem
I like it a lot. I need more space than my 2005 Civic. Plenty of room for two adults, my dog and luggage, cooler and supplies for a vacation at the beach.
Its a very nice suv. Plenty big.
Driven Corollas much of my life..but I think this is a good option for me
Think you'll love the utility of a HR-V over a Corolla.
me too just got the HRV and love it!
Who is this guy? He's super thorough with this review. I'm considering the HR-V now because of him, but I'm hearing mixed opinions about the CVT.
CVT transmissions take some getting used to. If you listen @14:33, you’ll expect to hear the typical volume drop and tone change of gears shifting, but it doesn’t happen because of the CVT. If you’re a jack-rabbit start kind of driver, you like to race, or you enjoy driving a manual transmission vehicle, you’ll probably dislike the CVT. If you enjoy a smooth ride and have the patience to get used to it, you might love it as much as I do. I’ve had three vehicles with CVT, but my current one doesn’t have it and I miss it quite a bit. One of the main reasons I’m considering the HR-V is because of the CVT. Good luck!
I love my HRV. I have a Jeep too and my hrv eats the the Wisconsin snow much better than my Jeep. Only downfall is the ground clearance my jeep is taller.
I prefer the black accents on the sport model
Spotted the deer on his left side.. Nice HRV presentation.
Honda Fit: Am I a joke to you!?
I have a 2010 fit and its a great little car, doing 80 is not a problem
I don't know I enjoy the CRV a bit more though this does look kind interesting kind of like the Civic vs Accord just SUV edition where the CRv would be the accord in this scenario and the hrv the civic
I agree
I have the EX version. Very nice car. I traded in my Jeep renegade to get this.
I got the EX too
What is that hanging down underneath the frame? Looks like a metal bar?
Cool..
it competes with other sub compact crossovers by being bigger, roomier and more horsepower. But at that price point and sacrifice to fuel economy, you might as well get the CR-V.
Hello from Canada. Well I am a Honda fan for the past 30 plus years but my 2016 Honda HR-V is bad quality built.
The fog lights lens are filled with some water. The rear doors actuators stop working and the bill is about $750.00 CAD to repair. As of now, the front driver door can not open from outside neither by remote nor sensor on door handle. Bluetooth stop working on android phone but ok with Iphone. The key detecting sensor intermittently display on dash. Car is under power. Last but not least, the day I picked up my HR-V from Honda dealer. The sun roof can not be closed and they have to bring it back inside to fix it before first time drive off the dealer. Will trade it in for new CR-V soon. Still love Honda car. May be it has to do with Mexican built I guess.
Thumbs up on the comment. However, my mom bought a 2018 HRV LX model. She has had the car for 1 year now, and she hasn't had any complaints at all with it. So maybe the Mexican plant got their bugs sorted out. I think you do take more of a risk buying the first year model of any car.
No issues with my HR-V since 2015. You got a lemon
@@SonyEnthusiast Same here for my 2018! Love it!
@@724tomjohnston good! I love mine too. Have you modified your HR-V in any way?
Yeah, you probably got a lemon. I have a 2019 and it run's fine.Was you car under warranty? I don't know where mine was built. Maybe Mexico or japan or the US or Canada.
There are cup holders in the rear doors! 🚪
The HR-V Touring is NICE with the full LED headlights, leather seats, and other bells and whistles, but I prefer the Sport, and plan to get one. Probably in Aegean Blue Metallic. It has bigger, nicer wheels, and the suspension might be more Sport tuned than the others, with the 18" wheels and tires. The Sport ground effects and fender opening surrounds are a nice gloss black. Overall, it is a great value for about $23K, similar to the Civic Sport Sedan. This HR-V Sport should come with that Civic 2.0L Non Turbo with about 20 more HP. It would be nice if the rear hatch chrome emblems were smoke tint like the hatch trim strip and front grille piece. The last thing I wish it had was the CD player they used to have available in the older HR-V. The new radio is updated, and upgraded, but still has the blank strip above the touch screen where the CD slot was on those models.
Nice!
Do these newer hondas with the push button E brakes come with a manual mode incase your car has no power and needs to be put in E brake mode if something happened if it required it?
That's a very good question...never thought about that.
Id love to know if you get your hands on that info!
Electronic ebrake does not engage without battery voltage
Wheels almost look like the insight wheels
What do you think of paying OTD 27800 for EX-L AWD?
So Jung Choi way to much get the crv at that price
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 hr-v looks better and is easier to park
how much room in the back seat if you are a tall driver?
Well I'm 5'10" so depending on how tall the driver is I say there would still be a good amount of room in the back.
Is the Honda “oil dilution” problem true for this model?
No. The HR-V uses an older generation Civic engine that is extremely reliable.
ddavejb bullshit it has direct injection so u will get some oil dilution and alot of valve crud and bullshit on it.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 no turbo, so no issues with the tried and true R18 in my HR-V since 2015
Pay the extra few thousand and get a CRV. The HRV isn't a 'bad' vehicle, but the CRV offers a lot more comfort, roominess and engine capability.
got mt HRV yesterday almost new low mileage. For me it's plenty big, more style, and I'll get used to the power. I had a Turbo Nissan Juke for 9 years, but time to move on to my Last Car.
Rear seat Head rest
بہت بڑی ہیں ۔۔بہت بھدی لگتی ہیں ۔
ڈرائیور کا rear view محدود کرتی ہیں ۔
ہمارے گرم ملک میں اس کا DCT مسئلہ بنتا ہے۔۔
ورنہ یہ بہت اچھی کار ہے
My friend got this in the LED headlight top trim, very, very nice in all areas EXCEPT it is as low to the ground as cars for a SUV? Really its a Honda fit , even the rear seats are exactly the same! its just a lifted fit! For gas mileage you might want the fit..............
I'm a Honda person myself and everything else is really tempting about this vehicle. Sadly me and some other friends are inclined to purchase other more reliable brand of cars until Honda fixes it's fuel dilution problem. I wish they would asap.
Dilutions problem only in the Civic and CRV.
@@karkule5919 Which year model of the CR-V has the fuel dilution problems ?
@@shyb3rt It's the 1.5L 4-cylinder-tubro GDI engines.
@@karkule5919 ok, thanks. I'm primarily looking at the 2.4L (2013-2014 models), so should be alright then :-)
@@shyb3rt Yes, those will last longer but before you buy MAKE SURE you have a compression test done for each cylinder to see if the engine is strong or has major wear or damage.
Are the CVTs still failing and causing the car's value to go to zero??
Only Nissan's cvt. No issues with my HR-V
You thinking bout Nissan ctv
Upgrade , personally I feel I upgraded by buying an HRV instead of a crv
Hey why you driven my car !.... have the same exact model.
Pink color??? maybe I'm colorblind...
I am driving this one! Love the car! Only thing I dont like about it is the HP, worse than a civic =(
Yea that's the biggest gripe I have with the HRV. Needs a more powerful engine.
How fast do you need to go in a subcompact suv? Here's proof the power is enough th-cam.com/video/sFEqDMLx_9w/w-d-xo.html
The power is enough unless you let more people in. I got mazda cx3 with 148hp with very limited passenger and bootspace. So maybe there’s a purpose.
@@henmari6684 the HR-V has more interior space than your CX3.
HR-Vex im aware.
Who would buy the HR-V Touring Edition? You might as well get the CR-V instead and not get the HR-V Touring. It's not like the HR-V Touring is such an upgraded car, the CR-V EX or EX-L is much better in power, amenities, more room, same MPG and the price is about the same, maybe a little higher for the EX-L. So do you want an ok car or one of the best cars out there?
On many streets, especially in London, the CRV still feels bulky compared to the HRV
I just can't get over how much bulkier the crv looks. Looks too soccer mom
Hrv with 1.5t engine is a bomb :)
Earthdream "nightmare " engine. Worst engine ever. Forces gas into engine oil. No they didn't fix it. Huge Honda mistake.
@@boatdesigner12 why is it a nightmare engine?
It wont take long for Scotty Kilmer to trash it
Anything that isn't a 92 celica is bad :(
Drivers Only really i have a 92 celica. Yayaya i must have a good one im gonna sell it for 30k
Why would he trash it. He likes Hondas
@@redxiii1810 Because he hates many newer vehicles and it does have a CVT transmission. I have a case of "Kilmerphobia" that any new car or truck I like will be trashed by Scotty Kilmer.
Killer is a hack...
There are cup holders in all 4 doors.
Does not look like they are cup holders.
I own an hrv. They have cup holders in the back. Ha 😎 👍
To be more specific, they are bottle holders.
7:50...Paddle shifters not needed in a car like this??? You are so wrong. A lot of people say the HR-V is under powered. Thats WHY YOU HAVE THE PADDLE SHIFTER DUHHHH. If you like conservative driving, then just go with the regular “D” DRIVE mode. If you like some spirited driving, some fast acceleration, down shifting and the rest, go for the “S” mode and use the paddle shifters. Its like driving a manual transmission. And just so you know...the “S” mode selector also has 2 sports mode option. By holding the right paddle shifters in for 3 seconds, it will shift by itself from 1st to 4th gear only if you were racing aggressively. No need to touch the paddles in this mode. Read the manual my friend. But all in all great review on the body and interiors. And i don’t recall you showing the engine bay.
Yea i see your point. But maybe offering stick would be a better option. Yea I didn't for this car, I started to in my future videos. I haven't reviewed a 2020 HRV since there is almost no difference.
I have a 2016 HRV. My biggest complaint is the lack of insulation and worse than that, the felt interior. Why O why felt?
What do you love about it?
Honda needs to either give us a 1.5 turbo or a 2.0 dohc dual cam lobe(without the 3rd lobe for vtec) for this car. The euro version of the hrv already had the 1.5t, while were stuck with the 1.8 sohc. This thing is just not making enough paowa baby. I would so consider buying one if they had given us a different- more powerful engine.
I wonder how the load is... I am a mobile DJ and carry about 2 12"tops, 1 15" sub, and a tub of miscellaneous stuff... would this HRV work for me?
Yes but itll probably be bit slow
If this car was any slower, it wouldn't need reverse.
LOL
as of today , due to lease incentives and loyalty rebates I can lease a base CRV for just 20 bucks more a month than a base HRV . They need to find a way to make that price difference bigger otherwise people will just lease a CRV unless oil dilution scares them
Should have done a 2.4 or 2.0 engine. Looks good but it's really under powered.
I agree, very under powered.
Do you need to tow or race? I got no issues speeding into freeways and passing others easily as seen in my dash cam footage: th-cam.com/video/AX7DKxYlI4g/w-d-xo.html
@@SonyEnthusiast Hello my friend, your dash cam footage doesn't support your point. It is possible for an "under-powered" vehicle "easily" passing others provided the others not speeding.
@@cozyhome9927 here in California, there are a lot speeders. Trust me, I got no issues speeding into freeways and passing other speeders easily. They go 80, I go 90
Why is the dashboard so old fashion ? It seems this car was made 20 years ago.
Too bad, because modularity and reliability are the 2 strengths of this SUV.
I would say its simple no old fashion. Honda tried to keep the cost down with the HR-V because its catering to a crowd that wants a lot of utility for a low price. I believe Honda nailed it.
I couldn't do this 20 years ago: th-cam.com/video/ecWNOd_8CdI/w-d-xo.html
Cars and Crypto
so with this car you pay for nothing.....the space!
I personally dislike those backdoor handles to an utmost level. They destroyed the side integrity. They cause inconvenient in rainy days. That sort of design is totally out of Japanese characters.
I love the hidden rear handles for a coupe look. And I laugh when new people try to get in 😂
Skip it. Get the CR-V made in USA.
No issues with my HR-V since 2015
Looks like a pumpkin.
Lol
I wanna botth
We bought a 2017 HR-V for my wife and she is very disapointed. The engine is too loud, road noise is unacceptable, and it’s the slowest car we’ve ever had. When it’s parked in the garage in winter for 2 days, the battery dies. We replaced it’s battery twice in just 2 years. She traded it with a Tiguan to get rid of it. Honda’s quality is going down. Don’t buy this car folks. There’s nothing in it that will make you happy.
Ugly color.
