THE 2023 HONDA HR-V IS A NEW AND BIGGER

VERSION OF THE ENTRY-LEVEL CLASS LEADER.

Today’s entry-level vehicle is the subcompact SUV. At Honda, that’s the HR-V. For 2023, anew HR-V will inherit this price-leader mantle, though in the usual fashion, it has grown in both size and refinement. 

Based partly on CR-V and Civic bits, the °23 model grows 1.7 inches in wheelbase, nearly 9.4 inches in length, and around two inches in width. The expansion takes the HR-V from one of the smaller to one of the larger entries in the class.
