HRV's allnew design features a low horizontal beltline that begins with the extended hood and continues over the swell of the rear fenders, adding stature to

HRV's sleek flowing forms. Wideset LED headlights and taillights highlight HRV's increased width (2.6 inches wider) and broadshouldered stance. Overall length has grown by 9.4 inches.

In front, an expressive grille is flanked by air curtain inlets that route air through the bumper and around the front wheels, improving aerodynamic efficiency. For a cleaner upscale look, laserbrazing technology eliminates the need for unsightly roof moldings and HRV's windshield wipers hide under the hood line when not in use.

In the rear, the sculpted hatch and standard tailgate spoiler highlight HRV's sporty proportions, and the outer edge of the taillights have been shaped to improve aerodynamics.

Each HRV grade features distinct design details. HRV LX is highlighted by a mattefinish on its honeycombstyle grille, and the lower section of its front and rear bumpers. Large 17inch alloy silverpainted wheels are standard.

HRV Sport gets an even more aggressive horizontalthemed grille mesh, a glossblack rear spoiler, and a chrome exhaust finisher. The lower portion of the rear bumper is painted gunmetal metallic, and the HRV Sport's exclusive 18inch split 5spoke wheels are finished in gloss Berlina Black.

For a distinctly upscale character, the HRV EXL features a unique glossblack version of the honeycomb grille, gloss black door pillars, and gloss black trim on the front and rear bumpers. EXL also rides on 17inch alloy wheels, painted Shark Gray with an exclusive machined finish.

HRV will be available in seven different colors, including two allnew colors exclusive to HRV: Nordic Forest Pearl and Urban Gray Pearl.

HRV's clean and sporty interior is a fresh take on Honda's new 'simplicity and something' design direction introduced with the 2022 Civic. Outward visibility is improved thanks to HRV's low cowl, expansive greenhouse and outside mirrors that have been positioned away from the windshield pillars.

Further improving visibility is the top of the HRV's wide instrument panel, which has been designed with minimum cutlines to reduce windshield reflections and visual distractions. A striking metal honeycomb mesh accent stretches from door to door across the dash. It serves both form and function, creating a dramatic visual dividing line between the audio, information displays and the climate controls, while the intricate flowthrough design conceals the air vents that might otherwise mar the uncluttered and harmonious look of the dash.

Premium materials are used throughout the interior, with close attention paid to the operation of all switchgear and controls, including the click and heft of knobs, stalks and switches. HRV's center console is uniquely curved and richly upholstered with French stitching. A clever passthrough complete with USB charging ports is ideal storage for small items, such as a smartphone.

Allnew Body Stabilizing Seats firmly hold the body, reducing fatigue and enhancing comfort on long drives. The rear seat area is wider to better accommodate threepassengers. It also features thoughtful touches, such as a rear tray for placing a smartphone.

HRV's standard cargo area (behind rear seat) has been enlarged to 24.4 cu.ft. (all trims), and its low liftover height of just over 27 inches makes loading large or heavy items easy. The standard 60/40 split rear seatbacks fold easily to a flat floor, expanding the space to 55.1 cu.ft. The lower door panels and side panels of the cargo area have been designed with an attractive wavy pattern that better hides scratches and scuffs.
