Check Out The 2023 Honda HR-V

The 2023 Honda HR-V has been completely redesigned with plenty of new specs and features, but is it the right car for you? New cars can carry tons of features, and with so much competition, it can be hard to spot a great deal. Fortunately, we can break down the decision by focusing on some key details.

If you’re planning on purchasing this SUV, check out this guide on the HR-V’s reliability, value for money, and little features that you might not have heard about. With these in mind, as well as other resources by Upper Valley Honda, you’ll have a clear idea of whether the HR-V is a good fit for you.

How is the 2023 HR-V different?

Compared to past models, the HR-V has been completely redesigned, from the engine to the rear fascia. It has been redesigned to be larger, to the point where some may say it competes with Honda’s own CR-V. It’s also slimmer with a more curved, CR-V-like feel to it. The front end gives a clean aspect with LED headlights on every trim, along with a rear roofline spoiler. From the back, a wide stance conveys a sense of solidity, and the elegantly designed combination lamps are illuminated with LED bulbs.

There’s even a new pair of electrostatic reading lights for the back row, completely new and unseen on any other Honda thus far. Check out the Upper Valley Honda guide to the 2023 Honda HR-V and see the full specs and key details of the trims, options, and more. Our team is ready to help you narrow down the right vehicle for you, helping you choose between an all-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive SUV, what infotainment features would be valuable to you, and anything else you may require.

Is the 2023 Honda HR-V reliable?

The new Honda HR-V is stylish, sporty, and has a bigger, feature-loaded cabin. It moves beyond the expectations of its segment, adding a powerful new engine and cool new systems. However, no one wants to end up having to replace parts of their car earlier than expected. So, if you’re wondering whether the 2023 Honda HR-V is reliable, Honda regularly receives top reliability ratings, which also apply to their latest vehicle lineup. Many people end up buying pre-owned Hondas to save money, so it’s no surprise that the automaker is considered one of the most reliable.

Besides Honda’s reputation for quality and enduring design, every 2023 Honda HR-V also boasts two warranties: three years or 30,000 miles of basic condition coverage and five years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage. As long as you’re still covered, these policies can get you a fast, no-cost replacement of any malfunctioning parts. You can count on the skilled experts in our service center at Upper Valley Honda to complete any job quickly and correctly.

Does the 2023 HR-V have useful standard features?

Some people aren’t interested in the various sporty or luxurious options they can get. They just want the basic, standard model to save money and reliably drive for the next few years or so. The question, then, becomes how many valuable features they can get on a low-priced car, possibly making room for an add-on or two or maybe a custom color. You’ll be highly impressed by your buying power when shopping for a 2023 HR-V.

Of course, the all-new HR-V also has an all-new 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine, combining brilliantly with the Real Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and new MacPherson-strut and multi-link suspension. With so many useful driving features, it’s easy to forget what may be the best of them all: cutting-edge Real Time AWD with an Intelligent Control System. This Honda AWD technology can quickly and easily adjust all kinds of traction and performance details, helping to ensure that you maintain optimal traction during rain, sleet, or snow.

The HR-V also offers convenient accessories to protect your car from dirt, scuffs, spills, and more. From all-season floor mats, door sill protection film, cargo covers, and cargo trays to seat-back protectors, you’ll have peace of mind that your HR-V’s interior is protected against all the perils of a raucous family or outdoorsy lifestyle.

If you’re more concerned about technology, connectivity, and convenience, you’re still in good hands with the HR-V. All grades include a multi-angle rearview camera and steering-wheel-mounted controls, a USB smartphone/audio interface, a Bluetooth hands-free link, and Bluetooth streaming audio.

Is the HR-V a good car for its price?

The HR-V starts from $23,800 on the LX. Front-wheel-drive vehicles are estimated to have the best fuel economy at 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. In AWD, the city rating drops to 25 mpg,; you’ll highway rating rises to 30 mpg. Put simply, you’ll save fuel compared to most competing vehicles, in turn saving you money. Beyond high fuel efficiency ratings, here’s a reminder of the key features you’ll get at this starting price:
