CarTell take
We haven't driven the HR-V yet. On paper, e:HEV X at $39,900 drive-away is the value sweet spot. Stepping to the $42,900 e:HEV L buys more equipment.
Why consider it
- Magic Seats flip up cinema-style to swallow tall items like bikes or pot plants, and fold flat for 1,289 L of cargo. e:HEV returns 4.3 L/100 km combined.
- Fixed drive-away pricing means no haggling, and capped servicing is $199 per service for 5 years.
What to know
- 4-star ANCAP against the 2022 protocol, half a star behind most rivals.
- No AWD option. e:HEV RS at $44,400 drive-away overlaps with the Toyota C-HR.
- Wired-only Android Auto while CarPlay is wireless.
Who it suits
Urban families wanting Magic Seats and a small footprint, bike commuters who load up the cabin, hybrid hunters chasing 4.3 L/100 km, and no-haggle buyers happy with Honda fixed drive-away pricing.
