With all these recent developments, the compact crossover market is anything but stagnant, and the new 2016 Honda HR-V is here to make sure things stay that way. By bringing its revolutionary design to the table, the new HR-V is going to crank up the race with its competitors, and the main prize is the bulk of the lucrative segment of the market. By bringing the best qualities of a coupe and a crossover, the new Honda is one of the most interesting additions in 2016, so far.
2016 Honda HR-V Exterior
As for the exterior, the new Honda HR-V 2016 boasts a fully redesigned exterior. The grille, front, and rear bumpers, as well as the tailgate, have all been updated to a new standard. The dimensions are changed to a degree, making it agiler on the open road. As far as modern trends go, this is in perfect alignment and the fact that cabin space seems unaffected by this change is an added benefit if nothing else. Apart from alloy alternatives, 16-inch wheels are the norm, although 17 inches are also at play.
Honda HR-V 2016 Interior
On the inside of the brand-new 2016 Honda HR-V, the first thing that comes to mind is its stylish design that mirrors the classy exterior perfectly. Only premium materials are present, giving the new Honda a lot more luxurious feel than it should have, considering the price. Despite its name, there is nothing compact about the interior, and there is plenty of legroom as well as cargo space, for a vehicle of this class and size.
In fact, its redesigned seats are also a nice touch, making full use of Honda’s Magic Seat feature. Connectivity and safety have not been neglected, either. The new infotainment system will make sure all the infotainment needs have been met while the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will make sure your Smartphone is fully integrated into your new toy.
Honda HR-V Engine
The 2016 Honda HR-V comes with an interesting fellow under its hood. The engine is a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder, capable of producing 138 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque. This little guy, teamed with Honda’s trademark continuously variable transmission, is going to do wonders for the fuel efficiency as well as the overall driving experience.
Furthermore, the all-wheel drive configuration comes with an intelligent control system that adapts to the weather and road conditions. Overall, the new HR-V gave its users lots of fun, while they were waiting for the new model to come along.
2016 Honda HR-V Release Date and Price
Even though it had an official debut in 2014, the 2016 Honda HR-V did not make it to the showrooms until mid-2015. The base model of the 2016 Honda HR-V would set you back some $20,000 or more, plus all the expenses and any additional equipment you might choose. The price was comparable to that of the majority of its competition, so it was doing relatively well, by comparison, laying a solid foundation for the 2017 model which is just around the corner.
