As a leading local Honda dealership, the company line is that we’re not supposed to have favorites. After all, the Honda lineup is filled with legendary cars, crossovers, and SUVs. But when a vehicle comes along as special as the 2024 Honda HR-V, full of pep and made for small spots, we can’t help but like it. Here are some of our team’s favorite features of “the compact that can.”
Secrets from a Honda Dealership: 3 Favorite Features of the 2024 Honda HR-V
1. The Heart of a Honda
Paired with a 2.0-liter inline-four DOHC power plant, the HR-V has a motor with a pep in its step. The power plant puts out 158 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque: plenty to power its compact frame. MacPherson front struts and a multi-link rear suspension provide a balance between a sporty Honda ride and the ability to absorb the bumps offered by uneven terrain, while all-wheel drive is available on all trims of the HR-V to improve stability and performance while cornering or in bad weather.
2. Safety From the Frame Up
Honda didn’t skimp on the safety features in the HR-V. In fact, the IIHS gave the 2024 HR-V its coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation and gave it top marks in all crash test categories. Built on the Advanced Compatibility Engineering frame and loaded with airbags for the driver’s knees, front and back side airbags, and side curtain airbags with rollover protection, the HR-V is a master of survivability if the worst should happen on the road.
But Honda would rather see drivers safely home in the first place. That’s why every HR-V comes with Honda Sensing advanced safety features to prevent collisions. Adaptive cruise control with following-distance comes standard and is even capable of bringing the vehicle to a halt when traffic snarls hit, while front collision detection provides early warning and brake assistance when approaching objects too quickly. Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Lane Keep Assistance also come standard.
3. Cute, Stylish, Compact
The HR-V is perfectly adapted for life in the big city, where parking is rare and spots are often fun-sized. The HR-V descends from the legendarily easy-to-park Honda Fit, with previous model years sharing a chassis with the fan-favorite compact wagon. At just 179.8 inches long, the HR-V easily tucks into parking spots that make bigger SUV owners jealous, with standard rearview camera with dynamic guides and available front and rear parking spot sensors making negotiating tough spots a snap.
Body-colored spoiler, side mirrors, and a low stance help keep the HR-V looking stylish and fit, and a power-tilting moon roof, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, and leather trim on the seats are all available for those looking for a more luxurious ride.
With advanced safety features, a compact and nimble body that doesn’t skimp on style, and the road-ready heart of a Honda, the 2024 HR-V belongs in your driveway. Test drive yours today at Boyd Honda Oxford in Oxford, NC and find your favorite features.
