Updates for 2026 Model?
Every trim level now comes standard with a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen, replacing the previous 7.0-inch display, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These features were once exclusive to the top EX-L Navi trim. The update also brings fresh exterior colour options, redesigned wheels, and subtle changes to trim styling.
Efficient Power That Feels Smooth and Reliable

Power comes from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. Output reaches about 158 horsepower, which feels smooth and predictable during everyday driving. Torque sits around 138 lb-ft, offering steady acceleration in traffic and on longer drives.
A continuously variable transmission is paired with the engine for seamless gear changes. Fuel efficiency is one of its sturdy points. With combined fuel consumption rated at 8.3 L/100 km for Front Wheel Drive models and 8.7 L/100 km for Real Time AWD, the HR-V is designed to keep efficiency front and centre. An Eco Assist system helps monitor driving habits, while the ECON drive mode supports smarter fuel use, helping every trip go a little farther on each litre. This makes the HR-V easy on fuel without sacrificing drivability.
Confident Stance With Practical Design
The HR-V rides on well-sized alloy wheels that support stability and comfort. Steering feels light and easy, making parking and tight turns easier. Suspension tuning keeps bumps under control while maintaining a relaxed ride.
Cargo space is lavish for a compact crossover. With up to 1,560 litres of space when the rear seats are folded, it handles groceries, sports gear, and weekend bags with ease. The wide rear opening makes loading simple and quick.
Smart Technology That Feels Easy to Use

Inside the cabin, technology feels clean and intuitive. The infotainment screen measures up to 9 inches and is clearly visible. Controls are simple, making it easy to manage music, calls, and apps while driving.
Tech features focus on convenience. Digital driver displays, smartphone connectivity, and steering wheel controls help reduce distractions. The layout feels calm and user-friendly, even for first-time drivers.
