Honda
The compact SUV that punches well above its weight
The 2024 Honda HR-V is a smartly packaged subcompact SUV redesigned from scratch for 2023 with a more sophisticated look and a smoother 2.0L naturally-aspirated engine. Its standout trick is the 'Magic Seat' second row — the cushions fold up like a theater seat, letting you carry items as tall as 3.5 feet standing upright. While rivals like the VW Taos have more power, the HR-V wins on cabin refinement, rear legroom, and Honda's legendary reliability. Standard Honda Sensing on every trim means no negotiating for safety features.
