How it compares to its closest rivals
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says the segment is packed with competitors that deliver similar features and fuel efficiency without the consequence of a grumpy, lackadaisical powertrain; if you like some zest with your commute, check out the turbocharged versions of the Mazda CX-30 and Kia Seltos, and if the HR-V's pokey acceleration or small size puts you off, Honda's own bigger sibling, the CR-V, offers a more powerful, smoother-running powertrain and increased interior room for about $4,000 more.
MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) lists rival subcompact SUVs as the Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, and Toyota Corolla Cross.
