2020 Honda HR-V Review | This or 2020 Hyundai Kona? 

One of the many things I learned here is the Honda HR-V can come to a stop quicker than the car behind it.

We absolutely love our 2020 Honda Sport HR-V, Great value for the money, Fun to drive, Honda Sensing just love it!! 👍🇨🇦

Just got the HRV EX with AWD after having a Civic for the last few years. It is a lot more comfortable to drive and better visibility. The 0 to 60 acceleration is not an issue for me, I didn't get this for speed, I'm more of a reliability kind of guy.

Just got a 2020 HRV EXL after having a 2019 Fit LX.... definitely worth the money so far!!

Gold pony thanks for the good review on the hrv thanks keep up the good work

Did I miss it? Which, in your opinion, is better? The HRV or the Kona. I'm considering both

When will SUV all makes make a better CVT as when they go there gone.

Top markotop brother

Can u do a test on the xv Subaru middle of the range

Hey Gold Pony Been watching your videos for a while now. I leased my wife a 2020 Rogue Sport off your video and recommendation. Now I’m looking for something for my 20 year old daughter. Want it to be under 200 a month. Also looking for a small cross over. As far as the safety features (lane assistance, driver alerts and blind spot detection) what would you recommend? Honda HR-V EX Hyundai Kona SEL Toyota C-HR Or something else

I'm shopping around and looking at the 2020 HR-V and Mazda CX-30, among one or two other vehicles in this segment. Trying to keep costs down, it seems the Mazda is the way to go as far as performance and a premium-feeling cabin. The HR-V beats the CX-30 with lots more room and practicality. It's a tough choice, to be honest, but it would be hard to ignore the way a Mazda feels and drives. We already have a CX-5 (love it!) and with two kids now away in college (well, one will be next year) our second car doesn't have to have a third row of seats these days but it should be able to seat the four of us comfortably. My fear is that the CX-30 might a lovely car that is too tight in the rear. Not sure if we can swing for a low-spec CX-5 right now but that might be what we end up trying to do. Other choices include the new 2020 Ford Escape. Larger than either the CX-30 or HR-V, Ford is offering competitive pricing and some good deals on the new for 2020 Escape. I find the looks of the Ford to be uninspiring but it's inoffensive and I could live with it. I haven't test driven one yet but I've seen they have acres of cheap, black plastic in the cabin, especially on the door cards and lower parts of the dashboard, and the 3-cylinder turbo kind of scares me. However, it definitely checks the box of having a livable back seat, and like the Mazda, the Escape has a proper transmission and not a CVT such as found in the Honda. I am spoiled for choice as all three dealers are less than 5 miles from me but my gut opinion is that the Ford will be behind both the Honda and Mazda in reliability (therefore a lease is probably the only way I'd come away with the Escape.) Anything else I should consider in this general size and price range? Not loving the styling of the Hyundai Kona or the Kia Seltos, but maybe I could have my arm twisted if the price was right. I've noticed to get the better engine and transmission choices, as well as AWD, upper-level trims of both the Kona/Seltos would be needed, somewhat diminishing their price advantage.

No mention of the 2020 Hyundai Kona as in the title.

All it needs is more power, dual climate control and a premium sound system.

This car has a design flaw. I bought a 2021 HRV on March1, 2021 and noticed an irritating piercing whistling noise on my way home when I cracked open any front window or moonroof. I brought it back to Huntington Honda twice and they said they test drove 2 other new HRVs and they made the same horrible noise. So I'm basically told this is normal on all HRVs. I wonder if Honda has a design flaw or whether Huntington Honda is sitting on a bad batch?

The subcompact SUV category is largely a group of hatchbacks on stilts for those who want the utility of a hatch but the styling of an SUV. And for what it is the HR-V acquits itself relatively well. Certainly superior to the Scion turned Toyota C-HR. And as long as one limits the comparison to the Hyundai KONA with the base engine, it's at least competitive. Unfortunately, for every other entry in the category, however, the KIA Seltos blows them all out of the water.

i would make that front door handle Chrome! really make it look more Coupie lol :)

Kia's defiantly look nice but can they compete with the reliability of a Honda long term?

debating between a 2020 Honda HR-V, VW Tiguan SE, and Subaru CrossTrek Premium. Any suggestions for a college student who will be traveling alot?

Great review

All models of SUV they need to look at the CVT it's old technology and when it goes very expensive to fix.

Since you’re getting closer to 100k subs can you start getting press cars for review? Or go the Doug Demuro route and borrow from viewers? I feel like that would give you some more freedom in how you do reviews.

Honda the power of dreams! fastes SUV in his class with 1.5 Turbo!!!

The engines are not the same. The LX and Sport do not have a turbo engine. They also do not have the safety features. This is the reason I bought my Sport. I traded my 2018 CR-V EX for the 2020 HR-V Sport. Those “safety” features are not so “safe” and in the long run will cause more accidents for some people.

Major redesign on its way.

Above average reliability . That's all I need to know .

It needs the civic’s turbo engine

My 2020 HRV is a very sluggish and bumpy ride; power and smooth ride are not it's strong suits.

Kona > HRV

Definitely the Kona, but what Honda should have did was put the discontinued 2.4 engine from the CRV in the HRV now were talking.

not a big fan of the honda hrv

comparing Honda with Hyundai (garbage), are you serious ?
