2024 Honda HR-V Sport has ONE Huge Problem :All Specs & Test Drive 

It's an every day, comfy ride. Not an off-the-line launch. Ppl talkin like they gonna race with this thing lmao.

I bought this exact one two months ago. Really like it. Performance is fine. But I’m 55 and don’t expect it to be something it’s not. I’d highly recommend the HR-V to anyone. Excellent bang for the buck

From my experience, both Toyotas and Hondas have awesome machines 👌 you can’t go wrong with either one

i really like the one i just bought. this is probably the best overall value for a car that i've had for sure. at this price point, i still have awd and something big enough to get through a decent bit of snow and haul quite a bit of stuff in etc. my mom was actually shocked at the interior experience noticing that it's very similar to her rx350 2023 features but for under half the price. obviously this isn't a lexus and the cars don't compare in overall quality but for an entry level vehicle it's loaded to the gills. the leather seats are super nice, the stereo system sounds great, the little v4 motor actually goes fast. way faster than my 05 accord or my 15 pilot. solid gas mileage. i think for most people this is a good affordable car that's about the right size for most needs and far exceeds on most days. with realistic expectations at this price point i'd give it a 5/5. that styrofoam storage in the back though HONDA WHAT IS THIS???? lol like dude that's the material my mcdonalds hotcakes are served in lol at least put in a plastic one, it doesn't even have to have gold plating or anything.

I just lost my 2006 Accord unfortunately in an accident thank God we're ok just lil banged up. We were without a vehicle lil over a month. By Gods blessings we were able to buy the 2024 Hr V. Lemme tell you its the first brand new vehicle weve ever owned and we love it Awesome car. Roomy interior is beautiful great safety features. I take care of my elderly parents and its comfortable for them. My 06 accord made me a Honda man that car was solid it had over 200000 miles and was still running great. Id just spent 3000$ ro fix her up before the accident. But God is Awesome i will miss my old Accord tho😅!

Just bought a 2024 that looks exactly like the one you are driving in the video, it is for my girlfriend and she daily drives it. The car has 450 miles on it currently and so far it is my favorite car we have bought her. Iv drove it around some myself and I do agree it isn’t “fast” but it’s very practical and does just what it’s supposed to do, get from point A to B and be reliable while doing it. After all I wasn’t shooting for a racecar. The car has quite a bit of room, good leg space. It drives good, rides good, fairly comfortably and looks really nice. For the price for a brand new car with 7 miles on it when we left the dealer I couldn’t find anything to compete really. Thanks for the video!

Just got one this weekend and really love it. You get a lot of good modern tech features for the money.

I just bought one and it's pretty nice. Few fails but overall for the price it's good

great review thanks for sharing

My new one will be in on Sept 19th! Can’t wait!

Thank you for the really good review!!

I just bought one in Milano Red and I’m loving it so far… can’t wait to see what it does in the snow! One design thing I don’t care for is where the cupholders are but it’s not that big of a deal.

I’ve had only Honda’s for last 40 yrs, Most reliable but Honda keeps having only black interiors. Wish they had more colors. Thank you for great report. I still have my orange 2007 fit.

This is one of the hottest selling vehicles for Honda. But overall its an adequate vehicle.

Nice video! What about cabin noide? I heard a lot of it, I don't know in real life! Thanks!!!

Overall, a good, informative review. I didn't hear the "huge problem" advertised in the title. Maybe I missed it, but I would have expected more words about it if it was huge.

An amazing swap would be to put the previous generation Accord v6 with that corresponding transmission in this thing!

Is the gas tank still a hump under the driver's seat? We have a 2018 and that tank is very annoying for me on long drives. I like to set the cruise and bring my feet back up to the front of the seat but that tank gets in the way.

I have Taos and family member just got this one yesterday, other than warranty and fast acceleration in my VW, Hrv is much better quality seems like.

Been on the fence for awhile on these 2nd Gen Honda HRV but the sport is suitable for me bc the lx is barebones and exL is cool. The new is shape is definitely sexy tho! Only zonk is the engine is mehh and no magic seats😢 which goes handy during Costco 💦 trips. But I did find out that Honda been hiring top audi engineers to build and design these sexy looking hondas

I need the ride height of this hrv and the mpg of the civic. The Hyundai kona is perfect but it’s not reliable and not as comfy. In the end I bought a hrv.

I just bought last month a 2024 HR-V Sport in red. I traded my 2022 Civic EX lease in real early. The deal I got was great and couldn't pass it up. I shopped around and different Honda dealers and it was a no brainer. I miss the horsepower the civic turbo had, the sunroof too. But overall, I am very happy with the HR-V. I miss the great gas milage the civic turbo had too. You get a lot of vehicle for the price. I love the car starter the seat comfort, the visibility, the different driving modes, auto lock walk away, 18" wheels, and interior room. A great choice ! I also owned a 2020 HR-V EX too which I traded in early lease on the 2022 Civic EX. This gen is great !!!!

an SI trim and hybrid option would be nice… and bring back the maGic seat

I have 16,583 miles on this car. I've had it for about 8 months. Most of the problems that I have with the vehicle are coming from hearsay I have not experienced the issues that other people are reporting with the car. My main concern with having a child was the exploding rear windshields which when it's cold outside and you turned on the rear defroster the compound they use to seal the window to the car reacts with the defrosters and that's what is causing the exploding windows. I did have a recall for a seat belt tensioner which they said the seatbelts passed. 2 service managers that I know said that there will be a fuel pump recall coming down the pipes along with a rear occupancy sensor recall I have noticed that the rear middle seat is showing someone is sitting in it when there's nothing in the back seats. It started going off for the seatbelt reminder and I did not have my son's car seat back there so I know something is definitely wrong with the middle rear occupancy sensor. If you are looking to utilize all 158 horsepower I suggest putting the gear shifter in the S mode and turning off traction control. I haven't noticed the power issue. I also dropped a $120 air filter in it and only use green motul oil.

Awesome beautiful cuv for what it is a awd civic, not what some reviewers expect it to be.

Make it a hybrid 45+ mpg and i'm sold

Is this a gas saving for long distance drive?

I bought one July 22. Over 1 year. And paid $3k on top of the MSRP. Overall this car is good but two things annoy me. 1) lack of power and 2) road noise. Otherwise it is a home run from Honda.

The EXL will not allow you to get the 18 inch black wheels or the exposed exhaust pipe. The sport won't allow you to get the the sunroof Or fall lights. neither trim allows an armrest in the back seat, which is weird for traveling vehicle. I would buy the sport if I could get the moonroof in the fall lights

I see there’s some good space in the back how tall are you? I have two kids and I feel like they’re gonna be pretty tall.

What about the long term reliability of the CVT?

I will hit 1000 miles on my 2wd sport today. It is only averaging 23 mpg highway/city. Very disappointed given my 2018 HRV lx (manual transmission) averaged 32 highway/city. I will say that it has more power, but the milage is sad. Hopefully it just needs more time to burn off the materials, but like I said, already at 1000 miles on the thing.

I purchased my 2024 Honda Hrv few days ago and I noticed on my 3rd day wirh car that it started to vibrate when I drive speed of 60 to 65 mph. So I said maybe it's the road. So next day it happened again I contacted my dealership and spoke to my salesperson he suggested to bring it over the weekend. So brought car Saturday and they said they balances tires and to test it again. If it happens again to bring it back so I did. I brought it back Saturday and service department told me they don't have a loaner at this time and to come Monday. I am going to drop off the car today and get a loaner. Again this should not be happening. My neighbor I found out over the weekend she is also having same issues. Anyone else with this problem? If so, how was it resolved. Your comments are appreciated it

Im getting mine in 2 weeks… Too bad there are not so many!!

thank you for going to the Dealer to review, short term, no huge problem a huge Opinion good luck IMHO Honda did good on the design change, SUCKED on the Cr-v hange they should have never designed a 5th gen at all/

To me Big problem with this Vehicle , and reason I did not buy it, No Tow Package, was not looking to To anything Huge but needed it for my Utility Trailer, My MTB's , My Fishing Kayak Trailer (saying fishing Kayak because it is much bigger then one you can put on your Roof.... and this is the same reason I can not consider the Hyundai Subcompact SUVS

The Sport trim is a trap (that I fell for). The EXL is the best trim. The EX is the budget trim. Note that the Sport trim does not have parking sensors (EXL does).

Even though they increased the power with the Civic engine it's still underpowered. I have a 2020 Sport and overall, it's a very nice vehicle except for the underpowered engine. Needs the 1.5L Turbo to be competitive.

No turbocharge! We don't want turbocharge! We want this very Honda K20 engine. The engine in this vehicle is the best 4 cylinder engine in the world currently. So don't touch it! The car is fine. It could have a manual transmission option with the same engine. That would make this car a chocolate candy. The car is a sweet candy anyways. It's reliable, comfortable, affordable and safe. There is only one car in the market that compares to this car by the 4 parameters mentioned above and that is Toyota Corolla Cross. Anything else (Mazda, Nissan, Kia, Chevy, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Hyundai) is disposable and/or problematic garbage.

CR-V gets same mileage and out weighs this. Why such crappy mileage on such a small car?

Purchased a 2023 new, I’ve got around 40,000 miles on it so far. Pros - not bad on fuel, handles well. Cons - under powered for sure, rear window randomly shattered parked in my driveway. Awful road noise. I have a 2015 Silverado with AT tires that’s quieter. Factory Michelin tires lasted about 12 000 miles. Maybe a great city car, but out in the rural area and open highway I would not buy this again.

My usb ports don’t work😢

Good car recommended

Súper Great

Geez, I thought everyone was making CVTs with stepped shifts. This thing groans and drones like the old originals 16 17 years ago.

Con, power 😩 Con, CVT 😩 Pro, price 😏

Good looking HRV 2024…. But I am worry about power engine 158 hp is not enough dude…. We need a better HRV with better engine, and hybrid versions, etc, etc…. Cool video…

Make turbo 2.0 then I'm sold.

So, what is the One Big Problem? Or did I miss it?

Sucks only 1 12 v outlet and it’s in the trunk so I couldn’t hook up my dash cam

1st here 😊

Rear passenger area is a bust, no air vents, no arm rest, no cup holder, no usb, power not there

UNDERPOWERED DO NOT TAKE THIS THING ON THE HIGHWAY. YOU WILL BE SORRY

Can that terrible looking honeycomb interior dash be replaced by a normal interior

very underpowered!!! read all the reviews!

Wanted to test drive this week. Underpowered, and shitty seats I've read. Damn. Dunno now.

Sooooooo, Nothing different from 2023 sport Wow Thanks Honda Especially the ugly empty cubby in the back seat

Well let’s just put one thing right out there in the open, this is incredibly plain inside and out. Truly looks like a budget vehicle. At least the prior generation had some character. Doesn’t seem to offer much of anything in any regard. Honda should make their slogan “less for more.” I expect much better from a top brand.

I test drove it. Underpowered.

The 1.5 L Engine stops me from buying one.

The driver seat is uncomfortable…

The OTD price on this car should be 25k. Anything more, and you're getting ripped off.
