Is This SUV Better Than A CX-30? (Honda HR-V 2023 Review)

Chasing Cars tests the new Honda HR-V Vi X small SUV to see whether it’s worth its $36,000 driveaway price - or if another car might be more suitable.
The Honda HR-V is a small SUV that competes with the Mazda CX-30, Subaru XV, Toyota C-HR and other crossovers. In Australia the HR-V is sold with a hybrid engine, or with a naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol. This is the $36K Vi X petrol model on test.
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Honda HR-V.

All the guys on Chasing Cars are great at presenting! 100%. But i want to say this guy's style is really good! Each segment flows so well and is seamless! NIcely done. Really like the look of that car! I never have liked the look of Hondas but this one! Very nice!

@deant1990 2 года назад

It's a shame, I like a lot about the car but the price is ridiculous for either option. The non electric is dangerously slow and the electric is stupidly over priced

@shivamarya5225 2 года назад

It's not dangerously slow Fiat panda, Kia picanto, Rio, ignis, Swift, Baleno etc are as slow if not slower than this car, as well as plenty of older cars too

@cityplanner3063 2 года назад

@@shivamarya5225 dangerously slow is an over exaggeration but I test drove the car and 1.5L felt really underwhelming. Really liked the look and the interior of the car. Was so disappointed about its performance and price tag

@deant1990 2 года назад

@@shivamarya5225 they are very slow and..... CHEAP. literally all the cars you mentioned are slow because they are the cheapest options. I don't mean dangerously slow as in it will kill you with its lack of speed but it definitely won't let you overtake while driving up a hill or allow you to manoeuvre quickly away from a situation

@joelopic Месяц назад

No blind spot. Rear traffic alert. Under powered. Real shame. Japanese are dropping their game and may get wiped by the Chinese. Such a nice looking car though

@grubguts309 2 года назад

Honda's lost the plot with there pricing. Look at the civic $47k I mean wtf.

@Jeslino Год назад

Got mine for 35k Euro in top trim as an hybrid here in austria. Fuel consumption is at 3-4L/100km in warm weather. Sometimes in low 5l on highway.

Stick to the usual review format guys. Good to see Curt in front of the camera again. Is Curt still freelancing across many publications?

I second the return to the old format.

@kampferpl7759 2 года назад

I feel sorry for those who bought this without knowing it's a 4 seater...

@cityplanner3063 2 года назад

When I looked at the HRV I noticed that it didn’t have a 5th seat. Made subtle hints to the salesman and they never disclosed that fact 😂😂

@peterellemor2915 2 года назад

I'm a huge Honda fan (I currently own 2 Honda motorcycles), but I think Honda have lost the plot and are not giving the market what it wants. The exterior styling is above average, and no doubt the handling, engineering and build quality will be first class. But the low budget interior, flacid powertrain, 4 seats and literally insane price - especially the Hybrid - leaves one very obvious question: What were they thinking?!!???!!!! It's a genuine tragedy that a company with such an incredible history and capability as Honda is offering such uninspiring 'white goods on wheels'.

@johnedds2327 2 года назад

I love this short form review with no lingering on unimportant stuff. As for the HR-V , I think it's a loser in performance terms, but it won't deter older couples or suburban parents. By comparison a VW T Cross has about the same KW but heaps more torque and better rear seat and boot room. Thanks Curt for your review.

@PhiveWalls 2 года назад

The 1.5L turbo should have made it to Aust instead of this non turbo unit & why is it a 4 seater where its a 5 seater in other countries.

@Clove_Parma 2 года назад

Doesn’t have a rear tether for a child seat in the middle. Rather than adding one, as required to comply with ADR for 5 seats they removed the middle seatbelt

@SajaiBaby 2 года назад

Nice to see you in Chasing Cars!

@tedk-42 2 года назад

Ouch Honda really missed the mark here. Bad economy and underpowered for the petrol model. Who would buy this...

@MrBenHaynes 2 года назад

Someone who hasn't researched their vehicle choices competition and gets taken for a ride by the salesperson.

@stanweeks8898 2 года назад

What a load of crap, over priced, underpowered, I wouldn't waste my money on that, omg what was honda thinking of, a bit like VW's failed attempts at getting more power out of smaller capacity engines and better fuel efficiency, it just does not work, these engines will burn out just after their warranty is completed, you watch and see, like VW's disastrous attempts

@jeffstryker1454 2 года назад

What is Honda thinking only 4 seats and that engine is gutless, I just bought my wife a Mazda cx30 with the 2.5lt engine and it has way more power.

@Andy-sj2dv Год назад

Gutless, that's why it's a 4-seater.😀

@robertceroli3512 2 года назад

WTF were Honda thinking by decreasing the eng compacity in HRV and increasing the price clearly it's no more fuel efficient than the 1.8 in the previous gen.i suspect it's the old jazz eng

@solid7468 2 года назад

It is the old jazz engine with 142 kw of torque

@EnShinNoi 2 года назад

This is about as powerful as my first car, a Mitsubishi Colt. Only that was 250kg lighter so the power to weight ratio was bearable. Driving this would be like driving that with a full load of adults sitting inside.

@jeffruebens8355 2 года назад

More back seat room and luggage room than the Mazda CX-30, but the engine is much worse, and the price is higher, and no fifth seat. If you only change the oil once a year, you greatly increase the chances for losing more oil from piston rings clogging. DIY Dave has a good recent video for unclogging piston rings without removing them.

@anthonyabdo5364 2 года назад

A current CRV vi 2.0 is listed at 35k in a segment above only difference is seats keys and safety aids

@hueyh5637 Год назад

Looks very clean, I’m liking Hondas new design language, especially with the civic and Honda e. Was going to order the hrv petrol, but power seems weak

@kevinjong3453 2 года назад

The lower displacement engine from the previous generation is a big downgrade

@ProductofNZ 2 года назад

This H-RV looks way better than the US spec one (called Z-HR in other markets)

@Andy-sj2dv Год назад

Fabulous review.

@GlowingTube 8 месяцев назад

Honda have started to discount the HRV as they are struggling to sell it. The base model should have leather steering wheel, be a 5 seater, offer the turbo 1.5 and be priced at around $34K to have any chance. As it stands, I paid just $990 more and purchased a VW T-Roc CityLife that is better than this poor effort from Honda in every conceivable way. Honda's reduced dealer and service footprint is also a massive turn off.

@TheEntelexia 2 года назад

I think people overlook the interior materials. My experience of the interior was sub-par at best. It was truly awful for the price they're asking for.

@isaiasvilla21 2 года назад

This is so much better than the North America version!

@davidblazko6393 Год назад

Which in Australia will be the ZRV, which is the size of the current CRV. Totally different car. Lineup will be HRV, ZRV, CRV

@itsmearv07 12 дней назад

It is rejected by me because of 4 seater. I need atleast 5 seater SUV. I liked the design but very disappointed by seating capacity. 😔😔

@oi32df Год назад

They should do a direct comparison with the north american Hr-v just to show us what we are missing.

@kenphillips7594 9 месяцев назад

Small boot, FOUR seats, plastic steering wheel, lacking safety items, seriously underpowered and AUD39k? The ghost of Stephen Collins is apparent here.

@stevenbradford1662 Год назад

Honda has lost its way in Australia. Test drove the petrol only model today. Underpowered and noisy 1.5, awful cheap vinyl steering wheel, 4 seater only. Cheap looking fabric seats. Nice exterior styling. Overall terrible for $37,000. I understand it is available overseas in turbo. Much better small SUVs to buy.

@ahh1180 2 года назад

I just don’t understand with Honda heritage and technology how they thought this thing was a good car

@kenphillips7594 11 месяцев назад

The Collins factor at work?

@Clove_Parma 2 года назад

No leather, even on the steering wheel, at this price? Honda has to be kidding. This car should be in the 20s with such a poor spec

No mid size SUV hybrid except for RAV4. Australia gets back of the queue.

Sort of Jazz had Single over head cam this is daul which is probably for production costs as the hybrid engine is almost identical with the addition of Atkinson's cycle

@cityplanner3063 2 года назад

Yep. I actually liked the HRV and was comparing it to the CX 30 but the engine was so gutless and noisy and I don’t even care about power. G20 CX 30 felt so much more powerful

@davidblazko6393 Год назад

@@cityplanner3063 The hybrid version is the only one worth considering. Especially at a verified 4.8l per 100km... Expensive but when you drive the small hybrids across different makers this is the better car. Would have been much better around $42-$43k.
