2026 Honda HR-V Trim Levels Explained
When it comes to configurations for 2026 Honda HR-V models, every subcompact SUV comes standard with a reliable 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, giving you peppy performance for weaving through city streets, tackling curvy back roads, or loading up for spontaneous weekend adventures.
Each trim comes standard with front-wheel drive, with available Real Time AWD on every model for added traction. The car gets impressive gas mileage scores: an EPA-estimated 26/32/38 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 for FWD models and an EPA-estimated 25/30/27 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 for AWD variants.
With consistent power, capable handling, and strong gas mileage across the series, it's the aesthetics and amenities that truly set each Honda HR-V trim apart. Let's dive into what makes the LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring iterations unique.
2026 Honda HR-V LX
The LX serves as the entry point into Honda's versatile subcompact SUV lineup, providing a smart balance of practicality, style, and value. The cabin is thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience, featuring cloth seats, automatic climate control, and a standard 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration to stay connected on the go.
Safety is a top priority with the Honda Sensing suite, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Collision Mitigation Braking, giving you assurance on every drive.
2026 Honda HR-V Sport
The 2026 Honda HR-V Sport brings an athletic flair to the HR-V collection, turning everyday driving into a statement. Its exterior presents a trim-exclusive grille, 18-inch Gloss Black wheels, Gloss Black roofline spoiler, Gloss Black side mirrors, and a chrome exhaust finisher, making this SUV impossible to ignore on the road.
The Sport also boasts increased ground clearance of 7.3 inches (up from 7 inches on the other trims) along with higher approach and departure angles, making it more capable over obstacles and uneven terrain.
The HR-V Sport enhances refinement and functionality in the interior with heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, remote engine start, and a Blind Spot Information System. With its bold appearance and outdoor-focused attributes, the HR-V Sport truly stands out among the Honda HR-V trim levels.
To top it off, the Sport lets you steal the spotlight even more with two striking exterior colors exclusive to this variant: fiery Milano Red and eye-catching Boost Blue Pearl.
2026 Honda HR-V EX-L
At the top of the 2026 Honda HR-V lineup, the EX-L combines confident mechanics with upscale style and luxurious comfort, making every drive a refined ride. Inside, you'll enjoy leather-trimmed heated front seats with an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, available in either Black or Gray perforated leather, complemented by a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
Features like the one-touch power moonroof and an eight-speaker audio system elevate every drive, letting you enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and your favorite music, while touches like dual-zone automatic climate control ensure all passengers are relaxed and cozy.
On the outside, the EX-L exudes sophistication with standard 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels featuring Berlian Black Inserts. You can also choose from 17-inch bronze-finish or Glint Black alloy wheels for a customized look that matches your personality (optional on the LX as well). The EX-L truly raises the HR-V experience, blending luxury, versatility, and signature Honda reliability.
