New Honda CR-V vs. New Honda HR-V
New 2016 Honda CR-V vs. New 2016 Honda HR-V
The 2016 Honda HR-V and CR-V Are Prepared for Any Journey
The Honda CR-V has enjoyed immense popularity since its introduction to the crossover utility vehicle market in 1995, quickly becoming a best-selling compact CUV. Now, debuting in 2016, Honda debuts the HR-V in the subcompact CUV category, giving a more robust driving experience than the Civic but more car-like handling than a CR-V.
While both CUVs are fun to drive at affordable price points, seat five people, and come stacked with standard and available features, your choice of a 2016 Honda CR-V or HR-V depends on where you want to go and who or what you want to take along with you.
You might think that a subcompact CUV would offer less size all around, but you may be surprised to find that the 2016 Honda HR-V offers a whole inch more in rear legroom than the 2016 Honda CR-V. The total passenger volume isn’t that much of a difference, with the top passenger volume for the HR-V at 100.1 cu. ft. coming in slightly less than the maximum CR-V passenger volume at 104 cu. ft.
Other differences between these two models include:
- A Magic Seat in the HR-V for more versatility to haul cargo, arrange seats, and make space.
- 6-speed manual transmission in the HR-V for drivers who like feedback.
The 2016 CR-V Excels in Cargo Space Over the 2016 Honda HR-V
If you need as much available cargo space as possible, the 2016 Honda CR-V is your better choice. With the rear seats folded down, the 2016 CR-V offers the advantage with 70.9 cu. ft. of space, significantly more room than the HR-V’s 58.8 cu. ft.
In addition to more cargo space, the hands-free power tailgate available on the 2016 Honda CR-V Touring trim level makes it very easy to automatically lower or raise the tailgate with the push of a button. This feature is not available on the 2016 Honda HR-V.
No matter which vehicle you choose, you’ll be driving a vehicle from one of the most decorated car manufacturers in the world, historically winning awards for safety, best resale value, design, and more.
Our Honda sales team would be happy to discuss which model fits your needs and preferences when it comes to passengers, transmissions, cargo space, and more. We welcome customers from Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and anywhere else nearby.
