Honda HR-V - Urban SUV priced from $19,100

The compact SUV has officially been priced in the US, powered by a 1.8 I4 engine, and will go on sale starting May 15th.

The HR-V is based on the Honda City platform, positioned below its larger sibling, the CR-V. In late 2014, Honda launched the HR-V in Thailand for the Southeast Asian market, becoming a competitor to the Ford EcoSport. Nearly a year after its US debut in April 2014, the 2016 HR-V urban crossover officially announced its price.

The 2016 Honda HR-V starts at $19,100 in the US.

The HR-V boasts a sporty and youthful design, LED taillights, and 17-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels. In the US market, the 2016 HR-V is sold in three trim levels. The standard LX trim, priced at $19,100, includes features such as a multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, and a rearview camera. It also features a sunroof, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, a four-speaker sound system, and Bluetooth connectivity.

In addition to the standard features, the EX trim, priced at $21,200, adds automatic headlights, tinted windows, fog lights, and a power sunroof. It also includes automatic climate control, heated driver's seat, chrome trim, a six-speaker sound system, and an infotainment system with a 7-inch screen.

The top-of-the-line EX-L Navi, priced at $24,600, comes with leather-wrapped seats and steering wheel, auto-dimming rearview mirror, roof rails, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD radio, and GPS.

All three versions are equipped with a 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 141 horsepower and 172 Nm of torque. Standard equipment includes a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. A CVT transmission and all-wheel drive are optional.

In the US, the 2016 Honda HR-V competes with the Chevrolet Trax.
