5 Reasons the 2024 Honda HR-V Is the Ultimate Urban SUV

City living and urban driving present compact SUVs with a unique set of challenges. To be effective, a vehicle must be small enough for petite parking spots yet useful enough to manage plenty of shopping in a single trip, and safe enough to trust with your life. And while there are many compact SUVs on the road, for our money, the 2024 Honda HR-V takes the cake.

5 Reasons the 2024 Honda HR-V Is the Ultimate Urban SUV

1. Compact, Yet Capable

Coming in at just under 180 inches long and with a turning diameter of just 35.1 feet, the 2024 HR-V is compact enough to make tucking into any parking spot a breeze and nimble enough to weave in and out of traffic at whim. Yet the inside is much more spacious than one might think from its petite frame; with over 37 inches of legroom in the back seat and over 24 cubic feet of storage behind the back bench, the inside feels positively cavernous.

2. Fun and Sporty

Driven by a 2.0-liter, DOHC VTEC engine, the 2024 HR-V offers 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, making it both peppy and playful when it comes time to put the hammer down. And with Honda’s Real-Time AWD with Intelligent Control System available on every trim, the fun can get an upgrade, offering more traction in foul weather and even more confidence when cornering.
The standard 3-mode drive system also lets you pick how punchy you want the drive to be with Normal, ECON, and Snow modes.

3. Downright Luscious

It’s easy for compact SUVs to fall into a utilitarian trap of boring interiors and lackluster features. But the 2024 HR-V has plenty of luxe touches to offer. Heated and leather-trimmed front seats are available, a moonroof comes standard on the EX-L trim, Qi-compatible wireless charging is on offer, and standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration become wireless on the top trim, too.
Moreover, the cabin has been designed with ergonomics in mind, with bright and easy-to-read displays and controls that are intuitive to use.

4. Very, Very Quiet

Honda has really thought through the impact of noise and vibration with the HR-V. Active Noise Cancelation comes standard on every trim to reduce outside interference and noise, while Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation lets the HR-V dynamically adjust the volume to counteract highway noise.

5. Safety Comes Standard 

Honda offers plenty of built-in safety features for the 2024 HR-V. Standard Honda Sensing driver-assist technology includes features like Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow for easier and safer highway driving, Traffic Jam Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition System for better urban control.

With so many reasons to love the HR-V, the only question now is which trim you crave most. Test drive the 2024 HR-V today at Tony Honda Kona in Kailua-Kona, HI.
