Learn About the 2026 Honda HR-V at Elk Grove Honda
Honda has bestowed the 2026 HR-V with a considerable round of upgrades, which makes it an even stronger contender for Elk Grove, CA drivers. Across the entire trim range, a larger 9-inch infotainment display is now standard, with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. A wireless charger joins the list, keeping devices topped up without cables in the way. Those improvements support the HR-V's inherent appeal, a cabin that's surprisingly roomy for its segment class and a ride that's tuned for comfort and composure on everything from daily errands to weekend runs.
Instead of seeking outright speed like rivals, the Hyundai Kona or Mazda CX-30, the HR-V is happy to provide a serene, dependable drive. Its 2.0-liter engine values smoothness over sheer power, something that would be appropriate for its sensible nature.
The 2026 Honda HR-V is available in three trim levels:
- LX
- Sport
- EX-L
LX trim is an excellent value with a generous list of standard features. Sport trim is the best overall value, introducing nice niceties like heated front seats, remote start, keyless entry, and stylish 18-inch black wheels without pricing it out. The top-of-the-line EX-L throws in premium leather seating and a power sunroof for a more upscale atmosphere.

Interior: A Surprisingly Spacious Cabin
The interior of the 2026 Honda HR-V borrows its pleasant and retro appearance from the Honda Civic. The seats in front are cozy and supportive, and the adjustment is ample. The cabin's configuration is practical with plenty of conveniently placed storage cubbies for everyday use.
HR-V is a five-passenger subcompact crossover with extremely versatile cargo space. Rear LATCH anchors that come standard make it a family-friendly vehicle.
Cargo space is a plus; there is 24.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear row, and if you fold the rear seat, there is 55.1 cubic feet of space.
Exterior: Sleek Styling and Fresh Updates
Drawing design cues from the upscale CR-V, the 2026 Honda HR-V boasts a sophisticated, fluid look that is imbued with confidence and refinement. For this year's model, Honda introduces discreet yet meaningful changes that give each trim level its own personality.
LX now includes rear privacy glass, bringing functionality and style. Step up to the Sport, and the atmosphere shifts – its honeycomb mesh grille and black 18-inch alloy wheels make it more intimidating on the road. At the top of the range, the EX-L becomes even more civilized, premium-flavored, on fresh 18-inch machine-finish wheels and with one-touch power moonroof. No matter the variant that you prefer, confrontational LED headlights take the lead and give the HR-V a crisp, modern signature.
The following exterior colors are available:
- Boost Blue Pearl (New for 2026)
- Solar Reflection Metallic (New for 2026)
- Crystal Black Pearl
- Lunar Silver Metallic
- Modern Steel Metallic
- Platinum White Pearl
Performance: Comfortable and Confident Handling
Under the hood of the 2026 Honda HR-V is a 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine with an aluminum block and head that packs 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a smooth and predictable continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is conducive to the stop-and-go nature of urban life. It won't be a winner in most drag races, but its acceleration will be balanced and placid. Standard is front-wheel drive, but every trim offers the option of Honda's durable all-wheel drive system to deliver added confidence in the rain, snow, or on bumpy roads.
Underneath, HR-V is supported by chassis tuning borrowed from the Civic, which delivers a solid feel on the highway and stable confidence in corners. Its back suspension, an upgrade over the torsion beams used in some competitors, soaks up bumps without dulling steering response. 12.3-inch ventilated discs in the front and 12.2-inch solid discs in the rear are utilized for braking, delivering consistent stopping force. The steering is light enough to perform parking maneuvers quickly enough, but precise enough to provide drivers with confidence when the road starts to curve.
