The Honda HR-V enters 2024 with the same price and equipment list as featured in 2023.
Honda is currently offering the base-model Vi X for $34,900 drive-away instead of $36,700, though it says the offer is valid only until December 31, 2023.
There are two variants of the HR-V.
The flagship e:HEV L features a hybrid powertrain and additional features including leatherette and cloth upholstery, heated front seats, and additional safety tech including blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert among other features.
The HR-V is Honda’s smallest SUV in Australia, slotting in under the ZR-V and CR-V.
Between January and November 2023, Honda sold 1928 examples of its HR-V. It was outsold by the MG ZS (27,736), Mazda CX-30 (12,308), GWM Haval Jolion (10,169), and Hyundai Kona (10,188).
