Costs & verdict
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
At first glance, the starting price of the Honda HR-V looks pretty punchy compared with what you'd pay for an entry-level Nissan Qashqai or Skoda Karoq. In reality, that's because Honda includes lots of equipment as standard. Spec for spec, the HR-V is priced broadly in line with those rivals.
For example, even the cheapest model, Elegance, comes with front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, heated front seats and keyless entry. Mid-level Advance trim – which is our pick of the range – adds a powered tailgate, leather upholstery and a heated steering wheel.
