2016 Honda HR-V - Valley News
Bottom line: The all-new 2016 HR-V goes to the top of my list of affordable, sensible, high-quality, high-utility vehicles. The leather-covered seats in the EX-L Navi were a bit hard on a long drive. Head-turning quotient: The HR-V, regardless of trim level, looks perfectly at home on any church or school parking lot. Body style/layout: The new HR-V is not a shrunken CR-V, nor is it an enlarged Fit. It fits everything most of us want and need in an urban vehicle, available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. There are three trim levels: LX, EX and EX-L. The rear-most seats fold floor-flat for bulk packages, the passenger-side front seat goes down to accommodate a load length of eight feet, and other interior arrangements easily are made to handle a vertical stack height of four feet. Pet note: The HR-V is dog-friendly. Safety: Standard equipment includes ventilated front and solid rear disc brakes, four-wheel anti-lock brake protection, emergency braking assistance, traction and stability control, tire-pressure monitoring, and side and head air bags. Pricing: Base prices for the 2016 HR-V range from $19,115 for the front-wheel-drive HR-V LX to $25,840 for the EX-L Navi with all-wheel drive. Estimated price as tested is $26,720. $25,840 for the fully loaded EX-L Navi plus an $880. Source: www.vnews.com
