What Changed

The 2027 price and destination charge moved. The HR-V itself didn't.

Honda's 2027 specifications match the 2026 figures for engine, transmission, EPA ratings, dimensions and cargo. The differences are the MSRP, the destination charge and the trim pricing that follows from them.

💰 Price: +$400 on every trim

Each 2027 trim lists $400 above its 2026 MSRP. The LX FWD moved from $26,200 to $26,600, and the EX-L AWD from $31,550 to $31,950.

🧾 Destination: $1,395 to $1,450

Honda's destination charge rose $55. With destination, the 2027 LX FWD totals $28,050, compared with $27,595 for the 2026 LX FWD.

🔧 Engine and mileage: unchanged

Both years use the 2.0-liter four with 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT. EPA ratings are 28 mpg combined for FWD and 27 for AWD.

📏 Size and cargo: unchanged

Length (179.8 in), wheelbase (104.5 in) and width (72.4 in) match in both years. Cargo is 24.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 55.1 cubic feet with them folded.

Atlanta Driving Guide

How the HR-V handles Atlanta's commutes, decks and weather.

Fuel costs use EPA combined ratings at $3.00 a gallon. Both model years share the same ratings, so the costs match.

GA-400 & I-285

Fuel for a daily commute

A 50-mile round trip over 250 workdays is 12,500 miles a year. At 28 mpg combined, FWD costs about $1,339 a year in fuel. At 27 mpg, AWD costs about $1,389.

Fit: FWD saves about $50 a year in fuel compared with AWD.
Midtown & Buckhead

Parking decks and tight garages

At 179.8 inches long and 72.4 inches wide, the HR-V is compact for a crossover. Its height is 63.4 inches on the LX and EX-L and 63.8 inches on the Sport.

Fit: Check your garage clearance against the 63.8-inch Sport height.
Game days & errands

Passengers and cargo

The HR-V seats five. Behind the rear seats it holds 24.4 cubic feet, and with the 60/40 split seats folded it holds 55.1 cubic feet.

Fit: Five seats and 55.1 cubic feet suit couples and small families more than full three-row crowds.
Rain & hills

Real Time AWD and drive modes

Real Time AWD is available on every trim and adds $1,500 to the MSRP. Every trim has Econ, Normal and Snow drive modes. AWD costs 1 mpg combined compared with FWD.

Fit: AWD is the choice for slick roads. FWD is enough for most metro Atlanta driving.

What your commute costs in fuel

Estimated yearly fuel at $3.00 a gallon, using EPA combined ratings. Both model years show the same cost for the same drivetrain.

Direct answers, with sources noted.

What changed on the 2027 Honda HR-V?

Honda raised the MSRP of every trim by $400 and the destination charge from $1,395 to $1,450. The engine, transmission, EPA ratings, dimensions and cargo space match the 2026 figures in Honda's published specifications.

Which trim is the best value?

It depends on the features you need. The LX is the lowest-priced trim at $26,600 MSRP in 2027. The Sport ($28,400) adds heated front seats, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic monitoring, remote engine start, 18-inch wheels and a 6-speaker audio system. The EX-L ($30,450) adds an 8-speaker audio system and the leather-trimmed interior listed on Honda's trim page.

Is there a hybrid or turbo HR-V?

No. Honda lists one engine for every 2026 and 2027 HR-V trim: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 158 hp and 138 lb-ft, paired with a CVT. Honda's larger CR-V is offered as a hybrid.

Which year gets better gas mileage?

Neither. Both years are rated at 28 mpg combined for FWD (26 city / 32 highway) and 27 mpg combined for AWD (25 city / 30 highway), based on EPA estimates. Actual mileage varies with driving conditions and maintenance.

How much cargo space does the HR-V have?

The HR-V has 24.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 55.1 cubic feet with the 60/40 split rear seats folded. The figures are the same for 2026 and 2027.

Is the HR-V safe?

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim in both years. It includes collision mitigation braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist and traffic sign recognition. KBB reports NHTSA ratings for the 2025 model year of 5.0 for frontal crash, 5.0 for side barrier, 4.0 for rollover and 5.0 for side crash, and notes that 2026 ratings may differ.
