2016 Honda HR-V Video, First Look

Honda is the latest automaker to jump into the subcompact crossover segment with its new HR-V, unveiled at the 2014 LA Auto Show. 

Based on the small Honda Fit, the HR-V will be powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 138 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque, mated to a CVT. There will also be a six-speed manual gearbox, but it’s only available on the front-wheel drive models.
