Honda SUVs have become popular in our area, and at Navarre Honda, many customers have chosen the HR-V or the CR-V. These two-row SUVs have many amenities and will help you stay safe on Lake Charles, LA roads. They also have excellent value. Which one might be better for you? This overview will highlight important differences, and armed with this information, you can make the right decision.

Affordability

Price plays a big role when looking for a new vehicle. Fortunately, these Honda SUVs have very reasonable price tags, especially given all they offer. However, the HR-V has the advantage in this area. All three HR-V trims are priced lower than the entry-level trim of the CR-V, and the most advanced CR-V trim costs almost $12,000 more than the most well-equipped HR-V. If budget is your most important factor, you'll certainly notice this distinction.

Performance

The CR-V may cost more than the HR-V but offers more, especially in performance. Its standard powertrain makes 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, and its hybrid system can generate 204 horsepower. The HR-V's 2.0-liter engine makes 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. This is still a nice amount of power, and it should be more than sufficient if you don't plan on tackling extremely tough challenges in your new SUV. The great news is that both SUVs can be set up with all-wheel drive. This can give you better traction when the roads get a bit slick from Moss Bluff, LA to Jennings, LA.

Efficiency

These two Hondas do well regarding efficiency, too, so you can consider them if you'd like to get a new SUV with good fuel economy. The HR-V can earn as much as 32 miles per gallon on the highway and 26 miles per gallon in the city. The CR-V beats those marks with an estimated fuel economy of 34 miles per gallon on the highway and 28 miles per gallon in the city. You can save even more gas by getting a hybrid CR-V. In this case, your estimated fuel economy would be 36/43 (highway/city) miles per gallon.

Size
rnrn
Some people prefer the HR-V because of its compact frame. With an overall length of 179.8 inches, it's quite easy to park and maneuver when dealing with small parking spots and busy city streets. Even though it's on the smaller side of the spectrum, it treats your passengers to a generous amount of legroom. Its second row provides almost 38 inches of legroom. Additionally, the HR-V can accommodate a variety of cargo. When the rear seats are up, cargo volume measures 24.4 cubic feet. When you lower those seats, you'll increase cargo capacity to 55.1 cubic feet.

The CR-V is five inches longer than the HR-V and slightly wider and taller. This translates into more cabin space, which could make this model more appealing to some customers. If you have taller people riding with you, you might prefer the CR-V because it has 41 inches of second-row legroom. Its cargo hold seems expansive, with a volume of 39.3 cubic feet, and when the rear seatback has been folded down, the cargo volume measures 76.5 cubic feet.

Similar Features

In other ways, the Honda CR-V and Honda HR-V seem pretty similar. They will help you stay safe using their driver-assist systems, and they both offer large touchscreens with smartphone compatibility and available navigation.
