The Honda HR-V was one of the first sub-compact SUVs to hit the market. Slightly refreshed two years ago, it returns for 2021 with no significant changes. Once again, the only powertrain you can choose is a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque via a continuously variable transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard and all-wheel drive is optional. A new generation isn’t too far away.
