- The Honda HR-V has sized itself to directly rival the Nissan Juke and Renault Kadjar but can it still cut the mustard, since the old Honda HR-V went out of sale in 2006? Let Mat take you through a full review in full 4k of this SUV, and see for yourself whether it's worth the extra price.

Hey what’s on your mind
A COW'S DYING LAST MOO YOU KILLED ME LMFAO
Yoseob Yang
That's a very accurate description, actually.
Hugh Neek and
Yoseob Yang That's something i'd expect coming out from Jeremy Clarkson's mouth, not Mat Watson...
found that so hilarious
A bit of a load lip is good, it means all your crap does not fall out of the boot when you open the tailgate on a hill. :)
Indeed man, I never thought of that! :)
Exactly!!!
I bought a 2017 Honda HR-V EX AWD today. The 1.8L 16 valve engine is not bad. There is a ECON button to turn off the gas efficiency to improve the performance and acceleration. Also there is a D and S shift position at the transmission shifter. The S position can improve the acceleration and transmission performance such as more climbing power. Most review do not mention about the P and S with the ECON button to improve the performance of the HRV.
slpip hi , how is the car, is a good car?
Better space than the toyota chr, without feeling claustrophobic!
I don't know why they care if you can fit three adults in the back seats, honestly who ever carries three grown people in the back

Honda makes good lookin cars lately
Yes, but engine choice is horible. 1.5 petrol is underpowered. There must be options like min. 2x more power petrol/diesel engines.. Or electric version with 400km range(that whould be best option imho)
@@adnanjusic4890 in my area, there are 2 avaiable option engine on HRV, 1.5 or 1.8 all petrol.
I just wanted to say how brilliant your reviews are. Every vehicle is reviewed properly. thank you carwow , keep up the good work
damn the european spec hr-v looks so much better with the led head lights, the north american one looks so cheap
because they charge more for the car in europe than in the americas.
Yeah, but the NA one can have AWD and a much better engine for that kind of car vs. the standard 1.5 in EU. The 1.6 diesel will not be an option after 2020 as more and more states will ban them in large towns and will make the European owner to pay big taxes every year...Maybe they will bring a turbo petrol one in the future :-)
***** good to know, don't really like the diesels, but wonder when they will bring those led lights to NA would be awsome
I really like the car but I think Honda needs to use better materials on this one. Right now it uses Chevy/Ford/Renault like plastics. Considering it cost much more than a Trax/EcoSport/Captur this is a huge minus. In Europe I see the Peugeot 2008 a much better option in this class right now considering the turbo 1.2 110 hp petrol engine, the better automatic transmision, the better materials used, the better acceleration and mpg and the good price vs. the HR-V. The Peugeot is 3.000 euros cheaper here (Romania) than the Honda when you compare similar trims/engines. P.S. I like Honda overall as my father has a 2.4 Accord Executive Navi (that was the top one when Honda was bringing it to Europe), but again, if Honda wants Mazda's/Toyota's succes in Europe, it needs to do something about the pricing and its engines. I look forward to the new Civic!
Andrei Petre ... yes but after 100 k. km you can throw Peugeot in garbage and Honda you can drive for min 500 k km.
I personally like the CVT box. I have a jazz with the CVT and I love the car to pieces. The CVT is absolutely perfect if you drive it properly useing the proper modes for the right conditions. I love how smooth and responsive the CVT is.
Thank you I'm looking at auto
@@alicehollamby1666Honda CVT’s are loud, but only when you’re accelerating hard. Very smooth in traffic too
Hahaha cow's dying last moo. OMG Mat 😂
Top Gear missed a golden opportunity ...
Yes, it's the BBC though - they wouldn't know talent if it squatted over them and farted. Best evidence of this is that Grimshaw bloke who presents on R1.
Gentle Brother Oh God yeah, completely agree with you there.
In 2020, their HR-V model was the most trouble-free new car sold by Honda.
liar. the 1.5 gasoline engine has serious oil problems
@@Norwegianization, The HR-V has the 1.8, not the 1.5. Your reply about the 1.5 was true in 2016. The oil delusion problem of the Honda 1.5 has been addressed and is no longer an issue.
@@reaality3860 no, if you watch scotty kilmer. he tells you the issue is still there.
@@Norwegianization, You are the liar. Go to 1:50. into this video and see what Scotty Kilmer really says about it. czcams.com/video/KN1ILMpzsk0/video.html
"The sound of a cow's dying moo" LOL MATT YOURE THE BEST
In Japan, you can choose 1.5 litre hybrid with i-DCD, Honda's unique DCT transmission.
I am from Bangladesh and I got the hybrid one from Japan. The 1.5 litre hybrid has a combined horsepower of 159 as compared to 130 in this one. Plus it is more fuel efficient. But the bad part is, you cant find a brand new one.
Even if you don't give a stuff about which car is being appraised the reviews are always entertainingly consistent in their format and style and very watchable - could do with Mat presenting for longer on a more in depth car-type TV show ;)
It might help if you understood what CVT does.
My girlfriend sister always opt to sit at the boot when there is too many people in the passenger sit lol. She actually like it and get less motion sickness sitting there.
Oh to be young again :)
I don't get the cvt bashing. My new HRV has plenty of power and is so quiet you can barely hear it. I think the cvt is fantastic. Just hoping it does good in the snow.
No, it's not a quiet or quick. My old w210 e280 Benz is so much smoother. The gas mileage is great tho.
I thought CVT meant Continuously variable transmission :-p
matt you need to become the TopGear UK host. please god!!
"A cow's dying last moo" - I'm thinking about getting this car, and if I do, I will have that phrase in my mind every time I hit the gas pedal LOL
That cow sound is accurate. I drove a friend's HRV and when stepping harder on the gas you hear that sound. It kinda sounds like when you're stuck in 1st gear in an automatic transmission.
I have a 1.5 petrol with the cvt box, it averages 52 mpg, at 67 mph it's only doing about 2000 rpm, you don't need to go about 3000 rpm when on main roads, it's a very good car.
Although watching reviews on carwow don't benefit me as i am not from Uk yet i watch them because they are entertaining.
Another immigrant to the uk ffs.
W Wood, wait, did you actually read that before making that stupid comment?
Why does Mat's accent change for the moment when he says the word "lovely" 😂
Amazing review as always btw !
It cost 65K pounds in Singapore and 1 can only use it for 10yrs.
Low spec 1.5 CVT model only. Grey imports you get the 1.5 DCT Hybrid. Now from Japan. Previously for Thailand factory...using the older SOHC 1.5. No sun roof, no side step, no honda sense, no hard trunk cover.
You should flash your height every time you do seat room, and maybe include how many square feet the cargo room amounts to in the back, and also when the back seats are lowered.
Im from Colombia and i buy one of this modelo 2021 yesterday and i love it. I love honda. Here come with 1.8 cc and 141 horse power. I has all i want in a suv
Get the 1.6 diesel with 6 speed manual 53mpg round local and 58 on run, smooth on motorway.
Haha Penn and Teller seats ;)
cheeky advertisement. haha

Hello! Been watching your car reviews! Just want to say great job and keep it up. Love how you provide simple yet necessary (imo) plus and minus points at the end of the reviews. May I request a Honda Jazz/Fit review? Thanks in advance! :D
A CVT gearbox does not make the noise that reviewers complain about, it's the engine revving up 🤓🤓
MOOOO. You're right.
do a comparison video between, mazda CX-3, toyota C-HR, and the Honda HR V
Yes.
Jackson Chai 8
Jackson Chai CX3 the winner hands down
I wish it had physical buttons and knobs to control the heating/air conditioner like the American model. I like the rest.
Hey mat, which one would you recommend between HR-V 1.5 and Nissan Qashqai, which one is more comfortable to drive? Will really appreciate your suggestion. Thanks.
there is outlander sport too for the rival
@@pengadunasib4231 no 😂
4:18 thats interesting the japanese version has a dct. Its called the vezel and is hubrid.
I live in pakistan and used japanese imported cars are very common here
the most common is probably the vitz (jaoanese yaris hatchback) and ofcourse the 660cc kei cars
"Like a cow's dying last moo." Had to laugh there. :-)
Well, why would u buy this old face model of HRV when u can get the facelift soon enough ?
FYI : the facelift its minor change, only change the headlamp much more like civic
Not being able to buy a 4WD version sucks, especially as we in the uk are paying more for the ex model compared with the other countries, still no Apple play, nice car to drive but there’s better out there with more extras and more mpg, plus you don’t have to wait 5 months for delivery.
Finally a new car that looks good!!1 Much rather have one than that weird CR-V but in general HOnda makes NORMAL looking cars, not as classy as the cars from VW, Audi, SKoda Seat etcetera but still very handsome.
With the exceptoin of that horrid Type-R off course.
But this HR-V seems to have it all, Snap gear changes, great feely steering, good looks, reliable engines. YES!!! This is a great car.
Firemarioflower any Japanese car is more reliable than Germans
I honestly do not care about the most of the cars Im a car guy... I just watch because of Matt
Great review as allways, love your videos.!
Any chance of a review of the 2019 HR-V Sport.? 🤞
Engine ? 16 valve? Mpg manual? Service intervals? 4 wheel drive option?
Cvt gear box get heat up if you stay in the long hours for traffic every day and you have to replace but this mostly happens to hybrid version of this vehicle.. Love to hear from you guyz
The CVT description was epic and accurate af
bt wat can a 1.5l do without a cvt.. its needed hear
This car is a hatchback on steroids. It's not a suv in any way. The Crv was already called a crossover, based on the Honda civic, but at least it had legit 4x4 capabilities, this car is even smaller than a Crv
i am interesting to buy this car next month what if i order it diesel engine and automatic? what is your opinion about my selection?
I don't want to alarm you sir, but your car has the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car. Not sure how Honda messed up so badly here by doing that. Wow. At least you were a good sport about it and drove it anyway. Even if you did drive it on the wrong side of the road as well.
EPIC! Hahaha. I expect this to be sarcasm though.
Hahaha! I hope so too!!!
Right is right. Nothing wrong.
It's why we all drive manuals its so much easier changing gear when the stick is on the left .. unless your a southpaw
i love this comment
5:38 My sister have this car. I'm quite sure they put that mesh to keep your thumb from getting stuck on a lock to lock turn. Why not solid? so the cluster can still peek through? I don't know
The sound on matts videos are getting worse.
Mat's been working on them triceps
Carwow, can you do a review for Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V?
This car has a design flaw. I bought a 2021 HRV on March1, 2021 and
noticed an irritating piercing whistling noise on my way home when I
cracked open any front window or moonroof. I brought it back to
Huntington Honda twice and they said they test drove 2 other new HRVs
and they made the same horrible noise. So I'm basically told this is
normal on all HRVs. I wonder if Honda has a design flaw or whether
Huntington Honda is sitting on a bad batch?
Matt didn't do his usual "buy it, short list..." routine with it. Could you please compare Mazda CX-5, Honda HRV, Audi Q3 and BMW X3?
Just thought of a useful invention for a car.
Fit a flush inset upside down letter T shape long handle on the back of the rear seat that pivots at the base of the T shape so you can easily push/pull the rear seat into position when your stood at the back of the car instead of straining yourself trying to pull it back at the top of the seat or mess about going to the rear door and pushing it back into position.
The hostage was the best bit! Funny Matt
In my country there are lots of cars in this model called “Vezel”
0:10 idk why i did that when i was late to go to school yesterday.. had no idea what happened😂
Thank you for the lovely music that brings me lots of pleasurable memories ❤️
great review Mat 👍 these HRV are tempting either HRV or a Civic tourer for me.
Trying to move an SUV with 1.5 liters and you wonder why it makes noise? Even the 1.8 we get is too small, but if I could afford it I would probably get one. 35 MPG with the 1.8 and manual.
Love your reviews!
A suggestion - bump up a volume a little bit please.
Always the best and funniest reviews. Thank you from Brazil!
on yes, very handsome model, will have to get myself one of these
The hostage part 😹😹😂😹😹
We got strange looks filming that
Best "auto reviewer" award for a/the foreign auto market. P.S. this guy is "crazzy" great. Come to America ty.
I wonder when it has it's mid cycle refresh will we in the states get a panoramic sunroof? Looks much nicer.
Hey Matt! Just wondering: why do you split your reviews on cars up into multiple videos (excluding the 360 degree)? I.e. the people/infotainment center, cabin, etc.
MidNightRyder1000 to get more views and therefore more ads play therefore he earns more money
Mat, the sitting position looks a little awkward. What is your impression?
A bit obsessed with very minor details such as configurable cup holders, scratchy plastic and ability to hold a huge water bottle.
God I hate those automatics. I've tried the same type in a Nissan Juke, nothing happens! Was very happy to find my work vehicle (Nissan Dualis) came with a manual.
thank you Matt! For always keep your video entertaining !!
I love this car. It is full of Honda premium quality and I personally love the cvt auto box it is the smoothest nicest auto box in the world. You just need to know how to drive the cvt box and you will find it the absolute best auto box. I have a honda jazz cvt auto and I love the box and the car to death. I would say that the cvt box is better than any bmw or Mercedes benz auto box. I think Honda have made a fantastic product as always. long live Honda.
Cameronvial Id like to know more im looking at the auto following an ankle injury could you expand on that
Cameronvial God help your soul, son.
If you ever drive a Mazda skyactiv box, you will love to death.
Is there any conpany or service provider to import cars from uk to any part of the world where the customer only needs to pay money and the rest is done by them??
This cars Japanese variant the Honda Vezel is a hybrid and gives an average of 20km per litre
Would really like to see a review of the 2016 Mazda CX 9 from you.
Get the hybrid version 1.5L petrol. Car is awesome and economic. Wonderful daily driver.
I'm 6ft3 and I couldn't sit in the back when I test drive one. I was completely hunched over due to the roofline.
6'2 same issue unless the seats are reclined .. kinda weird because it looks spacious
India needs this more than the BR-V. Honda, hope you're listening.
what a quality inside the car!we don't get such quality in India. oh!if I could have got such a car
thanks for the review. pls review the CX5 and CX3 from Mazda as well
There's vids on carbuyer of him reviewing them👍🏻
I hate those miniature so called space savers? Save what space may I ask? Save the manufacturer money, that;'s the only saving. Now no wheel at all? What are you supposed to do at 2 o clock in the morning when you are on your way home?
4:30 A cow's dying last Moo . I fell off my bed , damn you good Matt
When will the review for Honda Jazz be out?
The rearview mirror bezel is HUGE!
What's happened to the video and sound quality?
Ive got virtually the same spec and the wide alloy wheels really bump over bad surfaces. Also the steering lock is terrible. The body has a little bit of flex in the middle too, the occasional noise from the window frames over bumps. Good points are the interior is pretty nice and the space inside is amazing. The moonroof does take some headroom out.
Can you review the Sport that just came out? I’m in the US but have been following this release with baited breath and am so excited it finally came out! I’m hoping it will make its way to the States by the end of the year, but I want to know your thoughts. Thank you!
I hope you get your hands on the new Honda HRV soon.
Looking forward to your 5 things.
Can you please guide how to change the language to English in the InterNavi Premium club multimedia system?
In our country we don't get a HRV model it's called VEZEL for some reason idk
Comes with 1.5l petrol hybrid and a dual clutch transmission
Please do honda URV review you will be impressed
Please review the 2018 hrv, it just came out today, thanks!
i like how it looks outside, but i dont like that i cant open the trunk with the buttons on the keys, the levers to move the seats prefer it to be automatic. 2017 Honda civic Hatchback better
Worth a Share. Prefer manual as opposed to automatic. Automatic is dependent on electronic or technology--greater tendency for malfunction. Automatic is a convenience feature I'm willing to opt out re this particular car feature.
What's the deference between this and the vezel?
The is 1.5L not a super car ,it will make sound
Who saw the rear tail-light at 4:27 lol
dont agree with you Mat about the cvt.you dont accelerate all the time.once you are up to speed its fine.it also looks bigger than the rivals you mentioned.
john john I back this comment up I have a cvt if your a little boy racer then 1) you’ll find it annoying 2) you shouldn’t have a driving license if you drive like a human and not a buffoon you will find its fine
38 MPG?! That's quite a bit more than the EPA specs in the U.S. of 28 mpg. Something doesn't add up.
