Stylish, sporty, highly versatile, full of content and named the 2016 Green SUV of the Year - just some of the many reasons to check out the 2017 Honda HR-V.

Honda's HR-V is only entering its second model year for 2017, but it has not been hiding in the shadows of its competition. Rather the HR-V is taking the market by storm.

With a zippy yet frugal 1.8L I-VTEC® 4cyl engine making 141hp and 127 lb.-ft of torque mated to your choice of a CVT or (drumroll please) 6 speed manual transmission, front or Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ the right HR-V for your needs is not hard to come by. Having driven both the manual and CVT editions I can say that both drive admirably. The manual shifts are short and crisp with a light clutch that anyone can master. The CVT manages to squeeze every last mile per gallon of fuel possible, all the while responding in time with changing conditions. Hoping to get around 30MPG with all weather capability and cargo room to boot? Look no further.

There are three trim levels of HR-V; LX, EX & EX-L Navi. Both LX and EX are available with two or all wheel drive, the EX-L Navi coming solely with the CVT & AWD. Regardless of which trim suits you best Honda has you covered on the content. Every HR-V rolls of the factory line sporting 17" alloy wheels, push button parking brake with brake hold, a rear view camera, Pandora® and Bluetooth® audio streaming, keyless entry and more. The EX ups the ante with rear privacy glass, a power moonroof, heated mirrors with turn signal indicators, variable intermittent wipers, automatic climate control with heated front seats, keyless access with push button start and a 180 watt 6 speakers touchscreen audio system. Go all out with the EX-L Navi and enjoy leather seats, Honda Navigation with HD & SiriusXM® radio and roof rails.

All HR-V's share this in common; a well balanced, sporting yet comfortable ride that inspires confidence on back roads all the while properly damping road irregularities to a "thump" under you. While you will hear road noise on the highway, it's best to keep in mind that this little ute is built off of the Honda Fit platform thus helping to refresh your mind that this is not aiming to be a silent luxury yacht.

The HR-V has loads of personality all wrapped into a handsome shell with youthful antics, astonishing versatility and impressive fuel economy. What are you waiting for, go grab one before they're gone!
