2024 Honda HR-V Summary

Like many car brands, Honda is storming the hybrid field. The new HR-V brings with it a hybrid powertrain and external facelift but is it enough to keep it competitive in the small SUV segment?

We're testing out the top hybrid model, the L, to see what else this urban dweller gets right and what it sometimes gets wrong.
