The 2027 Honda HR-V brings together everyday versatility, modern technology, confident performance and the practicality drivers expect from a compact SUV. With seating for five, up to 1,559 litres of cargo capacity, an available Real Time AWD™ system and a generous selection of Honda Sensing® driver-assistance technologies, the HR-V is designed to handle everything from the weekday commute to a weekend away.
For drivers in the Mississauga and Greater Toronto Area, that versatility is especially valuable. Local driving can mean busy urban streets one day, highway commuting the next and challenging Ontario winter conditions a few months later. The 2027 HR-V approaches those different situations with a straightforward powertrain, useful drive modes and an interior designed around day-to-day usability.
Four configurations are identified in the Canadian specifications: LX 2WD, LX AWD, Sport and EX-L. While they share the same 2.0-litre engine and continuously variable transmission, differences in drivetrain, comfort equipment, wheels and premium features allow shoppers to choose an HR-V that better reflects their priorities.
Drivers interested in availability can explore our 2027 Honda HR-V inventory at Ideal Honda.
Every 2027 Honda HR-V in the Canadian specifications uses a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. With a displacement of 1,996 cc, the engine produces 158 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 138 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm.
The engine uses a 16-valve DOHC VTEC® configuration with variable valve timing and has a compression ratio of 10.8:1. Honda pairs it with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) throughout the lineup.
Rather than giving each trim a dramatically different powertrain, Honda maintains the same basic performance characteristics across LX, Sport and EX-L. This makes the trim decision more about traction, equipment, styling and comfort than choosing between different engines.
Three drive modes are included: Normal, ECON and Snow. Normal is intended for everyday driving, while ECON is designed to encourage more efficient operation. Snow mode gives drivers an additional setting for slippery winter conditions, something particularly relevant in Southern Ontario. The HR-V also includes Honda’s Eco Assist™ system, providing another tool for drivers who want to pay attention to efficient driving habits.
The 2027 Honda HR-V LX 2WD uses front-wheel drive, while an LX AWD configuration is available alongside the AWD Sport and EX-L models. The all-wheel-drive versions feature Honda’s Real Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System™.
The system is designed to respond when a loss of traction is detected by transferring torque to the rear wheels. For drivers who regularly encounter snow, rain and changing road conditions around Mississauga and the GTA, available all-wheel drive can provide additional confidence. The CVT complements the HR-V’s everyday character by providing continuously variable ratios rather than conventional fixed gears. The objective is smooth power delivery while helping the powertrain operate efficiently.
Underneath, every model receives a MacPherson-strut front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension. Electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering with a variable ratio is also standard. The HR-V has a turning diameter of 5.4 metres measured at the outside of the wheels. This relatively compact footprint and steering configuration are useful attributes for an SUV that may regularly navigate parking lots, residential streets and dense urban environments.
Fuel consumption is an important consideration for a compact SUV, particularly for commuters covering substantial distances throughout the Greater Toronto Area. According to the Canadian specifications, the front-wheel-drive HR-V LX 2WD is rated at 9.1 L/100 km in the city, 7.4 L/100 km on the highway and 8.3 L/100 km combined. Models equipped with Real Time AWD™ are rated at 9.5 L/100 km city, 7.8 L/100 km highway and 8.7 L/100 km combined.
The difference between the combined ratings is therefore 0.4 L/100 km. Buyers can weigh the lower fuel consumption of the front-wheel-drive configuration against the additional traction capability of AWD. All versions use regular gasoline and have a 53-litre fuel tank. Honda also equips the HR-V with a capless fuel-filler system.
These ratings are estimates based on the Government of Canada’s five-cycle testing method. Actual fuel consumption will vary according to driving style, traffic, weather, road conditions and other factors.
The 2027 Honda HR-V is a compact SUV, but Honda has placed considerable emphasis on making its interior practical. There is seating for five occupants, and all versions feature a 60/40 split-folding rear seatback. With the rear seats in their normal position, the HR-V provides 691 litres of cargo volume. Fold them down and maximum cargo capacity increases to 1,559 litres.
That flexibility makes the HR-V suitable for more than commuting. Groceries, luggage, recreational equipment and larger purchases can be accommodated by changing the rear seating configuration when necessary. Passenger dimensions are also noteworthy. Front and rear legroom measure 1,064 mm and 958 mm respectively, while shoulder room is 1,438 mm in front and 1,402.2 mm in the rear. The LX specifications list an interior volume of 2,794.2 litres, while the EX-L is listed at 2,755.3 litres. Headroom also varies depending on configuration and equipment.

Technology is one of the areas where the 2027 HR-V offers an especially useful set of standard features. Every version includes a 9-inch colour touchscreen along with a 7-inch TFT driver-information display. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity can be used either wired or wirelessly, giving drivers convenient access to compatible smartphone functions.
A Qi-compatible wireless phone charger is also standard across the specifications. USB-C connectivity is provided as well, helping occupants keep compatible devices connected and charged. The audio system changes according to trim. LX models have four speakers, the Sport increases that number to six, and the EX-L receives an eight-speaker system.
This means buyers do not have to move to the highest trim simply to obtain the 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration or wireless charging. Instead, higher trims build on that technology with additional comfort and audio features.
Even the HR-V LX includes features designed to make daily driving easier. A push-button start, proximity key system, remote engine starter and Walk-Away Auto Lock® are listed across the lineup. Heated front seats are also included on all four configurations, an important convenience during Ontario winters.
The Sport adds a more distinctive character. It features 18-inch black aluminum-alloy wheels, black exterior mirrors, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob and dual-zone automatic climate control. A one-touch power moonroof with tilt and slide functionality is also included. The EX-L builds further on the HR-V’s comfort features with leather-trimmed seating and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. It also features a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel and dual-zone climate control.
These distinctions create a fairly clear progression. LX focuses on the HR-V’s core practicality and technology, Sport adds visual character and additional amenities, while EX-L targets buyers looking for a more upscale cabin.
The following comparison highlights some of the most relevant differences and similarities in the Canadian 2027 HR-V lineup.

The comparison demonstrates an important characteristic of the lineup: choosing an entry-level HR-V does not mean giving up its core engine, cargo capacity or principal connectivity features. Moving upward through the range primarily adds AWD where applicable, larger wheels, styling changes and additional comfort equipment.
The 2027 Honda HR-V includes a substantial collection of driver-assistance technologies.
The Canadian specifications list Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, Traffic Jam Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition across the lineup.
Automatic high beams, a blind spot information system and rear cross traffic alert are also listed on all four configurations. The HR-V further incorporates active safety technologies such as an anti-lock braking system, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, Vehicle Stability Assist® with traction control and hill start assist.
Passive safety equipment includes three-point seatbelts at every seating position, front airbags, knee airbags for the driver and front passenger, SmartVent™ front side airbags, rear outboard side airbags and side curtain airbags with rollover sensors. A multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines is standard. Front and rear parking sensors are identified specifically for the EX-L in the supplied specifications. As with any driver-assistance technology, these systems have operating limitations and do not replace attentive driving.
The HR-V’s combination of manageable exterior dimensions, useful cargo space and available AWD makes sense for the varied driving environments found around Ideal Honda’s market. A driver may spend much of the week commuting on busy roads and highways but still want enough cargo flexibility for shopping, hobbies or weekend travel. The HR-V addresses that need without moving into a substantially larger SUV.
Its Snow drive mode and available Real Time AWD™ are also relevant when winter weather arrives. At the same time, buyers who do not need AWD can select the LX 2WD and benefit from its lower official combined fuel-consumption rating.
The 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats and comprehensive driver-assistance equipment also mean that many desirable everyday features are available without necessarily choosing the most expensive configuration. The best way to determine whether its dimensions, driving position and performance suit your needs is to experience the vehicle in person. You can book a Honda HR-V test drive with Ideal Honda.
The 2027 Honda HR-V uses a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine across the Canadian lineup. It produces 158 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 138 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm and is paired with a continuously variable transmission.
Yes. The LX can be configured with Real Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System™, while the Sport and EX-L specifications also feature AWD. The LX 2WD uses front-wheel drive.
The front-wheel-drive LX is rated at 9.1 L/100 km city, 7.4 L/100 km highway and 8.3 L/100 km combined. AWD models are rated at 9.5 L/100 km city, 7.8 L/100 km highway and 8.7 L/100 km combined. Actual consumption can vary.
The HR-V provides 691 litres of cargo capacity with the rear seats upright. Folding the 60/40 split rear seatbacks increases cargo capacity to a maximum of 1,559 litres.
Every 2027 HR-V configuration in the Canadian specifications has seating for five.
Yes. The specifications list both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ with wired and wireless connectivity across all four configurations. A 9-inch touchscreen and Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging are also included.
Yes. Heated front seats are listed on the LX 2WD, LX AWD, Sport and EX-L. The Sport and EX-L also feature a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The EX-L features leather-trimmed seating and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. LX and Sport versions use cloth seating surfaces.
The supplied Canadian specifications list a one-touch power moonroof with tilt and slide functionality on the Sport and EX-L.
The answer depends primarily on how much you value AWD, styling and additional comfort equipment. The LX 2WD offers the lowest official combined fuel-consumption figure and retains many of the HR-V’s core technologies. The LX AWD adds the traction benefits of Real Time AWD™. Sport adds 18-inch wheels, distinctive exterior details and upgraded comfort equipment, while EX-L adds features such as leather-trimmed seating, an eight-way power driver’s seat and an eight-speaker audio system.
The 2027 Honda HR-V delivers a practical balance for drivers looking for a compact SUV without sacrificing useful passenger space, modern connectivity or everyday versatility. Its 158-horsepower 2.0-litre engine and CVT provide a consistent powertrain across the range, while the choice between front-wheel drive and Real Time AWD™ lets buyers prioritize efficiency or additional all-weather traction.
Add up to 1,559 litres of cargo space, seating for five, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, heated front seats and an extensive collection of Honda Sensing® technologies, and the HR-V becomes a compelling option for everyday driving in Mississauga and throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
