The 2021 Honda HR-V LX: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Honda HR-V LX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2021 Honda HR-V LX for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

What to check on the HR-V

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 63 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

The 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.09 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA measures its luggage space at 680 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the HR-V answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
