2027 Honda HR-V: What's New, Trims, Specs, and Features
The 2027 Honda HR-V carries a 158-hp 2.0L engine and standard Honda Sensing safety on every single trim. AWD is available across all three trim levels, which is a notable step up in flexibility from many competitors. This page covers every trim, spec, and key feature, browse current HR-V inventory at Fowler Honda in Norman.
What's New for 2027
The biggest story for the 2027 HR-V is the addition of Boost Blue Pearl to the exterior color lineup, giving buyers an eighth color option alongside the existing Platinum White Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Nordic Forest Pearl, Solar Silver Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl, Milano Red, and Urban Gray Pearl.
Beyond the new color, Honda carries forward the full Honda Sensing suite as standard equipment on LX, Sport, and EX-L, no upsell required. Traffic Jam Assist, which blends adaptive cruise control with lane-centering at low speeds, remains part of that standard suite, a feature several rivals still package as a paid option. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto also come standard on every trim, eliminating the frustration of a tethered connection from the entry level up.
Shoppers in Norman comparing the 2027 HR-V against the 2026 model will find a consistent, well-rounded package with no feature removals and one welcomed color addition.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 HR-V is offered in three trims: LX, Sport, and EX-L. AWD is an available upgrade on every trim, so no buyer is locked out of all-wheel traction by choosing a base or mid-grade model.
LX
LX is the entry point. It rides on 17-inch Pewter Gray alloy wheels and includes the full Honda Sensing suite, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless Qi charger, push-button start, hill start assist, hill descent control, and three drive modes (Econ, Normal, Snow). The audio system delivers 180 watts through four speakers.
Sport
Sport steps up to 18-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels and a Sport Grille. It adds Blind Spot Information (BSI), Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock, key-fob remote engine start, and gloss black exterior accents including mirror covers and a roofline spoiler. The audio system grows to six speakers. The Sport's 7.3-inch ground clearance (AWD) edges slightly above the other trims, useful on rougher Oklahoma roads.
EX-L
EX-L tops the lineup with 18-inch Machine-Finished alloys with Berlina Black inserts. It brings heated front seats, leather-trimmed seating, an 8-way power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-speaker 180-watt audio system, an automatic-dimming rearview mirror, a one-touch power moonroof, acoustic glass windshield, 4-front and 4-rear parking sensors, and Low-Speed Braking Control. Active Noise Cancellation is also EX-L exclusive.
Performance and Powertrain
Every 2027 HR-V uses the same 2.0L inline 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC engine producing 158 hp at 6,500 rpm and 138 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Power routes through a CVT to either front wheels or Honda's Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System.
Fuel economy in front-wheel-drive configuration is 26 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. EPA fuel economy data AWD models rate at 25 city, 30 highway, and 27 combined. The fuel tank holds 14 gallons of regular unleaded, so highway range stretches past 420 miles on a single fill for 2WD models.
The three drive modes (Econ, Normal, Snow) let the driver tune throttle and CVT response to conditions, which matters in an Oklahoma winter. Hill Descent Control adds low-speed confidence on steep grades, and the Eco Assist System coaches toward more efficient inputs through real-time feedback.
Honda quotes a tune-up interval of approximately 100,000 miles with no scheduled spark plug replacements required in that range, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The HR-V seats five across two rows. Front-row headroom measures 39.4 inches on LX and EX-L (38.4 on Sport), and front legroom is 41.9 inches. Second-row legroom holds at 37.7 inches, a figure that competes well in the subcompact SUV segment. Shoulder room is 56.6 inches up front and 55.2 in the rear.
Cargo behind the second row measures 24.4 cubic feet, a usable number for weekend errands or a Costco run. Fold the 60/40 split-folding rear seats and maximum cargo expands to 55.1 cubic feet, giving the HR-V genuine utility despite its compact footprint. A 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area keeps gear charged on longer hauls.
The LX offers manual height adjustment for the driver's seat. Sport adds auto up/down on the passenger window. EX-L equips the 8-way power driver's seat, leather-trimmed surfaces, and an illuminated vanity mirror for both driver and passenger. All trims include air conditioning with an air-filtration system.
Technology and Infotainment
The 9-inch color touchscreen is standard across every HR-V trim in 2027. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto connect without a cable. A Qi wireless phone charger sits in the center console. Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and Bluetooth streaming audio handle calls and audio. USB-C data and charging ports serve the front and center consoles.
The instrument cluster uses a 7-inch TFT multi-information display. HondaLink connectivity ties the HR-V to a smartphone app for remote vehicle monitoring. Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation adjusts audio output automatically as speed changes.
The Sport's six-speaker system and the EX-L's eight-speaker system both run through the same 180-watt amplifier, so the EX-L gains more spatial coverage rather than raw power. Active Noise Cancellation on the EX-L keeps cabin noise low enough that audio quality difference is noticeable at highway speeds. The acoustic glass windshield on EX-L reinforces that quieter character.
Traffic Jam Assist, standard on all trims, combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering to manage stop-and-go commutes with less driver fatigue, a genuinely useful feature for anyone navigating I-35 through Norman during rush hour.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Honda Sensing is standard on every 2027 HR-V trim. The suite includes Collision Mitigation Braking System, Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Traffic Sign Recognition, Driver Attention Monitor, and Auto High-Beam Headlights.
Airbag coverage is thorough: advanced front airbags, front knee airbags, advanced side airbags, side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, and rear outboard passenger side airbags. Post-Collision Braking System activates automatically after an initial impact to reduce secondary collision severity.
Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Distribution, and Brake Assist round out the active safety hardware. Tire Pressure Monitoring and a Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines are standard. The Rear Seat Reminder prompts the driver to check the rear seat after engine shutoff.
Sport and EX-L add Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor. EX-L further adds Low-Speed Braking Control and four front plus four rear parking sensors for tighter parking situations.
Who It's For and How It Compares to the Prior Year
The 2027 HR-V is the right choice for a buyer who wants a subcompact SUV with full safety tech from the entry trim, AWD availability at every level, and a cargo bay that genuinely swallows gear. The 55.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo and 7 inches of ground clearance make it practical without tipping into truck territory.
Buyers upgrading from a 2026 HR-V will find the 2027 model unchanged in drivetrain, dimensions, and feature structure. The addition of Boost Blue Pearl is the most visible update. If you are on the fence between model years, the 2027 delivers the same proven platform with one extra color and the same strong standard-safety value.
The HR-V fits well for commuters in Norman and nearby communities who need confident all-weather traction, wireless connectivity, and 32-mpg highway efficiency without stepping into a larger or more expensive vehicle class.
