2023 Honda HR-V

Honda completely redesigned the HR-V for 2023, and this Sport trim captures the best parts of that transformation: clean styling, an easy-to-live-with cabin, strong everyday technology, and a chassis that feels substantially more mature than the previous generation. Finished in Urban Gray with a cloth interior, this front-wheel-drive HR-V Sport uses a 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission, giving it a straightforward powertrain that is well suited to commuting, errands, and family use around Wesley Chapel. Honda rated the 2.0-liter engine at 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque when new. The CVT keeps the engine in an efficient operating range while the front-wheel-drive layout helps keep the vehicle light and predictable. A three-mode drive system provides ECON, Normal, and Snow settings, and Hill Start Assist plus Hill Descent Control add useful support on grades. The 2023 redesign also brought a multi-link independent rear suspension, helping the HR-V feel composed on uneven pavement and more settled during longer drives into Tampa. Sport trim gives this HR-V a more distinctive look than the base model. Eighteen-inch gloss-black alloy wheels, a gloss-black rear roofline spoiler, heated gloss-black power mirrors with integrated turn indicators, and unique interior accents create a sharper appearance without sacrificing practicality. Inside, Sport seats feature orange stitching, while Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock and remote engine start make everyday use easier. Heated front seats are especially useful on cooler mornings, while automatic climate control handles the much more common Florida heat. The cabin is intentionally simple and functional. A seven-inch color touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, putting maps, music, messaging, and compatible smartphone apps within easy reach. The Driver Information Interface presents key vehicle information clearly, and the center console provides useful storage without crowding the front seating area. The rear seat folds in a 60/40 split, allowing the HR-V to shift quickly between passenger space and cargo room for luggage, groceries, sports equipment, or weekend gear. Honda Sensing is standard and includes driver-assistance technology such as Collision Mitigation Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, adaptive cruise control with Low-Speed Follow, and automatic high beams. A multi-angle rearview camera adds another useful perspective when backing into a space. Those systems reduce workload in traffic and make the HR-V especially comfortable for regular commuting between New Tampa and downtown Tampa. This HR-V qualifies as Ford Blue Certified under the established automatic rules. Blue Certified coverage includes a 139-point inspection, a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, 24/7 Roadside Assistance, and app
