Honda HR-V Trim Levels Explained [2027 Guide]

Shopping for a 2027 Honda HR-V but not sure which trim makes the most sense? Honda keeps the HR-V lineup refreshingly straightforward, with three options to choose from: LX, Sport, and EX-L.

All three trims share the same 2.0-liter engine and core HR-V design, but each one adds features aimed at a different type of driver. The LX focuses on everyday value, the Sport adds more style and convenience, and the EX-L brings a more premium interior and additional technology.

Here’s what you should know about the 2027 Honda HR-V trim levels before choosing your next SUV.

2027 Honda HR-V Trim Levels at a Glance

The 2027 HR-V starts at $26,600 MSRP for the LX, while the Sport starts at $28,400 and the EX-L starts at $30,450. Honda also offers available Real Time AWD™ across the lineup.

*MSRP excludes destination, taxes, registration, licensing, accessories and applicable charges. Dealer pricing may vary.

2027 Honda HR-V LX: Practical and Well-Equipped

The 2027 Honda HR-V LX is the starting point for the lineup, but “entry-level” doesn’t mean bare-bones.

Under the hood, every HR-V uses a 158-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. The LX also includes a 9-inch color touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™, giving you convenient access to navigation, music, messages and other smartphone functions.

The LX also comes equipped with Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technologies, including features such as:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow

• Lane Keeping Assist System

• Road Departure Mitigation System

• Rearview camera with dynamic guidelines

Real Time AWD™ is available if you want additional traction for changing road conditions.

Choose the LX if: You want an HR-V with the essential technology, safety features and versatility you need without paying for premium extras you may not use.

2027 Honda HR-V Sport: More Style, More Convenience

Moving up to the HR-V Sport adds more than a different badge. This trim gives the crossover a noticeably sportier appearance and adds several features that can make everyday driving more comfortable.

The Sport rides on 18-inch gloss-black alloy wheels and adds a gloss-black grille, matte-black bumper and exclusive badging. It also includes Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock®, remote engine start and heated front seats.

That combination makes the Sport a compelling middle ground. You don’t have to jump all the way to the top trim to get features that feel like a meaningful upgrade over the LX.

The Sport also retains the same 158-horsepower engine found in the rest of the lineup, so choosing this trim is primarily about equipment, styling and convenience rather than getting a more powerful powertrain.

Choose the Sport if: You like the HR-V’s practical size but want a more distinctive exterior and useful comfort features for your daily drives.

2027 Honda HR-V EX-L: The Premium Choice

At the top of the lineup is the 2027 Honda HR-V EX-L. With a $30,450 starting MSRP, the EX-L adds several features that give the cabin a more upscale feel.

The biggest difference is inside. The EX-L features leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. It also adds dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-speaker 180-watt audio system and a one-touch power moonroof.

The EX-L also adds parking sensors and Low-Speed Braking Control, providing additional assistance when maneuvering in tight spaces.

Choose the EX-L if: You spend a lot of time behind the wheel and want the HR-V’s most comfortable and feature-rich cabin.

Which 2027 Honda HR-V Trim Is Right for You?

There’s no single “best” HR-V trim for every driver. The better question is which features matter most to you.

Choose the LX if value is your priority

The LX gives you the fundamentals without making you pay for upgrades you don’t necessarily need. You still get the 158-horsepower engine, 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity and a comprehensive collection of Honda Sensing safety features.

Choose the Sport if you want the sweet spot

The Sport is worth considering if you’re looking for a little more personality and convenience. The 18-inch gloss-black wheels, heated front seats and remote engine start make it feel like a substantial step up without reaching EX-L pricing.

Choose the EX-L if comfort comes first

If premium cabin features are high on your list, the EX-L is the obvious choice. Leather-trimmed seating, an 8-way power driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control and a power moonroof make it especially appealing for commuters and drivers who plan to keep their HR-V for years.

Does the 2027 Honda HR-V Have AWD?

Yes. Real Time AWD™ is available on all three 2027 Honda HR-V trims. The system can help optimize traction and stability when road conditions change.

For drivers around the Portland area, AWD can be particularly appealing when dealing with wet roads, winter conditions or trips into areas where traction can change quickly.

The HR-V also includes Snow Mode. Snow Mode adjusts transmission and throttle behavior to help minimize wheel slippage when driving on snowy surfaces. Hill Descent Control is also available on the HR-V.

Keep in mind that choosing AWD affects fuel economy. Honda lists the front-wheel-drive HR-V at up to 26 city/32 highway MPG, while available AWD is rated at 25 city/30 highway MPG.

What Makes the 2027 HR-V Different From Trim to Trim?

One of the advantages of the HR-V lineup is that the core vehicle doesn’t change dramatically between trims. You’re choosing among different levels of equipment rather than entirely different vehicles.

Every trim gets the same 158-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, while the biggest differences are in styling, comfort and convenience equipment.

That makes the decision relatively simple:

LX → Best value
Sport → Best balance of style and convenience
EX-L → Most premium features
