Curious what others think the price range will be for the HRV.

Fit ranges from low $16,000 to nearly $22,000.
CRV ranges from low $24,000 to nearly $34,000.

Most seem to be interested in the CVT EX which has a price range of around $18,000 for the Fit to about $28,000 for the CRV.

So an AWD CVT EX for around $23,000 MSRP?

That makes sense to me. In Canada we will have to add on 15-25%. What exchange rate auto manufactures use is alway a crap shoot.

 

[HRV4ME]

If the CVT EX AWD hits at $23,000 for MSRP, then it will be priced right where it needs to and still undercut a comparable equipped CX-3.

I think those estimates are way high. If you compare the current lineup in Canada and the US, the Canadian markup is just a few percent. Making Hondas a deal at current exchange rates. I don't think they can price the exchange rate in on this car just because it's new, either; that would throw it out of whack with the rest of the lineup.

In the Aussie CX3 vs HR-V article posted elsewhere, they mention the CX3 as around $600 (I think) cheaper than the Honda, so I wouldn't count on them undercutting it here. I think Honda still has a bit more premium rep than Mazda.

 

[HRV4ME]

Like the CX-5, is that for a base CX3?

I think they were comparing similar models. The CX3 was the MAXX, one up from the NEO... whatever that means.

My dealer said the HRV is being viewed as a step between the FIT and CRV, which are priced as follows for the 2WD models with CVT:

FIT 2WD LX w/CVT - $16,450
CRV 2WD LX w/CVT - $23,445

FIT 2WD EX w/CVT - $18,360
CRV 2WD EX w/CVT - $25,545

FIT 2WD EXL w/CVT - $19,925
CRV 2WD EXL w/CVT - $28,145

So if we place the HRV exactly halfway, pricewise, between the FIT and CRV counterparts, subtract $800 for the manual versions (as they do for the FIT), and add $1250 for the AWD versions (as they do for the CRV), we get the following (provided all these variants are available in the LX, EX, and EXL):

HRV 2WD LX Manual - $19,147.50
HRV 2WD LX w/CVT - $19,947.50
HRV AWD LX Manual - $20,397.50
HRV AWD LX w/CVT - $21,197.50

HRV 2WD EX Manual - $21,152.50
HRV 2WD EX w/CVT - $21,952.50
HRV AWD LX Manual - $22,402.50
HRV AWD LX w/CVT - $23,202.50

HRV 2WD EXL Manual - $23,235.00
HRV 2WD EXL w/CVT - $24,035.00
HRV AWD EXL Manual - $24,485.00
HRV AWD EXL w/CVT - $25,285.00

Honda typically adds a $820 destination charge to all their vehicles, which I didn't include in the above figures.

We'll see how close these are!

From your mouth to Honda's ears. I would like that pricing, if true.

Thanks Leon, good work!

I'd love to see the same breakdown for Canadian prices, but haven't the time right now. I'm guessing an additional $3-5k on these prices.

 

[vickenp]

EXL- AWD and Manual - Check!

 

[CdnColin]

Thanks Leon, good work!

I'd love to see the same breakdown for Canadian prices, but haven't the time right now. I'm guessing an additional $3-5k on these prices.

An additional $5,000 would be about 20% for exchange. Close to my 15-25% estimate.

Hmmm... you're right! I'm trying to picture worst-case; with any luck it will still be less than that. Only time (how much more??) will tell.

 

[HRV4ME]

If these prices are near accurate then Honda will have nailed it!

 

[HRV4ME]

Comparing the CRV to CX5 and Civic to Mazda 3, each of the Mazdas come out more expensive here in the US so I would expect the same between the HRV and CX3.

Just curious....I thought you said you were ready and waiting for an EX. The pictures you put with some of your posts is an LX.

 

[HRV4ME]

Will be buying the HRV EX CVT which offers the best value.

HR-V EX-L CVT U$ 28,000


(This was actualy written 7 days ago, but HR-V Forum doesn´t allowed me to sign in)


Just to join the discussion, I just bought my Honda HR-V (EX-L) in Brazil, where it´s was launched on March, 20.
If you consider that I paid U$ 28K and the Honda Prices in Brazil are something like 65/70% of the USA prices, I would bet you might have it for some U$ 18/20.000.
I´m taking in to account the Honda website prices for Honda CR-V, that I keep following, despite they stopped shippeng the CR-V to Brazil since last october. Believe me: We was paying U$ 50K for a CR-V last year. Until now we don't have the face-lifted model which is being sold in NA.
I´ve been to América some times, and I know you guys are tall (myself I´m 6.04 ft tal). Ok, I use to drive a CR-V and the leg room for the driver was very good for me, BUT, in the HR-V, I found myself squeezed. I´m driving it for 5 days and I´m sure it´s NOT for tall people (6 ft or more).
That´s my contribution. If anyone think I can help more: valdemirUCB(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Good luck for the ones who already ordered the HR-V. It´s a good car, but I hope your car will be better than ours (as Always - we don´t have sunroof, start/stop, WatchLane and so on...)

Thanks for checking in on the status of the situation in Brazil, Valdemir.
