They still can't reveal much until the embargo ends but one paragraph stood out for me.


"We can tell you this without reservation: Take a quick glance at the photo above. 2016 Honda HR-V in all trim variants looks better than its photo. As to price and availability? Read our last article with price estimates. It’s pretty close. As to release date, Honda’s pointing to a late Spring release date with our article embargo ending April 31, 2015."


Well their last article said this.....


"Price prediction: Somewhere south of $20,000 for the base trimmed front wheel HR-V and $28,500-ish (Guesstimate) for a well equipped AWD HR-V with Tech; but, we’ll have to wait a few days before we have the hard price, specifications and release date in hand."


They have to tiptoe around saying exactly what the price is, but it is revealing that they said it's close.

Well equiped below $30K is refreshing. Looking at the Jeep well equipped with AWD pushes past $30K everytime...

Last time I checked April only had 30 days, or are they adding a day to April just to make us wait even longer?!

Keep looking at torque they have release 3 short articles about the HRV since the Miami event.


They state that the HR-V will cost less than almost all of its competitors and it is a fantastic balance of car and utility.

Hi shu,
Could you post the links to these short articles? It would make it easier for us to see them since you already have.


Thanks!

Thanks Topspot. I have seen all of those, but it sure is good to see them all in one place so we all can refer to them easily.

The comments are often informative... @vtec pointed this comment out in another thread

Welcome David. That's a good question. Sitting in HR-V at the Los Angeles Auto Show, I found the driver-side legroom to be more than adequate for my 6 ft 5 inch frame. The front passenger room is a bit tighter due the the curvature of the dashboard, However, I believe it be roomier than most vehicles in the class. As to Fit: I have several hours logged behind the wheel of 2015 Fit and find it to be comfortable enough for a entry level 5 door hatchback. Where Fit shines over the competition is in the 2nd row bench quality and configurable 40/60 bench seating. I don't have the forward cab measurements on hand for HR-V, but I believe it to be close to or identical to Fit with a difference as to the center consul design. HR-V features more of a "cockpit" feel.
