2027 Honda HR-V: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Honda HR-V carries its 158-hp 2.0-liter engine and makes Honda Sensing standard across all trims. FWD returns as the base configuration, with Real-Time AWD available on every trim level. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature change so you can find your HR-V at Burleson Honda.
What's New for 2027
The 2027 HR-V continues Honda's commitment to making driver-assistance technology a baseline expectation rather than an upgrade. Honda Sensing ships on every trim, including the entry-level LX, giving Burleson and Fort Worth shoppers forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and a driver-attention monitor without paying for a higher package.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are also standard on the full lineup, and the 9-inch touchscreen carries over as the display on every trim. A wireless Qi phone charger is included across the board, removing the need for a cable on daily commutes.
The Sport trim gets a distinct ride-height bump to 7.3 inches of ground clearance compared to 7.0 inches on the LX and EX-L, making it the trim to consider for light trail use or unpaved ranch roads common around the Burleson and Cleburne area.

Trim Lineup
The 2027 HR-V is offered in three trims, each available in FWD or AWD. Starting MSRP is noted once here per Honda's published pricing.
LX
Starts at $26,600 FWD / $28,100 AWD. This is the accessibility entry point. It includes Honda Sensing, the 9-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, a 7-inch digital cluster, 17-inch pewter gray alloy wheels, and a four-speaker 180-watt audio system. The LX uses a manual driver's seat height adjustment.
Sport
Starts at $28,400 FWD / $29,900 AWD. The Sport adds heated front seats, remote engine start, Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock, blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels, and the taller 7.3-inch ground clearance. It also upgrades to a six-speaker audio system and the Sport grille with gloss black accents on the mirrors and roofline spoiler.
EX-L
Starts at $30,450 FWD / $31,950 AWD. The EX-L layers on leather-trimmed seats, an 8-way power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-speaker audio system, a one-touch power moonroof with tilt, front and rear parking sensors (four sensors each), heated front seats, illuminated sunvisor vanity mirrors, and 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels with Berlina Black inserts.
Performance & Powertrain
Every 2027 HR-V runs the same 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder with 158 hp at 6,500 rpm and 138 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. The engine uses Honda's 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC valvetrain with a 10.8:1 compression ratio and multi-point fuel injection.
Power routes through a CVT with a ratio range of 2.526 to 0.408. A three-mode system (Econ, Normal, Snow) is standard on every trim and pairs well with the available Real-Time AWD for wet roads and snow common in North Texas winters.
FWD fuel economy comes in at 26 city / 32 highway / 28 combined mpg. AWD drops that slightly to 25 city / 30 highway / 27 combined mpg. The tank holds 14 gallons and takes regular unleaded. Honda rates the tune-up interval at 100,000 miles with no scheduled tune-ups in between, which keeps long-term maintenance costs low for drivers in the Burleson and Mansfield area.
The Eco Assist system is included on all trims and provides coaching feedback to encourage more efficient acceleration and deceleration habits.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The HR-V seats five across two rows. Front legroom measures 41.9 inches and rear legroom is 37.7 inches, which is competitive for the subcompact crossover segment. Front headroom is 39.4 inches on the LX and Sport, with the EX-L's moonroof trimming that to 38.4 inches. Rear headroom is 38.0 inches across all trims.
Cargo behind the second row checks in at 24.4 cubic feet. Fold the 60/40 split-rear seats flat and the total reaches 55.1 cubic feet. For perspective, that is a meaningful amount of storage for a subcompact SUV, and the flat load floor makes loading bulkier items straightforward.
All trims include air conditioning with an air-filtration system, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and power windows with auto up/down on both the driver and passenger side. The EX-L steps up to leather-trimmed seats and dual-zone automatic climate control, which is a meaningful comfort upgrade for couples with different temperature preferences.
Active Noise Cancellation comes on the EX-L to reduce road and wind noise on highway drives between Burleson and the DFW metroplex.
Technology & Infotainment
Every 2027 HR-V starts with a 9-inch color touchscreen, a 7-inch TFT digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, Bluetooth streaming audio, a wireless Qi phone charger, and one USB-C 3.0A data port plus one USB-C 3.0A charging port in the front console. A second USB-C charging port is available in the center console.
HondaLink connectivity is included across the lineup. Speed-sensitive volume compensation adjusts audio output automatically as road noise changes.
The Sport moves up to a six-speaker 180-watt system. The EX-L tops out with an eight-speaker 180-watt setup and adds a one-touch power moonroof, remote engine start, dual-zone climate control, and Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Honda Sensing is standard on every 2027 HR-V trim, covering:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (forward collision warning plus automatic emergency braking)
- Road Departure Mitigation
- Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and Traffic Jam Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Driver Attention Monitor
- Auto High-Beam Headlights
- Low-Speed Braking Control
The Sport and EX-L add Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross-Traffic Monitor. The EX-L goes further with four front and four rear parking sensors.
Passive safety includes a full airbag array: advanced front airbags, front knee airbags, advanced side airbags, rear outboard side airbags, and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, ABS, brake assist, and electronic brake distribution are standard. A Post-Collision Braking System, rear seat reminder, and child-proof rear door locks round out the passive suite.
Who It's For vs the Prior Year
The 2027 HR-V targets buyers who want a right-sized subcompact SUV with a flat cargo floor, standard wireless connectivity, and a complete driver-assistance suite without needing to step up to a midsize crossover. The 55.1 cubic feet of max cargo space and the standard Honda Sensing suite separate it from several competitors that charge extra for equivalent safety tech.
Compared to the prior generation, the current HR-V generation already represented a significant architecture upgrade, so the 2027 model refines rather than reinvents. The consistent across-the-board Honda Sensing standard availability and the wireless-first connectivity approach are the meaningful carry-forwards shoppers in Burleson, Crowley, and Midlothian should note when cross-shopping a 2026 against the 2027. If Honda Sensing being standard on the base trim matters to you, the 2027 delivers that without requiring an upgrade.
Buyers who need more cargo capacity or a third row should look at the CR-V or Pilot. Buyers who want a compact footprint that still parks easily at Tarrant County shopping centers will find the HR-V's 179.8-inch overall length easy to manage.
