HR-V was completely redesigned for the 2023 model year. The new HR-V is larger than the one it replaced, with a more refined interior and improved cabin technology. Pricing starts at $23,800.

Highlights of the Honda HR-V

Classy interior: Both models have beautiful interiors. But the HR-V feels a cut above its competition. A honeycomb line cuts across the dash horizontally, adding a modern aesthetic where other subcompacts feel basic. Available leather seats include interesting stitching patterns. It’s a more polished look than what we’re used to seeing in this class.

Rear seat space: Some small SUV buyers rarely use the rear seats. However, if you’re going to carry passengers in yours regularly, they’ll appreciate that the HR-V has much more second-row legroom and shoulder room than the Corolla Cross. It’s now among the largest vehicles in its class, and Honda used much of that space to be kind to rear-seat passengers.

Active Noise Cancellation: We expect to find active noise cancellation systems in high-end cars. But arguably they are not needed there. In a class of cars, this affordable, road and wind noise is more common. Honda uses a high-tech system to silence them, and it shows.

Highlights of the Toyota Corolla Cross

Better fuel economy: It won’t cost you much to own the Corolla Cross. Its 32 mpg combined tops the HR-V’s 28. He doesn’t get there by skimping on horsepower, either. The Toyota has 11 more than the Honda option. This year, a Corolla Cross Hybrid will be available with an estimated 37 mpg combined and 194 horsepower.

CarPlay and Android Auto. The HR-V has them, too, but only in more expensive trim levels.

Rear seat air vents: The HR-V may offer more space in the rear seats, but the Corolla Cross offers air conditioning vents for second-row passengers. Many automakers skimp on heating and cooling rear seats at this price. Toyota includes a button to turn off the rear seat vents if you don’t have anyone in there.

Both the Honda HR-V and the Toyota Corolla Cross are excellent options.
