The 2027 Honda HR-V comes in 3 trims, each with a choice of front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). It suits shoppers who need 5 seats and want to choose comfort equipment separately from the drivetrain. LX covers the shared essentials, Sport adds heated seats and blind-spot information, and EX-L adds leather-trimmed seats and power driver-seat adjustment.

Your 2027 HR-V trim choice comes down to the comfort, convenience and assistance features you want every day.
LX: If the shared equipment meets your needs, LX includes wireless phone connectivity, Honda Sensing driver assistance and manual driver-seat height adjustment. Heated front seats and key-fob remote engine start are absent. LX also lacks Blind Spot Information and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor.
Sport: Heated seats and additional assistance are reasons to consider Sport. Its equipment includes:
Sport also adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, plus Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock. Its gloss black roofline spoiler and mirror covers are Sport-only exterior details. The sport grille and chrome exhaust finisher are also exclusive to Sport.
EX-L: For power seat adjustment and more cabin amenities, look at EX-L. It retains Sport’s heated seats and remote start, along with the blind-spot and rear cross-traffic systems. Leather-trimmed seats and an 8-way power driver’s seat are EX-L additions. EX-L also has dual-zone climate control, a power moonroof with tilt and an automatic-dimming rearview mirror.
Low-Speed Braking Control and parking sensors are exclusive to EX-L. Its sensors cover 4 front and 4 rear positions.
EX-L does not retain the Sport-only exterior pieces. If you prefer Sport’s appearance, weigh those exterior details against the EX-L features you would gain.
Wheel specifications and audio speaker counts also differ by trim.
| Detail | LX | Sport | EX-L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alloy wheels | 17-inch Pewter Gray | 18-inch Gloss Black | 18-inch machine-finished with Berlina Black inserts |
| Audio speakers | 4 | 6 | 8 |
All 3 audio systems are rated at 180 watts. If audio is part of your trim decision, listen to the system in the configuration you are considering.
The 2027 HR-V has a 60/40 split-folding second row, so you can fold either portion of the rear seat separately when arranging passengers and cargo.
EX-L has different front headroom and passenger-volume figures than LX and Sport. Rear headroom and legroom remain the same across the trims.
The cabin measurements are shown below.
| Cabin measurement | LX and Sport | EX-L |
|---|---|---|
| Front headroom | 39.4 inches | 38.4 inches |
| Rear headroom | 38 inches | 38 inches |
| Front legroom | 41.9 inches | 41.9 inches |
| Rear legroom | 37.7 inches | 37.7 inches |
| EPA passenger volume | 98.7 cubic feet | 97.3 cubic feet |
| Standard cargo volume | 24.4 cubic feet | 24.4 cubic feet |
| Maximum cargo volume | 55.1 cubic feet | 55.1 cubic feet |
Choosing EX-L does not increase cargo volume. If you are deciding between Sport and EX-L, try the driver’s seating position in each, especially if front headroom is a priority.
Cargo-volume figures help compare space, but they do not establish whether a particular stroller, suitcase or other item fits. Check the items you expect to carry before making that part of your decision.
The 2027 HR-V includes a 9-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility on every trim. A Qi wireless phone charger and USB-C data and charging ports are also standard. Check your device’s compatibility when comparing the vehicle’s phone features.
A 7-inch meter display and HondaLink are standard, as are push-button start and LED headlights. Active Noise Cancellation and an acoustic glass windshield are also standard.
Honda Sensing is the standard driver-assistance suite. Its features include:
These systems do not replace driver attention.

| NHTSA rating category | FWD and AWD |
|---|---|

| Overall frontal crash | 5 stars |
