# 2018 Honda HR-V LX

**Small footprint. Big practicality. Zero interest in being boring.** The 2018 Honda HR-V LX is a smartly packaged crossover designed for drivers who want easy maneuverability, excellent versatility, and impressive fuel economy without graduating to a larger SUV.

Under the hood is Honda's proven **1.8-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder** producing **141 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque**. Depending on configuration, the HR-V was available with a 6-speed manual or CVT, with Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ available. CVT-equipped 2WD models are EPA-rated at up to **28 city/34 highway/31 combined MPG**, while AWD CVT models achieve **27/31/29 MPG**.

### Comfort, Technology & Everyday Versatility

The LX keeps things practical with features including:

* 17-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires
* Multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines
* Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® and Bluetooth® streaming audio
* USB Audio Interface
* Cruise control and steering-wheel-mounted controls
* Power windows and programmable power door locks
* Remote keyless entry and security system
* Air conditioning with air filtration
* Multi-Information Display
* 60/40-split **Honda Magic Seat®** rear seating
* Rear-seat heater ducts
* Height-adjustable driver's seat
* 12-volt power outlets

That Magic Seat is particularly useful: the HR-V can swallow everyday cargo with considerably more flexibility than its compact exterior suggests. With all seats in place, published specifications list **24.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity**.

### Safety You Can Feel Good About

Honda equipped every 2018 HR-V with a comprehensive suite of foundational safety equipment, including **Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, advanced front airbags, SmartVent® front side airbags, side-curtain airbags with rollover sensor, ABS, Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist™ with traction control, TPMS, daytime running lights, three-point seat belts, and LATCH child-seat hardware**.

The **IIHS** awarded the HR-V **Good** ratings in original moderate-overlap front, side-impact, roof-strength, and head-restraint/seat evaluations. The driver-side small-overlap test received an **Acceptable** rating. IIHS notes that side-impact results apply to vehicles built after March 2017, so production date matters when interpreting the test data.

One important bit of transparency: the 2018 HR-V did **not** offer modern Honda Sensing driver-assistance technology on the LX. Its standard safety technology is centered on occupant protection, stability control, braking assistance, and the rearview camera rather than today's lane-centering-and-automatic-braking alphabet soup.
