Featuring revised shift mapping for improved acceleration and smoothness, every HR-V comes equipped with a Continuously Variable automatic Transmission (CVT). Available Real Time all-wheel drive lets you stay ahead of nasty weather conditions and reach your destination on time. Thanks to speed-sensitive steering feedback and compact sizing, it’s nearly effortless to squeeze the HR-V into a tight parking space.
