Should I buy a used Honda HR-V now or wait for the next model?

• Powertrain/efficiency: Honda installs a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine under the HR-V’s hood. It produces 158 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 138 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm in a vehicle that weighs up to 1,510 kilograms (3,336 pounds).

• Starting price: Trim levels for the 2026 Honda HR-V include LX, Sport, and EX-L, and pricing in Canada ranges from $33,446 CAD to $41,846 CAD.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
