Comparing the 2023 Honda HR-V with the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek in Greenville, NC
If you've started to research the small SUV segment, you've probably realized two things: first, that there are an overwhelming number of options available to you, and second that the 2023 Honda HR-V and the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek are among the most popular models on the road. Which of these two models should you choose? Well, that depends on the type of small SUV you're shopping for. Let's compare the 2023 Honda HR-V vs. 2023 Subaru Crosstrek to aid your decision-making process.
Interior and Value Comparison
Most major purchases such as your home, your furniture, and your car, are made to reflect your lifestyle, and it's safe to say that Honda and Subaru offer two opposite lifestyles. Honda caters to those who prefer a smoother ride with refined amenities, while Subaru offers a more rugged practicality that prioritizes function over form. While both of these options are valid choices, you should go into this comparison knowing that choosing the Honda HR-V means that you'll get more premium interior touches and finishes all without hiking up the price point. Additionally, the HR-V offers more passenger room than the Crosstrek. While both small SUVs can transport five passengers, the riders in the back of the HR-V won't feel cramped because of the increased head- and leg-room.
Even at its top-level EX-L trim, the HR-V is a noteworthy choice for people on a budget. Across all trim levels, the 2023 HR-V adds up to one of the most refined offerings in a crowded compact SUV market. Featuring automatic climate control, power windows, alloy wheels, and a full set of Honda Sensing driver-assist items are included in all HR-V versions. All trim levels include Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto compatibility, with wireless versions supported by the larger 9.0-inch system found in the top-level trim.
