2027 Honda HR-V Trims

Lodi Honda presents the 2027 Honda HR-V Trim Level Comparison

The 2027 Honda HR-V continues to stand out as a versatile compact SUV, offering drivers and families in Lodi, Stockton, Elk Grove, and Sacramento a practical blend of reliability, flexibility, interior space, and value. For the 2027 model year, the HR-V is offered in three U.S. trim levels: LX, Sport, and EX-L. Each HR-V trim is equipped with the same 158-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Real Time AWD is also available across the lineup, giving drivers added traction when road or weather conditions demand it. While all three trims share the same core powertrain, each offers a different combination of styling, technology, comfort, convenience, and interior features. The LX serves as the entry-level trim, providing the essential features many drivers are looking for. The Sport builds on that foundation with distinctive styling and additional equipment, while the EX-L tops the lineup with the most comprehensive selection of standard amenities. In this guide, we’ll compare the 2027 Honda HR-V LX, Sport, and EX-L trims and explore the key features and technologies that set them apart. We’ll also take a closer look at the HR-V’s engine, performance, interior, and capability to help you determine which configuration aligns with your daily commute, family requirements, weekend plans, and budget.
