2023 Honda hrv safety

Anti-lock brakes

ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate. This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.

Stability control

Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.

Front-impact airbags

Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.

Side impact airbags

Side impact airbags for the front and rear seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.

Overhead airbags

Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.

Knee airbags

Knee airbags help to protect the occupants lower extremities from serious injury in the event of an accident.

Pretensioners

Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.

Security system

The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.

Does the Honda HR

The all-new 2023 Honda HR-V compact SUV has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) highest accolade, the 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) rating.

Will Honda HR

Will the Honda HR-V be redesigned in 2023? Yes! The staff here at Vern Eide Honda is very excited to share with Sioux Falls car shoppers that our favorite subcompact crossover will, in fact, sport a whole new look for the 2023 model year.

What is the difference between the 2022 and 2023 Honda HRV?

In 2022, the Honda HR-V is outfitted with a 1.8-liter, 141-horsepower engine. A continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive are included, and all-wheel drive is optional for all trim levels. If you opt for the 2023 HR-V, your crossover will draw 158 horsepower from a 2.0-liter engine.

Does 2022 Honda HR

Blind-spot monitoring is standard on the lower-end trims of the 2022 Honda HR-V. The Honda Sensing package on the EX trim and up adds lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision mitigation.
