The 2026 Honda HR-V Sport AWD is the athletic, youth-oriented trim in Hondas subcompact SUV lineup. It sits between the base LX and the luxury EX-L, offering a more aggressive look and improved standard features for drivers who prioritize style and connectivity without jumping to the top-tier price point.
Athletic Performance & AWD

Intelligent Traction: Features Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System as standard on this configuration, which proactively sends power to the rear wheels to prevent slip before it happens.
Efficiency: Maintains competitive fuel economy for an AWD subcompact at 25 city / 30 highway / 27 combined MPG.
Drive Modes: Includes a 3-mode drive system featuring Normal, Econ, and a specialized Snow mode for improved confidence in winter conditions.
