If you’re like a lot of other drivers in the Louisville-area, you have probably wondered, “Does the Honda HR-V have AWD?” The answer is yes, all HR-V trim levels are available with all-wheel drive. Learn more about the Honda HR-V models with all-wheel drive, and when you’re ready to experience all that a Honda HR-V LX AWD SUV or a Honda HR-V Sport AWD SUV has to offer, schedule a test drive at our dealership in Boulder.

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™

New Honda HR-V models equipped with Honda Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ provide superior traction and control on the roads in and around Broomfield. Is the Honda HR-V AWD system different than conventional AWD? Yes it is. This innovative alternative to standard all-wheel drive adds a rear differential to vehicles with front-wheel drive. If your HR-V loses traction on wet, icy, or slippery roads, the multi-plate clutch system engages to provide support and distribute torque to all four wheels instead of only two. Intelligent Control eliminates the usual lag that standard all-wheel drive experiences when engaging the rear wheels, using an electric motor mounted on the transmission to distribute power to all wheels. Since Real Time AWD only kicks in when needed, you’ll also enjoy better fuel economy than you’d get with a conventional AWD system.

Honda HR-V AWD Models and Performance Capabilities

While the HR-V comes standard with 2WD, Honda Real Time AWD is an available option on all trim levels. No matter which trim or drivetrain you select, you’ll enjoy powerful and efficient performance on the Longmont-area roads and beyond. Check out the Honda HR-V LX AWD SUV performance specs and features below:

  • 1.8L 4-cylinder engine rated at 141-hp and 127 lb-ft of torque
  • 13.2-gallon fuel tank capacity
  • Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Sport Mode
  • Eco Assist™ System
  • Active Noise Cancellation
  • Hill Start Assist
  • Direct Ignition System with Immobilizer

The Honda HR-V Sport AWD SUV adds Dual-Mode Paddle Shifters and exclusive Sport Pedals, while the EX and EX-L models come with the Honda Sensing® suite of advanced driver-assist systems.
