DRIVETRAIN OPTIONS
The 2022 Honda HR-V and the Subaru Crosstrek offer seating for five, but the HR-V has more space for all your cargo.
The HR-V’s cargo volume with the rear seats up is 23.2 cubic feet, and it has a maximum cargo capacity of 57.6 cubic feet. The Crosstrek, on the other hand, only has 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up, and a maximum cargo capacity of 55.3 cubic feet.
In addition to having more cargo space overall, the second-row Magic Seat® makes the?interior of the HR-V?more versatile. This feature lets you fold down the seatbacks or fold up the seat for flexible storage. With three different seating and storage configurations, the interior can be customized to suit your next trip.
The 2022 Subaru Crosstrek is equipped with the 2.0-liter direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine, while the HR-V comes with its own efficient option: the inline 4-cylinder engine.
While both vehicles are available as all-wheel-drive (AWD) models in all trims, you may prefer the lighter 2-wheel-drive (2WD) design that is only available in the Honda HR-V. Multiple drivelines in the HR-V mean drivers have more choice in their handling.
Handling is a key factor in the performance of any crossover. You need a vehicle that can tackle off-road trails and adverse conditions just as successfully as it handles the dry road. So, no matter which one you choose, you’ll have a smooth and capable ride. The difference is, the HR-V provides a bit more variety than its competitor.
The HR-V is equipped with?Honda Sensing®. This available suite of safety features works to keep you alert and safe behind the wheel.
The available features include:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
With Honda Sensing®, you’ll be more confident while you drive.
The Subaru Crosstrek features a similar safety suite called EyeSight®. Its available features, like a Pre-collision Braking System and Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, are very similar to those available on the HR-V.
The 2022 Honda HR-V adds another layer of protection, though, with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. The ACE™ body construction strategically distributes crash energy. Passengers riding in the HR-V will have extra protection from frontal collisions. This design feature is unique to Honda vehicles.
