A quite practical compact SUV
The Honda HR-V delivers a lot of what folks love about the CR-V, just in a smaller, easier-to-park package. It’s surprisingly roomy inside for a subcompact, with a well-thought-out interior, smart storage options, and all the tech and safety features you’d expect. With great August deals showing up for both 2025 and 2026 models, now’s a good time to take a closer look.
Pick from four Honda HR-V lease deals in August
If you're thinking about getting into a new HR-V, the current lease offers make it a lot more tempting. You can lease a 2025 HR-V LX for $279 a month for 36 months, with $3,999 due at signing for AWD or $3,699 if you go with front-wheel drive.
Want something newer? The 2026 HR-V LX starts at $309 a month with the same 36-month term. The AWD version comes with $3,999 due at signing, while the 2WD drops that to $3,299. Either way, these deals are solid, especially if you’ve been eyeing Honda’s smallest SUV.
A subcompact SUV that doesn’t skimp on features
For both model years, the HR-V sticks with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine delivering 158 horsepower, but for 2026, Honda gives the HR-V a slight refresh. All trims now come standard with the 9-inch infotainment touchscreen, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad. Even the base LX now gets rear privacy glass. You’ll also spot new wheel designs across the lineup, with the EX-L’s wheels bumped up to 18 inches.
Two new paint colors show up for the new model year—Boost Blue Pearl and Solar Reflection Metallic (which replaces Solar Silver). The Sport trim now has gloss-black tailgate badges, while the EX-L picks up silver steering-wheel spokes, illuminated climate knobs, and footwell lighting.
Inside, the HR-V keeps the clean, Civic-inspired design. It’s subtle but sharp, with supportive front seats and smart storage throughout the cabin. It’s not flashy, but it’s well put together.
Every HR-V trim now includes a 9.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a built-in wireless phone charger.
Final thoughts
If you’ve been thinking about the HR-V, now’s a good time to make a move. Whether you want to save a bit by going with the current model or spring for the small upgrades in 2026, the monthly payments stay reasonable either way. Just don’t wait around—these offers won’t hang around long.
