2019 Honda HR-V vs 2019 Subaru Crosstrek

As simple as we try to make the buying process here at Hilton Head Honda, we realize the research process for a new car can be tedious and time consuming. We want to change that, and it's why we are here to help you compare two top models in the subcompact crossover segment. We're talking about the 2019 Honda HR-V vs the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.

Now, a good subcompact crossover needs to get two things right: fuel efficiency and cargo space. After all, the benefit of this segment is that it provides that SUV-like cargo versatility while still being efficient and nimble like a sedan. The entry level 2019 Honda HR-V LX clearly excels here. With up to 28 mpg city and 34 mpg highway* it delivers better fuel efficiency numbers than the Crosstrek 2.0i in the chart down below, and it also provides superior cargo space regardless of whether the seats are folded down or left up for passengers.

Differences Between the 2019 HR-V and 2019 Crosstrek

Another crucial factor is price. Since these are subcompact crossovers we are talking about, you don't want to be paying a price that gets into larger SUV territory, and you won't with the HR-V. The 2019 Honda HR-V LX starts at an MSRP of $20,520**, more than $1,000 less than the Crosstrek's starting MSRP. Despite the difference, when you choose the HR-V, you're getting some unique Honda features that the Crosstrek doesn't have, like Honda's 2nd-Row Magic Seat® that can be adjusted for numerous rear seat configurations to make cargo carrying even easier.
