Subcompact & Compact Crossovers Available near Hilton Head

You might know the main different between the Honda HR-V and Honda CR-V, and that which segment they belong to. The Honda HR-V is, as mentioned, a subcompact crossover whereas the CR-V is a compact crossover. That means the CR-V is slightly larger than the HR-V, which is evidenced in the third row of the table above. Although both offer seating for up to five, the CR-V uses its extra size to nearly double the amount of cargo space it has to offer behind the rear seats, providing an extra 16 cubic feet of space to be specific.

The CR-V also has a slightly larger powertrain, capable of generating a bit more power than its smaller sibling. To once again be more specific, the CR-V provides an extra 49 horsepower. That’s not an insane difference, but it certainly gives the CR-V an advantage in power. However, both crossovers offer the same amount of fuel efficiency.
