2020 Honda HR-V

The 2020 Honda HR-V offers incredible performance and cutting-edge features that have dazzled the drivers of Bellevue, but is the Honda HR-V AWD? The answer is yes. The Honda HR-V is offered in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, so you can get the precise performance that you want on the Omaha roads. So, which models offer AWD, and how does this system improve your handling? From the Honda HR-V LX AWD SUV to the Honda HR-V Sport AWD SUV, let’s take a look at the latest lineup.

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™

Honda vehicles may be equipped with the exclusive Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™, an advanced all-wheel drive system that maximizes your traction and efficiency simultaneously. This technology utilizes a rear differential, which engages through a multi-plate clutch system. What does that mean for your daily drives in Gretna? When you need extra grip, all of your torque spreads throughout all four wheels instantaneously instead of relying on the front wheels only. And thanks to Honda’s “Intelligent Control” electric motor technology, you’ll experience zero lag time – unlike older all-wheel drive models.

Honda AWD Models 

While front-wheel drive is standard across the board, all-wheel drive is available for all models in the new Honda HR-V inventory: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring. In fact, the Honda HR-V Touring trim even offers AWD as a standard feature. Additionally, you’ll find performance features on each HR-V like:

  • 141-hp 1.8L 4-Cylinder Engine
  • Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Sport Mode
  • Optional Dual-Mode Paddle Shifters
  • Eco Assist™ System
  • Active Noise Cancellation™ (ANC)
  • Hill Start Assist
  • Direct Ignition System with Immobilizer
