The HR-V returns unchanged for the 2020 model year.

Clever cargo solutions make it more versatile than rivals
Better than most competitors on fuel economy
Excellent outward visibility

Cons
Unimpressive power output results in lackluster acceleration
Palpable engine noise and vibration
Touchscreen interface is difficult to use
Cabin materials look a little cheaper than those in some rivals

Honda made some superficial and mechanical changes to the HR-V for the previous model year, but it doesn't make any significant updates to the 2020 lineup.

Pros
Impressive fuel economy,
outstanding cargo storage,
durable and well-built interior.

Cons
Buzzy engine sounds,
choppy ride on rough roads,
top features reserved for top model.

For its second year on the market, the Encore GX receives only a few small updates. Both SiriusXM satellite radio and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have become standard features across the lineup, and adaptive cruise control is now available on the Preferred model as part of the optional Safety package.

Pros
Attractive exterior design,
SUV practicality,
good value compared to luxury-branded rivals.

Cons
Too many plasticky interior parts,
inadequate three-cylinder powertrains,
unexciting to drive.

Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Satellite radio now standard. Part of the first Encore GX generation introduced for 2020.

Pros
Appealing design both inside and out
Comfortable ride quality
Desirable infotainment and driving assistance tech is standard
Lots of space for passengers and cargo

Cons
Front seats are narrow and don't fit a variety of body types
Thick roof pillars reduce rear visibility
Ho-hum handling

By:

Average warranty
