Yahoo Autos 2018 Honda HR-V Fuel Economy
The HR-V proves itself to be mighty efficient on an EPA chart; however, it underdelivered in our real-world testing. Its highway range isn’t the longest in this comparison, but it’s still good enough for a lengthy road trip between fill-ups.
What’s New for 2018?
With zero changes made to the powertrain, we expect EPA estimates for fuel economy to remain the same for 2018. We also expect similar real-world performance.

While the HR-V may not be lightning quick, it’s still a good fuel sipper. The 1.8-liter four-cylinder and the CVT are especially efficient with front-wheel drive, earning a highway rating of 34 mpg. All-wheel-drive HR-V models see a three-mpg drop in their highway rating, but at 31 mpg, it’s still among the best in the segment.

We’ve devised our own fuel-economy test in an attempt to replicate how most people drive on the highway. Our procedure entails a 200-mile out-and-back loop on Michigan’s I-94 highway. We maintain a GPS-verified 75 mph and use the cruise control as much as possible to mimic the way many drivers behave during long trips.

With its 13.2-gallon fuel tank full of the recommended 87-octane gasoline, the all-wheel-drive HR-V should provide an even 400 miles of highway-cruising range.
