INTERIOR
Honda HR-V

With so many popular models on the market, it’s easy to find the best type of body style for your needs. For instance, regular commuters and city drivers may enjoy the size of a sedan, while big families love a large SUV. With the HR-V and Tucson, why not have the best of both worlds?

Compact Interiors

At first, it may look like the Honda and the Hyundai interiors mirror each other. In fact, they each offer available leather-trimmed seats and available heated front seats for your comfort. With these comfortable interiors, you can drive around for hours without realizing it. However, the similarities stop there.

Plus, each vehicle has standard 60/40 split fold-down rear seats.

High-Tech Features

As for technology, the standard and available entertainment and tech features in these SUVs will allow you to cruise along and stay connected. Both SUVs offer standard and available:

  • Apple CarPlay®
  • Android Auto™
  • Bluetooth® hands-free system

However, the HR-V has a unique feature you won’t find in the Tucson. This feature is standard speed-sensitive volume compensation, which will adjust the volume depending on your speed and the exterior noise. For instance, as you speed up on the highway and the exterior noise gets louder, your HR-V will automatically raise the volume, so you don’t have to miss a beat.
