Honda is hoping to keep the sales momentum going strong on its hot-selling HR-V when the 2018 models begin rolling into dealership later this month. The subcompact SUV crossover has seen its volume numbers rise by 27.9 percent in the first half of the year and is currently outpacing all of its segment rivals on a retail basis. Pricing stays close to 2017 levels, with most variants seeing their stickers rise by just $105.

All versions of the HR-V will continue to feature a 141-horsepower/1.8-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine and offer Honda’s second-row Magic Seat that can fold to create up to 58.8 cu.ft. of storage space. While largely carryover, the 2018 HR-V will offer a new Aegean Blue Metallic finish and revised alloy wheels on EX and higher trim grades.
