Transmission Options


For better control of the vehicle, the Honda HR-V has an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT). This transmission system has no “steps” between gears and can keep the engine at the most efficient speed for fuel economy. The CVT can also keep the engine at its peak horsepower indefinitely for maximum acceleration.


Passenger Space


The HR-V has passenger comfort in mind. With a more legroom, front shoulder room and rear legroom than the Kia Soul, the Honda HR-V is the obvious choice! Also, the rear seats in the HR-V recline adding an extra layer of comfort to your passengers. The Kia Soul’s rear seats don’t recline.


Reliability


Nobody wants an unreliable vehicle. The HR-V utilizes a single overhead cam for simplicity, meaning less moving parts to break. The Kia Soul has dual overhead cams, a more complex system.
