2016 Honda HR-V EX: The Versatile Companion for Your Mid-South Lifestyle

Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, tree-lined streets of Bartlett, TN, where the neighborhood is waking up and the school run is about to begin. You need a vehicle that navigates tight suburban driveways just as easily as it handles the flow of traffic heading toward the city. The 2016 Honda HR-V EX is designed exactly for this kind of versatility, offering a footprint that is easy to park but an interior that feels surprisingly spacious. Whether you are loading up gear for a weekend at Shelby Farms Park or simply heading out for a quick grocery run in Cordova, TN, this crossover adapts to your schedule without missing a beat. It provides that elevated seating position drivers love, ensuring a clear view of the road ahead while maintaining the nimble handling required for busy suburban intersections.

Efficient Performance for the Daily Commute

Under the hood of this Alabaster Silver Metallic crossover is a balanced 1.8L I-4 engine featuring variable valve control. This powerplant is engineered for the realities of Mid-South driving, producing 141HP that feels responsive whether you are merging onto the highway or navigating the gently rolling terrain of Millington, TN. The Front Wheel Drive system works in harmony with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to provide a smooth, shift-free driving experience. This setup is particularly beneficial for those who face a daily commute, as it helps achieve an impressive 28 city and 35 highway MPG.

The mechanical foundation is built for longevity and consistency, utilizing an aluminum engine block and a transverse-mounted engine configuration. To ensure the ride remains composed over various road surfaces, the HR-V features an independent strut front suspension paired with a semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension. This combination provides a stable, car-like feel that makes long drives more relaxing. Additionally, the Smart Entry system with push-button start means you can keep your keys in your pocket or purse while heading out for the day, and the transmission oil cooler ensures the system stays protected even during the heat of a Tennessee summer.

Modern Connectivity and Intuitive Tech

Staying connected while on the move is a priority for modern drivers, and the EX trim delivers a suite of integrated technology. The cabin features a 7-inch primary touchscreen monitor that serves as the hub for your media and vehicle information. With the AM/FM/CD audio system pushing 180 watts through six speakers, your favorite playlists and podcasts come through with clarity. For those who prefer wireless options, the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink allows for seamless phone connectivity and wireless audio streaming, ensuring you can keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

The technology extends to the drivers interface with an analog instrumentation display complemented by an Eco Assist ECO feedback display gauge, which helps you monitor your driving habits for maximum efficiency. You will also find two USB ports and an auxiliary audio input for charging and connecting multiple devices. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls allow you to adjust volume or change tracks without distraction, while the HondaLink external memory control provides additional ways to interface with your digital life.

A Cabin Designed for Comfort and Utility

The interior of this HR-V is finished with Silver cloth front seat upholstery, offering a comfortable and durable environment for up to five passengers. One of the standout features of the EX trim is the inclusion of heated front seats, providing immediate warmth on those chilly winter mornings before you head out. The drivers seat offers 6-way directional controls, including height adjustment, so you can find the perfect vantage point. In the back, the 60-40 folding rear seats offer incredible flexibility, allowing you to carry longer items while still leaving room for a passenger.

The climate is easily managed via the automatic climate control system, which includes rear under-seat ducts to keep everyone in the cabin comfortable. Natural light fills the space through the power moonroof, which features a sliding and tilting glass panel with a sunshade for brighter days. Practicality is woven throughout the design, from the covered floor console storage and cargo tie-downs to the cargo area concealed storage located under the floor. Whether you are hauling sports equipment or luggage, the carpeted cargo area and liftgate rear cargo door make loading and unloading a simple task.

Comprehensive Safety and Awareness

Safety is a core component of the HR-V design, providing peace of mind for families and solo commuters alike. This model is equipped with the Honda LaneWatch system, which uses a right-side camera to display a live view of your blind spot on the center screen whenever you signal a right turn. This is a game-changer when navigating the busier multi-lane roads around the Memphis area. For parking and reversing, the exterior parking camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, making it easier to back out of tight spots at the local shopping center.

The vehicle is protected by a comprehensive system of six airbags, including SmartVent seat-mounted side-impact airbags and curtain overhead airbags for both rows. Mechanical safety features include 4-wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and brake assist. The electronic parking brake with automatic brake hold is a convenient addition, especially in stop-and-go traffic, allowing you to take your foot off the brake pedal once the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Sleek Exterior and Thoughtful Design

The Alabaster Silver Metallic exterior is both professional and stylish, accented by a chrome bar grille and body-colored door handles. This HR-V sits on 17-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, giving it a modern and sophisticated stance. The design is functional as well as aesthetic, featuring a rear lip spoiler that improves aerodynamics and integrated turn signals in the power-heated door mirrors to improve visibility to other drivers.

Visibility is further enhanced by halogen reflector headlights with an auto on/off feature, ensuring your lights are active exactly when they need to be. Front fog lights are standard on the EX trim, providing extra illumination during early morning mist or heavy rain. The deep-tinted privacy glass not only adds a touch of style but also helps keep the interior cool and protects your belongings from prying eyes. Every detail, from the black wheel well trim to the body-colored front bumper, is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while looking great in your driveway.
