The little HR-V is undoubtedly one of the most practical vehicles in the class. A few changes have been introduced for 2019, including touch-ups to the body and a new Sport version. The big news is that there's no manual gearbox this year, leaving just the continuously variable automatic. The HR-V’s engine is a 1.8-litre four cylinder that generates 141 horsepower and 127 lb.-ft. of torque.
