The 2025 Honda HR-V Sport is aimed at buyers who want a small SUV with some extra comfort equipment, without moving to EX-L Navi. In Canada, its appeal includes AWD and a useful set of cabin upgrades. The important distinction is that Sport changes the equipment, not the engine output.

Models available
Honda’s Canadian range consists of LX 2WD, LX AWD, Sport and EX-L Navi. Sport comes with AWD, but LX AWD provides the same drivetrain layout with a different equipment mix. Buyers should separate the need for AWD from the desire for Sport’s equipment before comparing prices. Canadian 2025 specification table.
Engine and transmission
The shared 2.0L four-cylinder produces 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft through a CVT. Sport does not add a turbocharger or hybrid powertrain. The badge should therefore not be taken as a promise of additional acceleration over the other HR-V trims. Honda Canada specifications.
Interior and comfort
Sport’s highlights include a moonroof, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel and dual-zone climate control. Its seats remain fabric; heated front seats are already available as standard further down the Canadian range. Trim equipment.
For someone using the HR-V through an Ontario winter, a heated steering wheel may be a more useful upgrade than a cosmetic detail. But decide which features matter to you rather than assuming a middle trim is automatically the best value. Sit in both an LX AWD and a Sport if the price difference is significant to your budget.
Infotainment and safety
Sport uses a 7-inch touchscreen, six speakers and wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. EX-L Navi upgrades to a 9-inch navigation screen and wireless smartphone integration. Honda Sensing features, blind-spot information and cross-traffic monitoring are listed across the range. Connectivity and assistance features.
A cable connection may be perfectly adequate if you normally plug your phone in anyway. Try your own phone and preferred navigation app before paying more for a different interface. Assistance features are useful aids, but they do not replace checking mirrors, blind spots and the space behind the vehicle.
Space and everyday use
Test the HR-V with the people and belongings that determine your normal week. Put the front seat in your driving position, then check rear-seat space. If you use a child seat, check installation and entry rather than judging the cabin from an empty showroom vehicle. Bring bulky items when possible instead of relying only on a cargo-volume figure.
For buyers moving down from a larger SUV, parking and access may be part of the appeal. Still measure your garage and check how the hatch opens in the space you use. The right size is the one that fits both passengers and the places where you regularly stop.
Fuel consumption
| 2025 HR-V reference | City | Highway | Combined |

Canadian trim comparison and pricing
Current Canadian manufacturer pricing for these exact 2025 configurations has not been verified as of October 31, 2026. Vehicle prices and price differences are therefore omitted; the chart compares equipment only.
| Trim | Reason to consider it |
|---|---|
| LX 2WD | Front-wheel-drive alternative |
| LX AWD | AWD without Sport’s comfort upgrades |
| Sport AWD | Moonroof, heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate |
| EX-L Navi AWD | Leather-trimmed seats, larger screen and parking sensors |
Check Honda Canada’s official HR-V page for manufacturer pricing. Match the model year, drivetrain and trim; a current later-year HR-V price is not a verified 2025 Sport price.
Compare LX AWD with Sport to keep the drivetrain constant while assessing Sport’s comfort features. EX-L Navi adds further equipment rather than a different engine. A current manufacturer price difference between these exact 2025 trims has not been verified.
Competition and buying verdict
Consider the Toyota Corolla Cross, Subaru Crosstrek and Kia Seltos alongside the HR-V. Compare the actual drivetrain and trim you can buy, not each model’s lowest advertised price. Sport is worth shortlisting when its comfort features are priorities; LX AWD remains the useful benchmark for keeping the purchase simpler.
