5. 2016 Honda HR-V LX

The Honda HR V is a brand-new car from the Japanese automaker. Honda took note of the continued growth of the popular CR-V and decided to create a new entry-level crossover SUV. If the Pilot is “papa” and the CR-V is “mama”, the HR-V fits perfectly in the family as “baby.” The Honda HR-V features what the manufacturer refers to as a “Magic Seat,” a rear seat that can be lowered to accommodate long or bulky items. Among the HR-V’s competitors include the Nissan Juke, the Jeep Renegade, the Mazda CX-3 and the Fiat 500X. The 2016 Honda HR-V is available in three trim levels: LX, EX and EX-L Navi. The HR-V comes equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 141 horsepower and 127 foot-pounds of torque.
