The current Honda HR-V is 179.9″ long, 72.4″ wide, on a 104.7″ wheelbase, weighing 3,254 lb. Since 2016 it has grown 7% in length and gained 9% in weight. At 15 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Honda HR-V generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016–2022 | 168.9″ | 70.1″ | 63″ | 102.8″ | 2,987 lb |
| 2023–2026 | 179.9″ | 72.4″ | 63.4″ | 104.7″ | 3,254 lb |
From 2016 to today the HR-V gained 11″ of length (7%) and 267 lb of weight (9%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
HR-V year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 11 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 179.9″ | 72.4″ | 104.7″ | 2 | |
| 2025 | 179.9″ | 72.4″ | 104.7″ | 2 | |
| 2024 | 179.9″ | 72.4″ | 104.7″ | 2 | |
| 2023 | 179.9″ | 72.4″ | 104.7″ | 2 | |
| 2022 | 171.3″ | 69.7″ | 102.8″ | 2 | |
| 2021 | 171.3″ | 69.7″ | 102.8″ | 2 | |
| 2020 | 171.3″ | 69.7″ | 102.8″ | 2 | |
| 2019 | 171.3″ | 69.7″ | 102.8″ | 2 | |
| 2018 | 168.9″ | 70.1″ | 102.8″ | 2 | |
| 2017 | 168.9″ | 70.1″ | 102.8″ | 2 | |
| 2016 | 168.9″ | 70.1″ | 102.8″ | 2 |
Will a HR-V fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 15 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 15 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 955 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 72.4″ | 71.3″ | +1.1″ |
| Wheelbase | 104.7″ | 105.5″ | -0.8″ |
| Curb weight | 3,254 lb | 3,424 lb | -170 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
