Honda HR-V Proves to Be a Popular Crossover Among Young Car Buyers

What’s the Best Crossover or SUV for First Time Car Buyers?

When you buy a home for the first time, it can be difficult to determine what qualities you’ll want and/or need in your first house. Those who have bought multiple homes will have a much easier time, knowing from experience exactly what they want their next home to have in terms of space, amenities, etc.

Buying a car is very much the same way. Experienced car buyers have learned from experience what features they want to have, how much engine power they require for their driving needs, and how much passenger and cargo space they need to have. First-time car buyers may have some idea but will generally have a more difficult time determining what the best option is for their first vehicle. We think we can help with that.

Benefits of Buying the Honda HR-V

Now, we’ll admit that there is probably no single “best” car for first-time buyers. But some are certainly better than others, and generally speaking, a crossover or SUV is an option that can give first-time buyers the versatility they may need with their first car.

As it turns out, the Honda HR-V is actually the most popular SUV for first-time buyers and buyers in Generation Z. It’s also highly popular among Millennial drivers. Since we know so much about the HR-V here at Honda of Burien, this isn’t a huge surprise. It’s the perfect size to be both versatile and fun to drive, it’s available with AWD and it offers tremendous value.

Features of the 2024 Honda HR-V

Honda recently released the latest edition of the HR-V for the 2024 model year, which will start at an MSRP of just $24,100.* In addition to the price, there is a lot to love about the HR-V.

For one, it’s high tech, offering generous tech amenities like wireless phone charging, Apple CarPlay, a 9-inch touch screen and an 8-speaker sound system. It’s also high tech in terms of safety, with some of the latest driver assistance features available, such as a multi-angle rearview camera and a blind spot information system.

Focusing on more utilitarian qualities, the HR-V is well-designed to handle a variety of driving tasks. It can seat up to 5 people, but if you need more room for cargo than for people, you can fold down the rear seats to expand the rear cargo area beyond its original 24.4 cubic feet of space.
