Don&#8217;t be surprised if Honda ends up offering one wearing a TrailSport badge. Honda introduced the TrailSport grade on its updated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1133649_2022-honda-passport-price-specs-review-photos-info\">2022 Passport SUV<\/a>, and has hinted that we&#8217;ll see it offered on other vehicle lines.<\/p>\n<p>On the Passport, upgrading to the TrailSport grades adds chunky wheels and tires, plus some styling tweaks that give the vehicle a tougher appearance. There are interior touches, too, such as orange accent stitching and all-weather mats that can be hosed off for easy cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Honda has already unveiled a redesigned HR-V for global markets but that&#8217;s a different vehicle to the one headed to U.S. showrooms. The U.S.-bound HR-V is based on the same platform as the latest Civic, which brings independent rear suspension, and as a result the vehicle features a longer wheelbase and wider stance than its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>Honda hasn&#8217;t mentioned powertrain specs for the 2023 HR-V. The outgoing model is offered exclusively with a 1.8-liter inline-4 good for 141 hp. It&#8217;s possible the redesigned HR-V is offered with the Civic&#8217;s base engine, a 2.0-liter inline-4 good for 158 hp. A continuously variable transmission will likely be the sole transmission option, and buyers should be able to choose between front- or all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing information for the 2023 HR-V will be announced closer to the market launch.<\/p>\n<p>Honda calls this the \u201cyear of the crossover\u201d as the automaker also plans to launch redesigned versions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1131423_2023-honda-cr-v-spy-shots\">CR-V<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1131511_2023-honda-pilot-spy-shots\">Pilot<\/a> shortly, prototypes for which have been spotted testing.<\/p>\n<p>For more on the Honda HR-V, read the in-depth reviews at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecarconnection.com\/cars\/honda_cr-v\"><em>The Car Connection<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honda on Monday provided a first look at its redesigned HR-V that arrives at dealerships this summer as a 2023 model.
