The 2021 Honda HR-V and the 2021 Toyota C-HR both have a lot to offer consumers, but they go about fulfilling needs in very different ways.

The 2021 Honda HR-V offers a wide range of versions, all are powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. This engine has an average fuel economy rating of just 8,4 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. The Toyota C-HR may have a bit more horsepower (144 horsepower), but you won’t notice the difference on the road. You will, however, notice that the HR-V is much more efficient.

The Toyota C-HR has an average fuel economy rating of 8.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 7.5 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway.
