The specs back that up, with the HR-V measuring 37.7 inches of legroom versus the Corolla Cross’ 32.0 inches. The HR-V (above left) has one of the biggest back seats in its segment, whereas the Corolla Cross is merely average. This is the one that looks more comparable to Toyota’s, but both are ultimately easier to use. The EX-L gets a 9-inch screen (pictured above left) with color graphics, a customizable home screen and permanently docked menu icons. The base unit found in the LX and Sport measures 7 inches and is simpler in operation, though still provides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Now, unlike the Corolla Cross, the HR-V has two infotainment options. Honda’s system still has those and is better for it. For instance, it no longer has physical menu shortcut buttons that make it easier to navigate – especially when using Apple CarPlay.

Where most SUVs at its price point have hard plastic, the HR-V has cushy simulated leather trim. It looks terrific, knobs and buttons click with Audi-like precision, and materials are top notch. The HR-V interior is its finest attribute, and apart from perhaps the Mazda CX-30’s, a class-leading offering.

The reliability and value retention provided by Honda and Toyota is undeniable, though, and there are in fact areas that are class-leading (just not many). Neither is one of our top recommended choices in their segment. Like a Big Mac, however, popularity does not automatically equal the best available product. The Toyota was actually one of the 10-best-selling cars in the entire world last year. The 2023 Honda HR-V and 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross are two of the most popular subcompact SUVs. 2023 Honda HR-V vs 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross: Which is better?
