Does Honda HR-V have tinted windows?
Yes. In most markets the HR-V ships with privacy glass on the rear side windows and rear window, giving a tinted appearance; front side windows are typically lighter to comply with local regulations. Availability and tint level vary by trim and market.
Regional variations in window tint
Regional differences shape what you’ll see on showroom floors and in window tinting for the HR-V. The following sketches how tinting commonly shows up across major markets.
United States and Canada
In North America, rear privacy glass is typically included across most HR-V trims, yielding a tinted look for the rear windows and rear windshield. Front side windows are usually lighter or un-tinted beyond legal requirements.
- Rear windows and rear windshield are commonly privacy-tinted as standard equipment on most trims.
- Front side windows tend to have lighter tint levels or be clear to meet local regulations.
- Exact tint darkness and availability can vary by model year and trim package; always verify with a dealer.
Because tint configurations can change with new model years or regional packages, check the specific build sheet for the HR-V you’re considering.
Europe
Across European markets, privacy glass is frequently available or standard on several trims, with tint darkness that complies with country-specific rules. Front windows typically remain lighter to meet regional regulations.
- Rear-side windows and rear window commonly feature privacy glass on many trims.
- Front-side window tint is usually modest or clear, varying by country.
- Exact availability depends on the country and model year; confirm with a local dealer.
For buyers in Europe, it’s wise to confirm the tint package on the exact HR-V you’re considering and to review any regional compliance notes.
Asia-Pacific
In Asia-Pacific markets, rear window tinting is a typical feature, often standard on higher trims or offered as part of regional packages. Front windows generally have lighter tint levels or are clear to satisfy local laws.
- Privacy glass on rear windows frequently appears as standard or as part of a common package.
- Front-side window tint tends to be lighter, aligned with regulatory requirements.
- Model-year and trim variations mean it’s best to check the exact specification with a local dealer.
Market-specific configurations mean the HR-V you see in one country may differ from another, so dealer confirmation is key.
Practical considerations for buyers
If tinted windows matter to you, here are practical checks to guide your shopping and avoid surprises at delivery.
- Verify which windows are tinted (rear windows and rear windshield vs. front side windows) on your chosen trim.
- Know the legal tint limits for your region to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
- Ask whether the tinting is factory-installed as part of a trim package or an optional feature for your market.
Always confirm the exact tint configuration with a Honda dealer for the model year and market you’re purchasing, as specifications can change between releases.
Summary
The Honda HR-V generally includes tinted rear windows (privacy glass) as part of its standard equipment or available packages, with front-window tinting varying by region and trim. To know the exact configuration for a given model year and market, check the local spec sheet or consult a Honda dealer before purchase.
