Does the Honda HR-V have a digital speedometer?
Yes. The HR-V can display a digital speed reading, but its availability depends on the trim level and market.
In the current US lineup, higher trims generally feature a digital instrument cluster with a digital speed readout, while base models lean toward traditional analog gauges with limited digital readouts for trip information.
Digital instrument cluster availability by trim
The following summarizes which trims commonly offer a digital speedometer as part of the instrument cluster.
- EX: Digital instrument cluster with a speed readout
- EX-L: Digital instrument cluster with a speed readout
- LX: Analog speedometer (no full digital speed readout on the standard cluster in most markets)
Note that availability can vary by model year and regional market, so it’s best to verify on the specific vehicle’s build sheet or by checking the instrument cluster during a test drive.
What to look for when shopping
When evaluating a new HR-V, look for photos or the dealer’s spec sheet that show the instrument cluster. A digital speed readout will appear as a digital display showing your current speed rather than a purely mechanical or analog gauge.
In practice, if you want a digital speedometer, aim for EX or EX-L trims and confirm the instrument cluster configuration for your year and market.
Summary
Bottom line: The Honda HR-V offers a digital speedometer on higher trims (notably EX and EX-L in the US), while the base LX typically features an analog speedometer with limited digital readouts for trip data. Always confirm the exact trim configuration for your model year and market to be sure.
