How wide is the Honda HR-V with mirrors?
The Honda HR-V is about 75 inches wide with the mirrors extended, and about 71 inches wide without mirrors.
This article explains what those width figures mean, how they’re measured, and why the numbers matter for parking, passing in traffic, and overall vehicle footprint in today’s HR-V lineup.
Official measurements and what they mean
Automakers publish width figures in two ways: a measurement that includes the side mirrors and a measurement that reflects the body width without mirrors. For the HR-V, the two commonly cited figures are useful for understanding how wide the car is in normal driving versus what you’ll encounter when you’re maneuvering in tight spaces. The exact numbers can vary slightly by trim or mirror package, but the ranges below reflect the typical current model.
What the two width figures represent
- Overall width with mirrors: 75.0 inches (190.5 cm)
- Body width excluding mirrors: 71.0 inches (180.3 cm)
These figures come from Honda’s official specifications for the latest HR-V lineup. In practice, your actual experience of width can vary a little due to mirror design, folding capability, or optional accessories.
Practical implications for drivers
Width affects how easily you’ll navigate lanes, parking stalls, and narrow passageways. The wider measurement with mirrors is the one you’ll want to consider when judging whether a lane or garage opening is wide enough. If you frequently park in tight spots, folding the side mirrors inward can shave a few inches from the footprint, aiding maneuverability without sacrificing visibility when the mirrors are extended.
For highway driving and everyday commuting, use the broader width as a reference point for lane discipline and safe clearance from adjacent vehicles. If you share driving responsibilities or live in urban environments with tight spaces, keeping the mirrors folded in when parked can help prevent accidental contact with nearby objects.
Summary
The Honda HR-V’s official width with mirrors is about 75.0 inches (190.5 cm), while the body width without mirrors is about 71.0 inches (180.3 cm). These measurements reflect the current HR-V generation and may vary slightly by trim or mirror configuration. Always check your specific model’s door jamb sticker or the latest Honda spec sheet for exact figures.
