Honda HR-V Interior Colors
When customizing the cabin of your Honda HR-V, you can pick either black or gray upholstery, depending on the model. Each choice can offer a different aesthetic to the vehicle's interior, as outlined below.
Black
Classy and unassuming – a black cloth interior is available for all three trims: LX, Sport, and EX-L. With Black, you get a cohesive design across the dashboard and all the interior accents, including those for the seats. The crisp lines of your dash and infotainment system blend into the background as you focus on the road ahead.
Gray
Gray is only available with perforated leather in the HR-V EX-L, the highest tier in the trim lineup. This brighter hue brings a more dynamic presence to your SUV's cabin and allows for a stark yet visually pleasing contrast against the black steering wheel and darker dashboard decor.
Honda HR-V Exterior Colors
As mentioned, the Honda HR-V color palette for the exterior offers eight choices to cater to various personalities and tastes.
Crystal Black Pearl
This shade is available for all three trims. Reminiscent of the blackest night, Crystal Black Pearl is a commanding, powerful hue that draws attention in your driveway and on the freeway. It offers a full, cohesive image, blending with the exterior styling elements of your Honda HR-V.
Milano Red
Available in the Sport trim only, Milano Red is a stunning shade. It's vivacious, spirited, and full of youth. This hue is the perfect option for drivers who want to stand out wherever they go. It pairs wonderfully with the exterior black elements of the vehicle – starting at the front grille and tapering across the bottom of the rear fascia.
Solar Silver Metallic
This lighter hue is available only in the LX and EL-X trims. Similar to its name, Solar Silver Metallic is gray like a cloudy morning and is the full picture of sophistication. It exudes elegance, and its shiny coating makes it even more attention-worthy. This color meshes well with the silver Honda emblem on the hood and the badging on the car's rear.
Modern Steel Metallic
Modern Steel Metallic is the perfect blend of light and dark gray tones, and it's available in the LX and EX-L trims only. This lively, smoke-like color allows your Honda hood badge and exterior accents to shine and gives off an industrial vibe and ready-for-business attitude.
Nordic Forest Pearl
Adventurers assemble! Available in all three trims, Nordic Forest Pearl drapes your Honda HR-V in a deep green-blue hue that brings to mind a peaceful cabin in the mountains or a hike among tall pines and shrubbery. You'll be ready to hit the trails when you choose this color and take advantage of this compact SUV's spacious cargo area.
Platinum White Pearl
Platinum White Pearl is pristine and crisp, and it's available in all three variants. This flawless hue reminds you of a cloud in the summer sky – fluffy, light, and clean. Your window trims, wheel wells, and other black exterior accents pop against its snowy backdrop. Plus, other silver Honda badges toe the line of blending in, only standing out to those who venture close enough to see the attention to detail.
Urban Gray Pearl
This shade is only available in the Sport and EX-L editions. Urban Gray Pearl is a darker gray, like a rain cloud, and has hints of green in certain lights. As its name suggests, it is a more modern and muted hue that will look like it belongs when driving around the city.
Boost Blue Pearl
While Milano Red provides a track-inspired feel, Boost Blue Pearl provides a playful vibe. It's spry and sporty without the aggressive edge. It's ambient, giving drivers and passersby a sense of tranquility without being too docile. It may be calm, but don't worry – it's still a nimble, curve-hugging, and terrain-friendly HR-V.
Honda HR-V Color Options Over the Years
The Honda HR-V was redesigned in 2023, and the color selection has been similar since this model year, with the addition of Boost Blue Pearl for 2026. Here is a list of some of the exterior hues you may find on older models, such as trims from 2022 or 2018:
- Mulberry Metallic
- Alabaster Silver Metallic
- White Orchid Pearl
- Misty Green Pearl
- Aegean Blue Metallic
