EPA: 2016 Honda HR-V Nets 31 MPG Combined

Those shopping for a small, fuel-efficient crossover can now add the 2016 Honda HR-V to the list, thanks to its EPA-certified 31 mpg combined rating.

Autoblog reports the HR-V also delivers 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, but only if one opts for the FWD model with CVT. Adding power to the back brings the rating down to 27 city/32 highway/29 combined, while swapping the CVT for a six-speed manual in the FWD variant pushes the savings down to 25 city/34 highway/28 combined.

Not only does the HR-V best competitors like the Nissan Juke, Kia Soul and Chevrolet Trax at the pump, the crossover also bests the Fit, which provides the HR-V with its platform. The Mazda CX-5 can keep up on the highway figure, but that's all it can do; the CX-3, which awaits EPA-certification, may do better than the HR-V, however.

The 2016 HR-V is due in U.S. showrooms this spring.
