How many mpg does the Honda HR-V AWD get in Sacramento?

The EPA rates the 2026 HR-V AWD at 25 mpg in city driving, 30 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg combined. Sacramento drivers who split their miles between city streets and the freeway can plan around that range. The EPA’s combined figure is a weighted average, with the city number counting 55% and the highway number 45% (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026). At Capital City Honda, we sell new Honda HR-V models at 3630 Fulton Avenue in Sacramento.

How much fuel economy does the Honda HR-V AWD cost you versus front-wheel drive?

The all-wheel drive model gives up a little efficiency for its traction. The EPA rates the 2026 HR-V AWD at 25 city, 30 highway and 27 combined, while the FWD is rated 26, 32 and 28. The EPA certification record puts the yearly fuel cost at $2,300 for the AWD and $2,250 for the FWD, and lists CO2 output at 328.0 grams per mile for the AWD and 311.0 for the FWD.

What does all-wheel drive do for a Sacramento driver?

All-wheel drive adds weight rather than power. The EX-L AWD weighs 3,336 pounds against 3,221 pounds for the EX-L FWD, and both make 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. Sacramento’s rain comes in one short window. NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Sacramento Executive Airport show a normal January precipitation of 3.66 inches against 0.00 inches in July (NOAA, 1991-2020 normals). The extra grip matters most in that winter stretch, when the roads are wet.

What mpg will Sacramento city and freeway driving give an HR-V AWD?

The EPA’s city and highway ratings for the AWD, 25 and 30 mpg, are the range a Sacramento driver can plan around. City stop-and-go lands near the low end and steady freeway speeds near the high end. Sacramento city workers spend a mean 25.3 minutes traveling to work (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 1-Year Estimates, 2024), so most daily trips are short enough that the city figure shapes the monthly fuel bill.

Which HR-V trim fits a Sacramento buyer: LX, Sport or EX-L?

The three trims step up in price, and each comes in front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The 2026 starting prices are $26,500 for the LX FWD and $28,000 for the LX AWD, $28,300 for the Sport FWD and $29,800 for the Sport AWD, and $30,350 for the EX-L FWD and $31,850 for the EX-L AWD. A buyer who wants all-wheel drive can choose it on any of the three trims. A buyer who commutes on dry city streets can pick the trim by price and the features they want.
