Comparison Review

Comfort
The Honda HR-V offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan ARIYA, with comparable head- and legroom. The Honda HR-V offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Nissan ARIYA, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Honda HR-V is a better financial choice over the Nissan ARIYA, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda HR-V is much slimmer than the Nissan ARIYA, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Honda HR-V takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan ARIYA.

Handling
The Honda HR-V has a larger turning radius than the Nissan ARIYA, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda HR-V has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan ARIYA.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda HR-V does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan ARIYA.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda HR-V and the Nissan ARIYA. The Honda HR-V has less cargo space than the Nissan ARIYA, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
