A full set of exterior photographs of the 2026 Honda HR-V EX-L is now in circulation, showing Honda's compact crossover from front, rear, profile, and three-quarter angles. The images offer a complete look at the EX-L trim's bodywork on its own, with no commentary on ride or handling attached. For readers tracking this model year's Honda lineup, it's the clearest sight yet of the sheet metal itself, well ahead of anyone getting behind the wheel.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
