Looks like it got the 1.8 SOHC Civic engine, but derated so that it only makes 8 HP and 13 ft-lbs more than the Fit. No direct injection? Mileage is going to take a fairly big hit if that's the case. No Diesel option as in Europe, darnit.
3 inch longer wheelbase,
9 inches longer overall,
3 inches taller (but more ground clearance too, so little increase in headroom),
3 inches wider,
6 ft^3 more cargo volume seats up or down,
5 ft^3 more passenger volume.
It's a Fit that sits higher, has a bit more elbow room, and a bit more junk in the trunk.

Stepping up to the EX trim adds Honda's Lane Watch blind-spot camera and the 7-inch touchscreen interface that we found frustrating to use in the Fit and Civic. Other features on the upper trims include keyless ignition and entry, a sunroof, heated front seats, leather upholstery, satellite and HD radios and a fully integrated navigation system. As in the Civic, there will likely be a much cheaper navigation app available for smartphones that integrates rather imperfectly with the 7-inch touchscreen

The new HR-V is not too shabby. It does look alot like the 2015 Fit but I don't think it'll get the same MPG as the Fit. Looking at the specs I am going to say probably 35 MPG on the highway due to heavier car, AWD and it's not direct injection engine.
HR-V gives folks a choice between the CR-V and Fit.
Pricing will be interesting as well.

Looks like a Fit? I don't know what people are seeing, but over here in Japan, the Vezel (HR-V there) looks 100x better, to my eyes, than the new Fit in exterior appearance. I still can not get over the cheap door look of the new Fit, they went Toyboat cheap looking with the new doors. I'm also not a fan of the character line/crease that runs along the sides. The GE is still the best looker for myself, but I really do like the look of the Vezel and only wished it was offered with a MT/hybrid setup like the CR-Z.
