Will a set of golf clubs fit in the 2026 Honda HR-V near Sioux Falls, SD?
Vern Eide Honda – Will a set of golf clubs fit in the 2026 Honda HR-V near Sioux Falls, SD?
Yes — and with the right configuration, the 2026 Honda HR-V makes hauling clubs to courses around Sioux Falls surprisingly simple. At Vern Eide Honda, we walk shoppers through exactly how the HR-V’s flexible 60/40 split 2nd-row and wide hatch opening turn a compact footprint into real weekend utility for tee times at Prairie Green, Elmwood, Bakker Crossing, and beyond.
Below, we break down how clubs fit, which HR-V features matter most if golf is part of your weekly routine, and a few easy tips to keep your gear organized and out of sight while you grab lunch in downtown Sioux Falls after a round.
How clubs actually fit in the HR-V
Honda designed the 2026 HR-V cabin around everyday versatility. With the 2nd row in place, you have 24.4 cubic feet of usable cargo space for grocery runs or luggage. When it is time to load golf gear, simply fold part or all of the 60/40 split 2nd-row to expand the floor and length you need. Honda specifically notes that folding the 2nd row down creates enough space for a set of golf clubs — and in our experience, the low lift-over height and upright hatch opening make the process quick even in tighter clubhouse parking lots.
If you are bringing a riding partner, fold just the 40 side to create a long pass-through for the bag while keeping a rear seat available. Solo round? Fold both sides flat for maximum room, add a push cart, and still keep your shoes and jacket tidy along the side rails. Because the split design is asymmetrical, you can test a few layouts to find the perfect angle for your specific bag and cart combo.
Simple loading routine for local tee times
To make loading clubs repeatable and easy before early morning rounds, use this quick routine our team demonstrates on the showroom floor. It helps protect the interior and gets you on your way faster, whether you are heading up I-29 to Elmwood or cutting across 57th Street to Prairie Green.
- Open the hatch and prep the space: Lift the hatch and fold the 60 or 40 section you need. If you have the accessory cargo tray, make sure it is seated flat.
- Load the golf bag first: Place the club heads toward the front passenger side and the bag base near the hatch for easy grab-and-go access.
- Add the push cart or extras: Slide a folded cart alongside the bag on the folded seatback. Shoes and balls tuck neatly along the outer wheelwell.
- Cover and secure small items: Use the accessory cargo cover to keep valuables out of view before you head to lunch or errands.
This layout keeps heavier items low and forward for a stable ride and reduces scuffs on the seatbacks when you are moving gear in and out multiple times a week.
Accessories that make golf days cleaner and safer
The HR-V’s factory accessories can turn a good loading setup into a great one — especially if you play through dew, dust, or a quick post-round rain. Every item below is designed to fit the HR-V precisely and is available through our parts counter at Vern Eide Honda.
- Cargo tray: A durable, raised-edge liner that helps protect against wet shoes, turf debris, and sandy lies that hitch a ride back to the lot.
- Seatback protectors: Textured covers that guard folded seatbacks from cart wheel marks and bag stand rub.
- Cargo cover: A retractable panel that keeps your clubs and valuables out of sight when parked at the clubhouse or downtown.
- All-season floor mats: Easy-to-rinse mats that trap grass and grit from the front seats to the rear footwells.
If you haul bikes on off days, the accessory roof rack and lockable frame-mount bike attachment can carry two bicycles securely while freeing up the cargo area for clubs and coolers.
Driving to and from the course — what matters most
Golf days are better when the drive is calm and comfortable. The HR-V’s 158-hp, 2.0-liter engine delivers smooth, predictable response around town and on I-229, while the MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension help the HR-V stay composed over expansion joints and neighborhood speed humps near the course. If your plans take you onto gravel access roads or across uneven lots, available Real Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System™ can distribute torque to help you pull away with confidence.
Inside, body-stabilizing front seats help reduce fatigue on longer drives to regional outings, and the available leather-trimmed driver’s seat with 8-way power adjustment on EX-L helps you dial in a precise posture before early tee times. Dual-zone automatic climate control on EX-L keeps both front passengers comfortable when the sun breaks through or the evening cools.
Parking and loading are also stress-free thanks to a standard multi-angle rearview camera and, on EX-L, front and rear Parking Sensors that can alert you when you are getting close to a curb or post near the cart barn. The Blind Spot Information System is standard on Sport and EX-L and, along with the cross traffic monitor, is especially helpful when you are backing out between taller vehicles in a crowded lot.
Tech that fits a golfer’s routine
Planning an early tee time? Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility are standard, so you can leave the cords at home and queue up directions, a scoring app, and your pre-round playlist on the standard high-definition, 9-Inch Color Touchscreen. On EX-L, the 8-speaker audio system adds fuller sound for drives out to Brandon or Harrisburg, and Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® on Sport and EX-L automatically locks the HR-V as you stroll away to the pro shop with keys in your pocket.
Every HR-V includes Honda Sensing®, a suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. On the interstate to a weekend scramble, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow can help with the flow of traffic, while the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) helps you stay centered. Around town, the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) and Road Departure Mitigation System are there to assist and help protect you and your passengers.
If you are comparing trims with golf in mind, here is a quick way to think about them: LX gives you the space, Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility, and the 9-Inch Color Touchscreen that make club-hauling easy. Sport adds heated front seats, Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock®, and the Blind Spot Information System. EX-L layers on leather-trimmed seats, the 8-speaker audio system, dual-zone climate, Parking Sensors, and a one-touch power moonroof — creature comforts that make before- and after-round drives feel a touch more premium.
Most importantly, all trims offer available Real Time AWD™. If you often park on unpaved shoulders near smaller courses, or your weekend plans include gravel detours along the Big Sioux River, AWD can be a smart add-on for extra confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to fold the entire 2nd row to fit clubs?
No. The 60/40 split lets you fold just one side to create a long pass-through while keeping a rear seat available. Folding both sides maximizes floor length for a bag plus a push cart.
Will the HR-V hide my clubs when parked?
Yes. The accessory cargo cover helps keep valuables stored in the cargo area out of view, which is useful when you park at the clubhouse or stop in downtown Sioux Falls after a round.
What can I add to protect the interior from grass and dirt?
We recommend the cargo tray for the rear, all-season floor mats for the cabin, and seatback protectors if you regularly fold the 2nd row for gear. All are Honda Genuine Accessories designed to fit the HR-V precisely.
Which trims include the Blind Spot Information System?
The Blind Spot Information System with cross traffic monitor is standard on Sport and EX-L trims. A multi-angle rearview camera is standard across all trims.
Can I test-fit my golf bag and cart at the dealership?
Absolutely. Bring your gear to Vern Eide Honda at 5200 S Louise Ave and we will help you try different 60/40 configurations, demonstrate the accessory cargo cover and cargo tray, and make sure your setup works the way you want.
