The best cargo box for your 2017 Honda HR-V is going to be the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin item # TH6357B.The Force XT requires 51-1/8 inches to fit so you will have plenty of room to open your rear hatch. The 3-1/2' spacing between front and rear crossbars is also perfect. You will have no problem getting the Force XT to mount on your crossbars. This low-profile box offers 16 cubic feet of storage space and features pre-installed Quick-Grip mounts. The dual-side-opening lid lets you open the box from either side of your HR-V. I have linked a review video below.

The SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black item # SR7011 you were looking at is too long and you will not be able to open up your rear hatch.
