Overview

Because of its spacious cabin, pleasant ride, and dynamic powertrain, the 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid is a powerful competitor in the hybrid and electric SUV market. Before a new 2023 CR-V comes, the 2022 CR-V Hybrid remains unaltered.

This is the first generation with a hybrid available in the United States, serving to Honda consumers who desire a hybrid but prefer the look of an SUV over the Honda Insight and Honda Accord Hybrid sedans. Other hybrid small SUVs that compete with the CR-V electrified include the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Ford Escape Hybrid, and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.

What’s Newly Include in 2022

  • No notable changes

Engine, Transmission, and Fuel Efficiency

The CR-V Hybrid’s powertrain consists of a four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a continuously variable transmission, producing 212 horsepower. Because of its electric motors, this Honda can take off fast. Driving at greater speeds has plenty of peps, and the transitions between gas and electric power are smooth and seamless. 

In addition, the transmission is muted. The CR-V Hybrid achieves higher fuel efficiency than some competitor hybrid SUVs, achieving 40 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. Despite this, it is not a class leader in this category, and its ratings are much lower than those of electric SUVs.

What is the seating capacity?

There are five seats in the CR-V Hybrid. Long journeys are made more pleasant with highly cushioned seats and a decent seating position for the driver. Additionally, there is enough head- and legroom both upfront and in the rear.

How many Child Car Seats?

For the CR-V’s rear outboard seats, there are two full sets of LATCH connectors. Moreover, the rear middle seat is equipped with a tether anchor and can borrow lower anchors from the outboard seats.

Interior Quality

There is plenty of high-quality materials in the CR-V Hybrid’s cabin, which has a modern and stylish appearance. It also protects passengers from wind and road noise.

Cargo Space

The 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid isn’t as spacious as the nonhybrid Honda CR-V. Its 33.2 cubic feet of space behind the back seats and 68.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down are outstanding figures compared to competitors’ hybrid and electric SUVs of comparable size.

Infotainment, Bluetooth, and Navigation

It can be challenging to use Honda’s infotainment system. The touch screen is sluggish to respond, and the graphics aren’t as sharp as those seen in competing setups. Moreover, several of its features are hidden deep inside the submenus, making it difficult to navigate through them while driving. The only physical controls are a volume knob and steering-wheel-mounted buttons.

  • Standard infotainment features include a 7-inch touch screen, an eight-speaker stereo, satellite radio, HD Radio, Bluetooth, a USB port, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
  • Navigation, wireless device charging, and a nine-speaker stereo are among the available infotainment features.
  • Remote start, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a moonroof are all standard features.
