2022 Honda HR-V Owner’s Manual

The 2022 Honda HR-V is set to be the last in the current form of this popular crossover SUV based on the Fit/Jazz chassis.

After just launching a new generation in 2021 which continued and enhanced the vehicle’s utility and practicality, Honda is planning the unveiling of a new model for 2023 with extensive redesigns to give the HR-V more curb appeal in this competitive market segment.

Meanwhile, the 2022 model starts at a very reasonable $21,420, with 7 available exterior color choices and 4 available trim levels: LX, Sport, EX and EX-L.

All 4 trim levels run on an inline-4 engine with 1.8L displacement and up to 141-hp and 127 lb-ft of torque.

The powertrains are linked with a CVT transmission with Sport Mode, and manual paddle shifters are also available for the Sport, EX, and EX-L trims. AWD is available on all trim levels.

It’s fairly efficient for a gasoline-only powertrain in a crossover build, offering up to 28-mpg in the city, 34-mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 30-mpg.

For the AWD drive, it’s 27-, 31- and 29-mpg respectively.

Standard safety features on the 2022 Honda HR-V include ABS, vehicle stability assist, tire pressure monitoring and LED daytime running lights, among other features.

The top 2 trim levels also get the Honda Sensing suite, which includes collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, auto high-beam headlights and more.

The 2022 Honda HR-V interior includes seating for up to 5, and generous legroom for a crossover vehicle, as well 24.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up.

That goes up to 58.8 cubic feet when you put those seats down.

For connectivity, there’s a 7-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (from Sport upwards), and access to HondaLink which connects your car to your smartphone for details on the car’s location, fuel range, etc.
