2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid Specs, Price, MPG & Key Features
The Honda CR-V is already a tiny crossover with high efficiency. Adding an economical hybrid engine and standard all-wheel drive increases its utility. This is what you get if you choose the alluring Honda CR-V Hybrid. It offers many of the same qualities as the non-hybrid CR-V, such as a spacious cabin and advanced safety technology, while achieving a remarkable 38 mpg combined fuel efficiency rating.
The 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid debuted in the United States for the 2020 model year, and the 2022 model will not undergo any substantial alterations.

Engine and Performance
The only available powertrain for the Honda CR-V Hybrid is a 2.0-liter inline-four engine paired with two electric motors. These dual electric motors give standard all-wheel drive on every CR-V Hybrid, which is ideal for snowy conditions, but the vehicle is not particularly off-road capable. The brakes are similarly smooth and provide confidence stops up to a traffic signal or in emergency situations. But the CR-V Hybrid’s weak acceleration is a letdown. Despite claims that it is more powerful than a normal CR-V, our tests revealed otherwise. The sprint from 0-60 mph took 8.5 seconds, a full second longer than the non-hybrid variant. Longer inclines need a heavier foot, and the weak gasoline engine struggles to maintain a constant pace.
Interior & Comfort
The Honda CR-V Hybrid has ample passenger space. The first and second seats offer sufficient headroom and legroom to comfortably accommodate four persons. As is the case with other 5-passenger SUVs in this class, when all three rear seats are used, rear-seat space is quite limited. The spacious interior of the Honda CR-V Hybrid makes it appropriate for use as a compact family car.
The cargo compartment is also rather spacious, although the hybrid battery results in somewhat less space than the non-hybrid CR-V. The standard CR-V has an additional 6 cubic feet of room. By folding down the 60/40 split rear seats, you can produce a maximum of 68.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity (vs. 75.8 in the standard CR-V).
