Nicely mannered and efficient, the Honda CR-V Hybrid is a teacher’s pet among compact SUVs.

The 2022 CR-V Hybrid is a more fuel-efficient take on Honda’s already highly regarded five-seat compact SUV. Sure, the standard CR-V is similarly relaxing to drive and has one of the largest cargo areas among competitors, including the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, and Ford Escape. To this, the CR-V Hybrid adds a more fuel-efficient four-cylinder paired to two electric motors and a continuously variable transmission. All-wheel drive is standard.

The result is an EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined average in city and highway driving. Fuel economy figures are based on EPA estimates for when vehicle sold as new. Actual mileage will vary based on things like battery age, vehicle condition and history, driving and charging habits, accessory use, and driving conditions. Battery capacity may decrease with time and use. See fueleconomy.gov for more info. This is a very smooth and refined powertrain, though ultimate acceleration is merely OK and wind noise seeps into the cabin at highway speed. Yet with its spacious cabin, agile steering, and ample standard driver aids, the CR-V Hybrid is a well-rounded pick.

What We Like

Engine refinement: The fact that the CR-V Hybrid is easy on a fuel budget is a key positive with this five-seat SUV. What’s even better is how seamlessly the gas engine and two electric motors operate. In city and highway driving, the hybrid powertrain nicely fades into the background.

Cargo space: If you need to haul lots of stuff in an SUV that’s maneuverable and able to squeeze into tight parking spots, put the CR-V Hybrid on your shopping list. A low cargo floor and wide-opening tailgate make getting stuff in or out of the trunk a breeze, too.

Standard driver aids: With its family-friendly image, the CR-V Hybrid is – not surprisingly – packed with standard driver-assistance features. These include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic warning.

What Needs Improvement

Dated infotainment system: Compared to newer rivals, the CR-V Hybrid’s infotainment system is feeling dated. The response times can be slow and the menus are overly complicated for relatively simple commands.
