Overview
The Honda CR-V does not need an introduction. For the 2022 model year, the CR-V starts at an MSRP of $26,800, aiming to dominate the market with five trim configurations: LX, Special Edition, EX, EX-L and Touring. The Touring trim now gets all wheel drive (AWD) as standard. Honda's top-selling midsize crossover is known for its spacious interior, stylish trim options, top-rated safety features, and an excellent official EPA fuel economy rating of up to 30 mpg combined. All the non-hybrid trims are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 190 horsepower. The towing capacity is limited to just 1,500 pounds and AWD drivetrain is optional.Â
2022 Honda CR-V Buying Advice
For the 2022 model year, Honda has not made any significant changes as compared to the 2021 model year. The main reason behind it is the planned sale of the all-new 2023 CR-V this summer 2022. The 2023 Honda CR-V is redesigned from top to bottom, featuring sportier styling, roomier interior, multiple modern and refined features. Honda claims that the base engine is tuned for better gas mileage and response. Even handling is expected to improve, with new suspension setup and wider front and rear tracks. So in our opinion, it would be wise to wait for the sixth-generation 2023 CR-V.
The 2022 Honda CR-V is offered in both non-hybrid and hybrid trims, offering superior fuel economy, desirable safety features, spacious interior and good reliability. The non-hybrid trims are powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four turbo engine and CVT as standard. The near-perfect midsize crossover has also earned a Top Safety Pick award from IIHS, pointing at its impeccable safety ratings. The Honda CR-V 2022 competes with the likes of Chevrolet Equinox, Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape. The CR-V Hybrid will be covered in a separate review. Let’s see how the non-hybrid version fares in our detailed review.
