It was merely a matter of time until Honda hybridized its wildly popular CR-V. Everything we've come to expect and admire about the standard CR-V has been carried over. But, as smoothly as the 2022 CR-V Hybrid drives, its lackluster acceleration leaves us wishing for just a bit more grunt. Also it doesn't seem to have markedly better real-world fuel economy than the non-hybrid version.

Better than Expected!

2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I went from an Accord EX-L to my CR-V Hybrid Touring. The amenities are essentially the same so I am not “missing” anything. I researched Lexus NX350h (new for 2022) and where CR-V tops out in price and Lexus begins, the CR-V has MUCH more to offer. Yes, Lexus does add their “Safety 3.0” and that does offer better safety but Lexus IS all-new for 2022 and the CR-V is in its fifth year … with this model year so not a fair comparison. What is a fair comparison is features like REAL leather in the CR-V and plastic (PU) in the NX. Better mileage and more room in the CR-V. I have owned my CR-V seven months and put almost 11,000 miles on it and have gone on some road trips. Let me tell you, the ride is quiet, smooth, and very enjoyable. The seats are very comfortable! The adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keep assist (LKAS) make it very easy to ride (yes, ride and not drive) in this car. Sure, I’m driving but the car brakes for me when I approach the car in front of me and resumes speed when the safe distance is resumed (four modes to select from). The LKAS actually steers the car for me (not make a turn). Makes driving long distances very easy! Let’s talk mileage. My overall MPG average since I left the dealership with .2 miles is 40.5!! I have not reset my Trip B odometer and mileage so that is my actual reading. I consistently average 41.7 MPG each week. You might ask then why is your overall mileage lower? Well, because I live in AZ and when I go on road trips I go north to the mountains and climbing up mountains takes a bit more gas but I still got 35 MPGs average on my 470 mile weekend trip! So read all the reviews of those who don’t have good to say about the CR-V and know that it’s probably their aggressive driving habits that cause them to be disappointed that their CR-V missed the mark or not what they expected. Remember, it’s an SUV and not a racing performance car so if one is aggressive with the gas pedal, it does not matter if the car is a hybrid, the mileage will suffer! And lastly, to the Pompano Beach, FL person who is disappointed that the seats are not cooled and gave the CR-V only 2 stars, how ridiculous of them! Why is it Honda‘s fault that the seats are not cooled and not their fault for making sure before making the car purchase? A review of the car should be about the car and NOT one’s lack of due diligence to make an informed purchase!!

Smooth, quiet, super comfortable

This vehicle handles like a dream. The acceleration is impressive, and the transition from electric is barely noticeable. While the practical safety features give peace of mind, the interior, from the steering wheel to the dashboard to the seats, feels surprisingly like a luxury model.

2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Great luxury features (love the seat warmers and steering wheel warmer, auto headlights and auto windshield wipers). Having a hybrid is super. But the real world mileage does not meet the manufacturer’s claims, and EV mode is not very useful in practice. Nonetheless, my CR-V hybrid does a lot better mileage wise than my last SUV. And I’ve read car site expert reviews knocking the dash …

Surprisingly quiet

2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Just purchased a new 2022 cr-v hybrid suv, the touring model. First off, it is to my wife and I, a luxury vehicle. Yes I know that this is not a luxury car, but to us it very nice. Great features, but the thing that has to take time is how quiet it is. When you start the car, no engine noise, just a warning on the dash that says, “ car is ready to drive. “ Plenty of space and …
