2022 Honda HR-V: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2022 Honda HR-V
1st generation U.S.-market HR-V (2016-2022), final year before the all-new 2023 redesign.
Honda positioned the HR-V as a do-it-all small crossover that blends SUV usefulness, city-friendly size, and hatchback-like cargo flexibility. Official Honda marketing emphasized its clever cabin layout and three cargo/seating modes, plus the availability of AWD, as the reason to choose it over less versatile small SUVs. In plain terms, the 2022 HR-V’s identity is practical everyday transportation for people who want a small footprint without giving up flexible space.
The 2022 HR-V lineup ranged from the simple, practical LX to the leather-trimmed EX-L. Sport emphasized appearance and phone connectivity with 18-inch wheels, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, while EX added heated front seats, a moonroof, and Honda’s driver-assist safety suite.
