2022 Honda CR-V

The redesigned CR-V gains features, space, and refinement. The base model is fitted with a carryover 184-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Upper trims sport a 190-hp, 1.5-liter turbo. A continuously variable transmission is standard and works well with both engines. Fuel economy from either engine is impressive. Handling is more nimble and sure-footed, and the firm ride is steady and compliant. Road noise has been suppressed, resulting is a quieter cabin. The interior is very comfortable and roomy, particularly the rear seat, and more upscale. An available 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility and Garmin navigation, but its touch screen logic isn't particularly intuitive. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot warning come standard on all but the base LX model. Updates for 2020 include a hybrid version added to the lineup; it returned 35 mpg overall in our tests. Also new is that the base LX model gets the EX's 1.5-liter turbo engine, and the Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety features is now standard on all trim lines.
