Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 HR-V.
The 2017 Honda HR-V is a passenger car equipped with an automatic AV-S7 transmission and runs on 0W-20 oil with a 3.9-quart capacity, delivering EPA-rated fuel economy of 27 city, 31 highway, and 29 combined mpg. In its debut model year, the HR-V logged 120 owner complaints with the power train as the top complaint area and zero recalls, a figure that sits well below the model's peak of 681 complaints in 2023 across the 2016–2026 span and above the 11 complaints recorded for 2026. This positions the 2017 as a relatively low-complaint entry in the HR-V's reliability history, suggesting a stronger early showing before complaint volumes rose in later years.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The federal record for the Honda HR-V shows a fluctuating complaint trend, starting at 237 in 2016 and peaking sharply at 681 in 2023. The 2017 model year represents a significant low point in this arc, recording only 120 complaints and zero recalls, whereas 2016 and 2018 saw 2 and 3 recalls respectively. Primary complaint areas for 2017 include the Power Train (19) and Electrical System (17), though the data does not specify the root causes for these issues. Safety records for the target year show 13 crash complaints and zero fire complaints. Because it lacks the recalls found in adjacent years and maintains a lower complaint volume than most of the generation, this is a good year to buy.
All 120 complaints on record, top 8 components.
