Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 HR-V.
The 2022 Honda HR-V pairs a continuously variable automatic transmission (AV-S7) with an engine that takes 3.9 quarts of 0W-20 oil and returns EPA ratings of 26 city, 31 highway, and 28 combined mpg. Owner-reported complaints for the model year total 81, with the power train emerging as the leading concern and three recalls issued. In the broader complaint history spanning 2016 through 2026, the 2022 HR-V sits well below the 2023 peak of 681 complaints and above the 2026 low of 11, suggesting a middling but not alarming reliability footprint for this generation.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 Honda HR-V occupies a period of relative stability within the generation's record, following a downward trend in complaints from 2016 through 2021. With 81 complaints and 3 recalls, 2022 is significantly more stable than the 2023 model year, which experienced a spike to 681 complaints. The target year's primary complaint areas are the Power Train (9) and Steering (5), though the data does not specify the root causes of these reports. Notably, 2022 recorded only 9 Technical Service Bulletins, a substantial decrease from the 77 to 109 TSBs seen in the 2016-2020 period. The record for this year also includes 10 crash complaints and one fire complaint. Because of its low TSB volume and stability relative to the 2023 model, this is a good year to buy.
