The 2022 Honda HR-V in Malaysia comes with two main transmission options, depending on the trim level. The entry-level variants are kitted out with Honda's Earth Dreams CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that simulates 7 speeds. Step up to the higher-spec models, and you might get that same CVT but with paddle shifters for a bit more driving engagement. Both gearboxes are known for being smooth and fuel-efficient, which is perfect for Malaysia's stop-start city traffic and those longer highway cruises. CVTs work by using a钢带 to deliver seamless power, which generally helps them sip less fuel compared to traditional automatics. Oh, and across the entire HR-V range, it's front-wheel drive as standard. For Malaysian buyers, going with the CVT makes sense for a few reasons. If you're someone who wants a bit more from the driving experience, keep an eye on Honda's hybrid versions available in other markets (though the 2022 Malaysian lineup didn't include it). Those use an E-CVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission) which strikes a nicer balance between performance and fuel economy. As always, we'd recommend heading to your nearest authorised dealer for a test drive to really get a feel for how it performs.
