About the Honda HR-V Transmission (CVT Automatic)

Need a replacement Honda HR-V CVT transmission? Part Nests sources OEM used CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) units for Honda HR-V applications. The Honda HR-V is Honda’s subcompact crossover positioning – Honda’s subcompact CUV / SUV offering positioned below the mainstream Honda CR-V compact crossover in the Honda US-market SUV lineup. Represents Honda’s approach to the growing subcompact crossover market segment competing with the Toyota C-HR, Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul / Seltos, Mazda CX-3 / CX-30, and various other subcompact crossover competitors during the various eras. Two distinct generation contexts across HR-V CVT applications – Honda HR-V 2016 to 2022 (first-generation US-market HR-V using CVT automatic, FWD or AWD variants) and Honda HR-V 2023 and up (second-generation all-new HR-V using CVT automatic, verify by VIN). Same underlying transmission technology approach (CVT) across both generations but distinct specific transmission unit configurations. See our related 2016 Honda HR-V CVT Transmission listing for context on 2016-specific first-generation applications. CVT function – the Continuously Variable Transmission uses a belt-and-pulley variable ratio drive system providing seamless variable gear ratio operation across the vehicle drive range. Standard Honda CVT approach used across various Honda CVT-equipped applications. Case inspection – no cracks, sound housing and pan. No active leaks at seals or pan. Connectors and mounts present and intact. Fluid, torque converter (unless noted), mounts, and external sensors not included unless ordered. Qualified shop, genuine Honda CVT fluid, correct fill level, and any required relearn procedures required for install. Each CVT is case inspected with leak check performed. Call (855) 634-4447 to verify HR-V generation (2016-2022 or 2023+), drive type (FWD or AWD), and VIN before ordering.

Vehicle and Generation Verification

What Is Included and Not Included

Honda HR-V Vehicle Context (Subcompact Crossover, Two Generations)

• Honda HR-V subcompact crossover: The Honda HR-V is Honda’s subcompact crossover CUV / SUV offering. Represents Honda’s approach to the growing subcompact crossover market segment during the mid-2010s onward era. Positioned below the mainstream Honda CR-V compact crossover in the Honda US-market SUV lineup. Distinctive Honda subcompact SUV positioning with practical packaging and Honda’s reliability reputation
• First-generation HR-V (2016-2022): Per the source data compatibility, Honda HR-V, 2016 to 2022 – first generation CVT, FWD or AWD. First-generation US-market HR-V (2016-2022 model years, approximately 7-year production window) uses CVT automatic transmission. Available in both FWD (front-wheel-drive) and AWD (all-wheel-drive) variants across the trim range. Represents Honda’s US-market entry into the subcompact crossover segment
• Second-generation HR-V (2023+): Per the source data compatibility, Honda HR-V, 2023 and up – second generation CVT, confirm by VIN. Second-generation US-market HR-V (2023 and up model years) uses CVT automatic transmission with distinct specific transmission unit configurations vs the first-generation applications. All-new second-generation vehicle platform with distinct architecture
• HR-V competitive positioning: Positioned to compete in the subcompact crossover segment competing with Toyota C-HR, Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul / Seltos, Mazda CX-3 / CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Chevrolet Trailblazer / Trax, Ford EcoSport / Bronco Sport, and various other subcompact crossover competitors during the various eras
• HR-V global context: The HR-V nameplate has global variants across various Honda markets including the Japanese domestic market (Honda Vezel in some markets), European markets, and various other global markets. This listing focuses on US-market HR-V applications
• Honda subcompact crossover growth: The subcompact crossover market segment experienced significant growth during the mid-to-late 2010s and early 2020s era. Honda’s HR-V represents Honda’s response to this market segment growth with distinctive Honda packaging and reliability approach

CVT Transmission Function and Fluid Requirements Context

• CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) function: The CVT uses a belt-and-pulley variable ratio drive system providing seamless variable gear ratio operation across the vehicle drive range. Distinct from traditional multi-speed automatic transmissions – CVT provides continuously variable ratio operation without discrete gear steps
• Honda CVT approach: Honda uses CVT automatic transmission technology across various Honda applications including the HR-V, Civic, Accord (V6 variants excepted), Fit, Insight, and various other Honda CVT-equipped applications. Standard Honda CVT technology approach with brand-specific engineering and fluid requirements
• FWD or AWD variant verification: Per the source data compatibility, first generation CVT, FWD or AWD. Drive type variant verification required – FWD (front-wheel-drive) and AWD (all-wheel-drive) variants may use different specific CVT unit configurations. Verify drive type at order
• Case inspection: Per the source data case, no cracks, sound housing and pan. Case structural condition verification – transmission case housing and pan intact, no structural cracks. Critical structural integrity verification for used transmission unit
• Leak inspection: Per the source data leaks, no active leaks at seals or pan. Leak inspection verification – no active leaks at the various transmission seals or pan. Standard used transmission condition documentation
• External condition inspection: Per the source data external, connectors and mounts present and intact. External condition verification – electrical connectors present and intact, transmission mount attachment points present and intact. Standard external condition documentation
• Genuine Honda CVT fluid requirement: Per the source data tools note, a qualified shop, genuine Honda CVT fluid, the correct fill level, and any required relearn. Critical installation requirement – Honda CVT applications require genuine Honda CVT fluid (NOT generic CVT fluid or non-Honda-approved fluid) for correct CVT operation and durability. Correct fill level and any required transmission relearn procedures required
• What is not included: Per the source data, fluid, torque converter unless noted, mounts, and external sensors, unless ordered. Standard scope – the CVT unit as pictured is provided. Additional items (Honda CVT fluid, torque converter unless noted, transmission mounts, external sensors) are separate items – obtain / confirm separately as required
