How many filters does a Honda HRV have?
Two primary, replaceable filters: the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. In the U.S. and Canada, there is no separate serviceable fuel filter; fuel filtration is built into the fuel pump assembly and is not a routine maintenance item. Market and model-year variations exist, so check your owner’s manual for specifics.
Understanding which filters matter, where they live, and how often to replace them helps keep the HR-V running cleanly and the cabin comfortable. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect with this vehicle.
The two primary filters you’ll replace
To keep the HR-V breathing clean air and to maintain interior air quality, these two filters are the main focus of routine maintenance.
- Engine air filter — located in the engine compartment; replaces to keep dirt and debris from entering the intake system.
- Cabin air filter — located behind the glove box or under the dashboard (varies by year); replaces to improve interior air quality and odor control.
Replacement intervals vary by model year and driving conditions, but typical guidelines are roughly every 12,000–30,000 miles for the engine air filter and every 15,000–30,000 miles for the cabin filter. Always consult the owner's manual and maintenance schedule for precise recommendations.
Fuel filter and other filters
In current U.S./Canada HR-Vs, there is no separate, serviceable fuel filter; the fuel filter is integrated with the fuel pump and not a user-maintenance item. In some overseas markets or older generations, a fuel filter may exist in the fuel line as a service item. Other common filters, such as transmission or oil filters, are either not user-serviceable or are part of routine oil/filter changes, and are not counted as separate vehicle filters in everyday maintenance.
Summary
For the typical Honda HR-V, there are two main, user-replaceable filters: engine air and cabin air. The fuel filtration setup in US/Canada does not require regular replacement by owners. Always verify with your manual for your exact model year and market.
