CR's Take

The CR-V is one of the better models among small SUVs, thanks to its roomy cabin, good fuel economy, competent handling and standard safety features. The hybrid version gets a splendid 35 mpg. The non-hybrid version comes with a 190-hp, 1.5-liter turbo, which provides ample power even at low to mid revs. The continuously variable transmission is largely unobtrusive. Fuel economy is impressive at 28 mpg overall for the standard CR-V. Handling is nimble and sure-footed. The ride has a firm edge and more so with the hybrid. Road noise is well-suppressed, and the cabin is reasonably quiet. The interior is very roomy, particularly the rear seat, and access is easy. Note that the seats in the base versions are less supportive. Higher trims get a standard 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Honda's suite of advanced safety features is standard.

Model History

2023-Present

Current Generation

Honda completely redesigned the CR-V Hybrid for 2023 and added new standard safety features and more comfort. Along with more dynamic styling and an improved all-wheel-drive system, the automaker added a stronger hybrid powertrain. Some of the popular SUVs improvements come as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety continues to beef up its crash test standards. The CR-V features an updated body structure designed to better deflect crash energy and improve occupant protection during a variety of different types of collisions, as well as more airbags and more standard active safety and driver assistance features, including a driver attention monitoring system and a rear seat reminder.
