Honda’s evolutionary redesign of the CR-V retains this popular compact SUV’s focus on functionality. We like that the ride comfort has improved, the controls are easier to use, and that the hybrid version gets the same excellent 35 mpg overall as the previous model—even while gaining size and weight in the transformation. Besides the 9-mpg advantage the CR-V Hybrid boasts over the conventional model, we also prefer its more pleasant and predictable powertrain. Add in the CR-V Hybrid’s reasonably comfortable ride, secure handling, and generous cabin space, and this is one of the best small SUVs you can buy. The loud cabin is one of the vehicle’s few demerits.

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.

2020-2022

2020 Redesign Year

The CR-V Hybrid is one of the better models among small SUVs, thanks to its roomy cabin, excellent fuel economy, competent handling and standard safety features. It returns a splendid 35 mpg overall. The continuously variable transmission is largely unobtrusive. Handling is nimble and sure-footed. The ride has a firm edge to it. Road noise is well-suppressed, and the cabin is reasonably quiet. The interior is very roomy, particularly the rear seat, and access is easy. 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.
