The latest generation of the popular Honda CR-V compact SUV was introduced to the market last year and has now arrived with a wide range of improvements including more interior space, more advanced connectivity and safety technologies, and a brand-new hybrid version that is just as powerful as it is efficient. The 2023 Honda CR-V offers everything you could want from your next SUV starting with best-in-class interior space and versatility.
The 2023 Honda CR-V is built on a longer overall wheelbase which provides even more interior space. There is 15.2 extra millimetres of rear seat legroom while the cargo area continues to offer over 1,100 L of cargo space behind the rear seats. The CR-V has always been one of the most welcoming and spacious compact SUVs you could buy, and the new generation continues to surpass expectations in this area.
Under the hood of most 2023 Honda CR-V models, we find a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine which has been refined to improve emissions performance while still delivering impressive performance. The CR-V delivers 190 hp and 179 pound-feet of torque which is available starting at 1,700 rpm for quicker accelerations. Honda engineers have also ensured the CR-V is more refined by lowering engine noise. Vibrations coming from the engine have also been revised, and the 2023 Honda CR-V gets an improved standard all-wheel drive system which now has the ability to send up to 50% of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels. New features include Hill Descent Control which is essentially a cruise control system for more rugged terrain.
The other impressive highlight of the new-generation CR-V is the introduction of a hybrid version in the top-of-the-line Touring trim. This model takes advantage of the latest generation two-motor hybrid electric system from Honda which pairs a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with two electric motors to deliver 204 hp and an exceptional 247 pound-feet of torque all while averaging under 7 L per 100 km of fuel consumption.
