The new generation of the CR-V will offer a hybrid powertrain, more space than the outgoing model, and it provides more technology, specifically new safety, connectivity, and comfort technology. Here are three of the most noteworthy new features added to the 6th generation of the CR-V
A new hybrid powertrain
Honda has been very vocal about its objective of increasing its market share of hybrid and electric vehicles in the next two years. Honda hopes that 50% of CR-V sales will be electrified, and the new hybrid powertrain offered in the CR-V has everything needed to achieve that goal. It is a combination of a 4-cylinder gas engine with an Atkinson cycle paired with two electric motors for a total output of 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. This is the latest generation of the hybrid system from Honda and according to the Japanese manufacturer, it will average less than 6 L per 100 km. That could make the CR-V hybrid the most efficient hybrid compact SUV on the market.

There is an additional 15.2 mm of rear legroom, and the rear seats can recline 8 degrees. Moreover, the 2023 CR-V gets a new adjustable load floor for the cargo area which makes it possible to adjust cargo capacity by about 100 L.
