Honda's sixth-generation 2023 CR-V compact crossover, designed to be more rugged with more tech and enhanced driving dynamics, features a new hybrid trim positioned at the top of the lineup.
Honda's sixth-generation made-in-Canada 2023 CR-V compact crossover is bigger, sportier and will feature a hybrid trim positioned at the top of the Canadian lineup that the Japanese automaker hopes will entice half of all buyers to go green.
The hybrid trim is not only aimed at luring new buyers at a time of record gasoline prices, they are also designed to keep the CR-V competitive with the RAV4. The two rivals dominate the compact crossover segment, now the largest in the industry. Output for the gasoline models remains the same at 190 hp and 179 pound-feet of torque. Peak torque arrives 300 rpm earlier, between 1,700 and 1,500 rpm, which improves response. Engine noise also has been reduced.Just like the recently launched, second-generation HR-V subcompact crossover, the CR-V will feature standard Hill Descent Control, giving the driver control on slippery or steep roads when driving between three and 20 km/h.
The CR-V interior undergoes a complete redressing with higher-quality materials and less surface reflection in the instrument panel to reduce visual distraction. A honeycomb mesh that conceals the air vents spans the dash for a sleeker, less cluttered look.
