2023 Honda CR-V e:HEV & e:PHEV Preview

The sixth generation of the Honda CR-V, the company’s best-selling model globally, debuts with a bolder, more confident appearance and exceptional levels of practicality, safety, connectivity, and comfort.

The popular C-segment SUV will be offered with the choice of either a full hybrid (e:HEV) powertrain or, for the first-time on a European Honda, a plug-in hybrid (e:PHEV) option, delivering dynamic performance and efficiency across the range. This expanded powertrain line up represents Honda’s multi-pathway approach to electrification and offers customers a broad range of products. Within the UK market the Honda CR-V full hybrid (e:HEV) will be offered as AWD and the Honda CR-V plug-in hybrid (e:PHEV) will be offered as 2WD.

The familiar e:HEV powertrain has been revised and updated for the new CR-V, and now features a more energy-dense, downsized battery and more efficient motor, whilst the all-new e:PHEV, with its larger battery pack, offers up to 82km (50 miles) in all-electric range.

Engineers have refined every aspect of the latest model with a focus on the advanced and sporty values of the Honda brand, while aiming to make the ultimate all-round SUV. Greater sophistication of driver aids, active safety, and connected technologies, as well as the application of high-quality materials throughout the cabin, all serve to elevate the vehicle proposition.
