The new generation of SUV that arrived in the US has become larger and maintained the focus on electrification of the line, as Honda expects electrified models to represent 50% of sales of the sixth generation of the CR-V.

It will be available in four versions: EX, EX-L, Sport and Sport Touring. The first two are equipped with a 1.5 turbo engine with 192 hp and 24.74 kgfm of torque. The other options receive the 2.0 engine, associated with two more electric thrusters, offering 206 hp and 34.14 kgfm.

What changed?

Its length became longer (+6.8 cm, to 4.69 m), as did the wheelbase (+4 cm, to 2.70 m).

The design features a “cleaner” front grille, which follows the design of the headlights. At the rear, the lights continue with their vertical design, but invade the trunk with an “L” design. Inside, the multimedia screen is very similar to that of the Civic – 9 inches in the top version.

Start of sales

The 2023 CR-V will be officially launched this summer in the United States, with hybrid models promised for the end of 2022. Watch the promotional video below with model details:
