What the Critics Say
Honda CR-V Hybrid Features
Efficient Performance
If you’re the type of driver who demands maximum efficiency, the Honda CR-V Hybrid lets you enjoy the benefits of its sophisticated two-motor powertrain. Shared with the current Accord Hybrid, this unique powertrain combines two electric motors with a 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC Atkinson cycle engine with greater than 40 percent thermal efficiency. These characteristics allow the CR-V Hybrid to operate without the need for a conventional automatic transmission, allowing for smooth and seamless power delivery at all speeds. The compact intelligent power unit (IPU), housing the hybrid battery pack and its control systems, is mounted under the cargo floor to preserve interior versatility. In total, the Honda CR-V Hybrid delivers 212 horsepower with an anticipated increase in EPA-estimated city fuel economy by 50%.
Luxurious Interior
Driving a fuel-efficient SUV no longer means making sacrifices on comfort thanks to the introduction of the Honda CR-V Hybrid. Unique interior trim helps distinguish the CR-V Hybrid from its traditional sibling. The most apparent of these is a distinctive push-button gear selector flanked by three switches for Econ, Sport or EV modes. You’ll also enjoy an instrument panel that’s unique to CR-V Hybrid models featuring a display with power distribution and regeneration readouts. Available leather-trimmed seating surfaces lets you and your passengers relax as the miles fly past your windshield. With an available 7-inch touchscreen Display Audio interface with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration – your favorite apps and media can always come along for the journey.
Groundbreaking Safety
For the ultimate in confidence behind the wheel, every Honda CR-V Hybrid comes standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive safety technologies. Examples of these technologies include Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and pedestrian sensing capability. One feature that’s unique to the CR-V Hybrid is a new Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS). This innovative system includes a speaker mounted in the front bumper which can generate a distinct audible alert that varies in volume depending on vehicle speed for increased pedestrian awareness.
