HONDA CRV Car Gasoline Hybrid Family SUV E:HEV Vehicle 4WD AWD Automobile

• Vehicle Specification

The Honda CR-V is a large family SUV with a stylish, modern exterior design, comfortable interior and the option of a frugal plug-in hybrid engine.

With smart, upmarket alternatives as varied as the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Peugeot 5008, the CR-V has plenty of popular options to tackle– like a strapping centre-back going up against the technically gifted Manchester City midfield.

Much like a pampered professional footballer, the Honda CR-V is a smart looking thing. It has hints of Volvo from the back, sharp creases in the side, and a big grille with narrow headlights. There’s a cool edge to it.

The Honda CR-V adds a Sport-L trim level for 2024, and starting prices are up across the board. The new Sport-L bridges the gap between Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims, and like those two is only offered as a hybrid. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional for the new trim level. The Sport-L gets leather seats, a four-way power passenger seat, front and rear parking sensors, a wireless charging pad, satellite radio, driver’s-seat memory, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Additionally, the Sport-L comes standard with a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system (2.0 inches larger than the Sport’s) and an eight-speaker audio system that betters the Sport’s six-speaker setup but falls short of the Sport Touring’s Bose-branded 12-speaker system.
