I’ve got the same vehicle down here in the US and I find the same thing with the cold weather milage. I run the heat sparingly as well. Something else worth noting is that when the outside temps are low the vehicle will also run the engine as needed to heat the hybrid battery regardless of how I set the cabin temp. The good news is that during the rest of the year I’m getting way better fuel efficiency than even the EPA rating. Traveling at or even a few MPH above the posted speed limits I’m averaging above 40 MPG in combined driving. I’m loving the CR-V Sport Touring.
Thanks for the information. My understanding is that the electric heater in the vehicle requires just about as much electricity as a regular hair dryer at about 1300W. It will be very demanding for the hybrid engine especially one that is not fully warmed up to the normal operation temperature to provide that amount of current to heat the interior of the vehicle. What would save even more fuel in the winter season is to turn on the heated seats to high if available while not turning on the heater until the engine temperature has reach its optimal operation level which is just below the middle line because the heated seats would only require about 60W of electric and has direct contact to heat the driver's body.

Yes, January is not the best time for hybrid performance, but June is much better. Thanks for your comment!

Interesting, thanks!
Why not SYNC the two control knob ?
Make sure A/C is off….default is on.
Right 👍
Can you make A/C off default in vehicle settings .?
That’s a tip, lol
