The 2023 Honda CR-V is all-new, with a more distinct and adventurous look, a roomier cabin and long-overdue tech upgrades. The hybrid models get a modest power bump and more cargo space, while several new active safety features join the lists of standard and optional equipment.
The 2023 Honda CR-V ushers in the next generation of Honda’s compact SUV, with comprehensive updates that should keep it near the top of its class. A top-seller since its debut nearly 30 years ago, the CR-V doesn’t lend itself to wholesale reinvention every few years. If anything, Honda has been happy to make tweaks here and there to keep the CR-V competitive. But with no shortage of rivals in this popular segment, the CR-V had fallen behind - not in comfort or competence, it remains one of the most refined choices in the class - but in infotainment tech and active safety features.
The incoming CR-V looks to turn that all around, starting with a fully revamped chassis - longer and slightly wider - that opens up a bit more interior room and possibly even improves handling (we won’t know until we’ve driven one). The new model looks brawnier and more adventure-ready, inspired by the Honda Ridgeline pickup and larger Honda Passport SUV, and the tech gets a significant upgrade with larger touchscreens, more advanced software, and features like wireless smartphone control. Hybrid models also get a power bump that now allows for towing loads of up to 1,000 pounds. That's not exactly diesel pickup capability, but it's noteworthy for a hybrid-powered CR-V.
The updates should place the CR-V back near the top of its class, with fuel economy comparable to the Toyota RAV4 and tech and infotainment to match the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sorento. It may not keep up with the athletic moves of the Mazda CX-5 or venture as deep off-highway as the Subaru Forester, but the new-generation Honda CR-V will certainly check plenty of boxes for many buyers.
Gas-powered 2023 Honda CR-Vs come with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional. The new CR-V’s peak low-end torque blooms earlier than before, making for improved engine and pedal response.
Sport and Sport Touring trims use a 2.0-liter gas engine augmented with dual electric motors for a combined 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. That’s a 15 lb-ft torque increase that allows the new model to tow up to 1,000 pounds. All-wheel drive is standard on the Sport Touring trim, optional on all others.
Among compact SUVs, the Mazda CX-5 offers the liveliest handling, followed by others like the Chevrolet Equinox and Volkswagen Tiguan. But changes to the CR-V’s structure, including a slightly longer and wider wheelbase, stiffer chassis, and retuned suspension parts, promise a sportier driving experience than before.

2023 car of the year 💯
Rookie editing mistake. Your video ends at 6min but you left black video for almost 3mins lol
Is this better than Kia telluride?
Lol yes Dave!. Blow those CVT's up 😆
The problem is it has no CVT, they called it e-cvt, not actually cvt as it has no transmission
Not really a cvt. More like a three speed. There is good info going into detail of the gearing, clutch packs and drive modes.
It'll only connect the engine to the wheels when under light throttle at highway speed, otherwise it's no different to the driver than any other CVT with fake shifting.
Electric CVT it's not a steel push belt Design, With a direct lock up for towing, Big difference, I'll take two. 🇺🇸👍
e cvt can be many things. Is called that because the general consumer ignorance, so the oblivious consumer can "understand". This crv doesn't even have a transmission, but two electric motors that require zero maintenance.
@@rafars2246 I am kind of grimacing when someone called for "zero maintenance", if it is too good to be true, probably it is? The e-cvt fluid is there for you to somewhat maintain it, that is the least you can do for this zero maintenance electric motors!
@@slothypunk there are other engagement components that require the so wrongly called ecvt fluid. But the electric motors are not working with fluids, and those electric motors act as "transmission". So you're completely wrong again.
@@rafars2246 who says? Is it you says I'm wrong or the whole ecvt? You are entitled to your opinion though but that doesn't mean you are right, that I know!
@@slothypunk I am right because I know what I'm talking about. You just read pamphlets. There's no transmission and there's no maintenance for the electric motors.
