Honda CR-V Hybrid

Honda completely redesigned the CR-V Hybrid for 2023 and added new standard safety features and more comfort. Along with more dynamic styling and an improved all-wheel-drive system, the automaker added a stronger hybrid powertrain. Some of the popular SUVs improvements come as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety continues to beef up its crash test standards. The CR-V features an updated body structure designed to better deflect crash energy and improve occupant protection during a variety of different types of collisions, as well as more airbags and more standard active safety and driver assistance features, including a driver attention monitoring system and a rear seat reminder.

The CR-V Hybrid is one of the better models among small SUVs, thanks to its roomy cabin, excellent fuel economy, competent handling and standard safety features. It returns a splendid 35 mpg overall. The continuously variable transmission is largely unobtrusive. Handling is nimble and sure-footed. The ride has a firm edge to it. Road noise is well-suppressed, and the cabin is reasonably quiet.
