2023 Honda CR-V

The 2023 Honda CR-V has a longer wheelbase and wider stance than previous versions, giving it an aggressive yet elegant stance. On the EX, this distinctive design gets a boost from full LED headlamps and intricately designed alloy wheels measuring 18 inches. On the Sport Hybrid, you'll find sleek roof rails and dual exhaust finishers with a chrome finish. With the EX-L, you can take advantage of a power-deployable tailgate, while the Sport Touring Hybrid's tailgate offers hands-free access. This top trim also features gloss-black alloy wheels measuring 19 inches. Captivating colors like Urban Gray, Still Night, and Radiant Red add the perfect finishing touch.

Pop open the EX's hood, and you'll find a 190-horsepower, in-line four-cylinder engine that generates 179 pound-feet of torque. This engine also features in the EX-L. The Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid come equipped with a 145-horsepower, in-line four-cylinder engine that puts out 179 pound-feet of torque. An electric motor also features in these models, generating 181 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque. Together, the four-cylinder engine and electric motor produce 204 horsepower. While the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid combine power and hybrid efficiency, the EX and EX-L are also quite efficient, thanks to Honda's innovative fuel-saving technology.

With the 2023 CR-V, you'll enjoy smooth acceleration and straightforward handling each time you take the wheel, thanks to the continuously variable transmission (CVT) that features in the EX and EX-L. The Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid feature an electronic CVT that enables the same capabilities while adding B-Range shift and deceleration selectors. Lower trim levels come equipped with a two-wheel-drive system that makes it easy to zip around busy city streets and conquer tight corners. With the Sport Touring Hybrid, you'll enjoy a real-time all-wheel-drive system that can automatically adjust torque for all four wheels, based on changes in terrain and weather.

In addition to an exterior makeover, the CR-V gets an interior refresh with a minimalist layout and expansive sightlines, giving you a greater connection to your surroundings. The CR-V also gets an expanded cargo area and brand-new body-stabilizing front seats. Depending on which trim level you choose, you'll enjoy such amenities as luxurious leather upholstery, a power-operated driver's seat with 10-way adjustability, and a premium sound system from Bose. Every CR-V comes equipped with a smartphone-compatible infotainment system.

The 2023 Honda CR-V protects your most precious cargo with a collision mitigation braking system that issues audio and visual warnings when it senses an imminent collision. The system will apply the brakes if you can't react in time. A road departure mitigation system prevents unintentional drifting, while a blind-spot monitor helps you make safer lane changes. You can also take advantage of a cross-traffic monitor that makes it safer to drive in reverse.
