The 2024 Honda CR-V sets the standards for what to expect from a modern crossover. It offers all the features you need in an SUV and adds innovations that set it apart in its class. Here are our top five innovations in the 2024 CR-V.

1. Hybrid Technology
The 2024 CR-V comes with an optional hybrid powertrain that’s a great step toward sustainability. It features a 2.0L four-cylinder engine paired with two powerful electric motors. This combo makes a total of 204 horsepower combined and comes with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The hybrid CR-V averages 40 miles per gallon in front-wheel-drive models. AWD models are rated for 37 mpg combined. If you’re not into hybrids, you can get the CR-V with the base 1.5L turbo-four engine that makes 190 horsepower.
2. Drive Modes
The CR-V’s drive mode system lets you tailor the performance to the road conditions or your preference. Gas-only models have three drive modes: ECON, Normal, and Snow. In ECON mode, the CR-V cuts back on the AC and limits throttle and fuel injection to save gas. Normal mode balances power and fuel efficiency.
Snow mode gives the wheels more grip on icy or snowy patches of road. It works great, especially if you have your winter tires. Hybrid models add Sport mode, which kicks up the throttle and engine response to give you more power.
3. Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock
Every CR-V has a Smart Entry system with Walk Away Auto Lock. It allows you to unlock the vehicle by just touching the door handle, as long as the key fob is nearby. When you’re done driving, turn off the ignition, step out, and close all the doors. The CR-V will lock the doors automatically after a few seconds.
4. Advanced Connectivity
The 2024 CR-V is packed with technology features. The base model is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen display with Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility. All hybrid trims except the Sport Hybrid have a larger 9-inch display. SiriusXM and HD Radio are optional.
Three USB-C ports are available to keep your devices charged up, and there’s a wireless charger in some hybrid models. The base model has a 4-speaker stereo system, and an 8-speaker system is optional. A Bose Premium sound system with 12 speakers is reserved for the Sport Touring Hybrid.
5. Advanced Safety Features
Honda Sensing comes standard in the CR-V, and it offers more safety features than the competition. It has these technologies to prevent accidents:
- Collision mitigation braking
- Road departure mitigation
- Lane departure warning
- Lane keeping assist
- Driver attention monitor
Traffic jam assist, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and auto high-beam headlights come as standard. Blind spot monitoring is an available add-on.
