Honda CR-V

Looking for an SUV that blends eco-friendly tech with style and comfort?

What is it?

The Honda CR-V is the flagship SUV in Honda’s lineup, representing the brand’s ambitious leap into electrification. As part of Honda’s push to produce over two million electric vehicles annually by 2030, the CR-V offers both hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options, showcasing the company’s commitment to a greener future. This model is designed to appeal to families looking for a spacious, practical, and tech-savvy SUV.

Styling?

The Honda CR-V makes a bold statement with its sleek and modern design. Its striking honeycomb grille, wrap-around headlights, and well-proportioned body give it a sophisticated yet commanding presence on the road. This SUV isn’t just about functionality—it’s also about turning heads. The exterior design reflects a perfect balance of style and substance, ensuring you arrive in style wherever you go.

Under the Bonnet?

Under the hood, the Honda CR-V offers two electrified powertrain options. You can choose between a full hybrid (e) or, for the first time in Europe, a plug-in hybrid (e) option. The PHEV variant features a 2-litre petrol engine paired with a 17.7kWh battery, delivering an electric-only range of around 82km. Honda claims impressively low emissions of just 18g/km and fuel consumption as low as 0.8l/100km with a fully charged battery. However, once the battery depletes, expect those numbers to rise significantly.

What about inside?

Step inside the CR-V, and you’ll find a cabin that blends practicality with a premium feel. The interior is spacious, with the latest model being bigger, longer, and wider, offering rear-seat passengers best-in-class legroom. The user-friendly infotainment system, complete with a responsive touchscreen and physical controls for heating and volume, ensures a hassle-free driving experience. The interior design focuses on comfort and ease of use, making long family trips more enjoyable.

On the Road?

On the road, the Honda CR-V delivers a smooth, composed driving experience. It’s not built for speed enthusiasts, but it excels in providing a comfortable, stress-free ride. Whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on the motorway the CR-V feels solid and reliable, effortlessly carrying the whole family with zero drama. It’s a good choice for those who prioritize comfort and practicality over performance thrills.

And Safety?

Safety is a strong point for the new Honda CR-V, being the first in Europe to feature Honda SENSING 360—a suite of passive and active safety systems. While it’s packed with tech designed to keep you safe, the intelligent speed assistance system still has some kinks to iron out, such as misreading speed limits. Despite these minor bugs, the CR-V offers robust safety features that add peace of mind for you and your passengers.

Will it break the bank?

The Honda CR-V comes with a premium price tag, starting from €67,995 for the base hybrid model. The PHEV version, available only in the top-tier Advance Tech trim, also starts at €67,995. While it’s on the pricier side, especially when compared to rivals like the Toyota RAV4 or Kia Sorento, the CR-V justifies its cost with advanced technology, a spacious interior, and the reliability Honda is known for.
