Overview
The 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid contains a compact SUV stalwart, which amplifies everything we love about the standard model. This model offers quicker acceleration and better fuel economy. With its 204-horsepower gasoline-electric powertrain, the CR-V Hybrid is a compelling choice, sacrificing only a modicum of cargo space for its hybrid battery.
Price
Priced from $35,400 to $41,550, the 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid offers exceptional value across its trim levels. We recommend the front-wheel-drive Sport-L, which provides a luxury-esque level of features and amenities, including leather seats and a power passenger seat.
Engine and Transmission
The CR-V Hybrid’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine pairs with two electric motors, producing 204 horsepower. This smooth, quiet, and satisfying combination propels the Sport Touring Hybrid to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds. While not particularly quick, the CR-V Hybrid provides a smooth ride and enough moxie to avoid being boring.
Dimensions and Interior
Inside, the CR-V Hybrid boasts a spacious, logically laid out, and comfortable interior. With plenty of space to stretch out, nice materials, and a honeycomb-texture trim, the cabin is a pleasant place to spend time. The cargo area holds 11 carry-on suitcases with the second-row seats in place, expanding to 29 suitcases with seats folded.
Performance
The CR-V Hybrid’s composed ride and confident handling make it a joy to drive. While lacking the handling thrills of rivals like the Mazda CX-50, it provides enough responsiveness to stay engaging. Towing capacity is rated at 1000 pounds with optional towing accessories.
Fuel Economy
The CR-V Hybrid excels in fuel efficiency, with EPA estimates of 43 mpg city and 36 mpg highway for front-wheel-drive models. Real-world testing yielded 31 mpg on the highway for the all-wheel-drive Sport Touring Hybrid.
Conclusion
The 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid is a phenomenal compact SUV, offering versatility, practicality, and style. With its impressive features, spacious interior, and excellent fuel economy, it’s an ideal choice for big families or adventures with lots of people.
