Thus, the car is equipped with a modified radiator grille, new bumpers with chrome inserts, different fog lights, and an updated exhaust system.
Also, the car is equipped with wireless charging, an upgraded multimedia system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, advanced navigation, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen display. Also available are: remote engine start system, dual-zone climate control, USB ports for rear passengers, and heated front passenger seat. In addition, the CR-V is available with the proprietary Honda Sensing safety suite, which includes adaptive cruise control, active collision mitigation braking system, lane keeping assist, and blind spot monitoring system.
Also, for the first time in the US, the Honda CR-V has received a hybrid version. This modification previously went on sale in Europe. The powertrain of the new model includes a two-liter gasoline engine working in conjunction with an electric motor. In total, the units produce 215 hp and 315 Nm of torque. The crossover offers three driving modes: combined, exclusively on electric power, and only using the internal combustion engine. In the hybrid's cabin, the standard gear shift lever has been replaced by a push-button selector.
The company claims that the crossover has received a "smart" mode switching system that ensures maximum fuel economy. Thus, when driving at moderate speeds, the electric motor operates for more than half of the entire trip, while when driving on a highway, it engages less frequently. The Honda CR-V will be available for purchase with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
The base engine of the updated Honda CR-V is a 1.5-liter gasoline engine. The power of the unit is 193 hp, 243 Nm of torque. The engine works in conjunction with a CVT.
