OVERVIEW
Inside and exterior, the 2023 Honda CR-Vis completely redesigned to compete in the fiercely competitive compact-SUV market. The new CR-V promises to offer even more of its renowned practicality with bigger proportions and additional passenger room. Modern technology is used to enhance its appealing interior design, which includes an infotainment system with a standard 9.0-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Every CR-V, of course, comes with a variety of standard driver assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assistance. The basic engine is a 190-hp turbo-four; a 204-hp hybrid powertrain is an option. With either front- or all-wheel drive, both are compatible. Honda claims that the 2023 CR-V offers a more exciting and polished driving experience, but we won't know for sure until we've driven one.
WHAT’S NEW ON 2023 CR-V?
The sixth generation of the small SUV begins with the 2023 CR-V. It brings a plethora of changes, including increased size overall, new exterior appearance, and a roomier interior with more upscale features. Honda claims to have updated the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), all-wheel-drive system, and standard turbo-four engine to make them more fast and efficient when compared to the outgoing model. Wider front and rear tracks, tougher structural components, and improved suspension tuning are believed to improve the handling and ride of the new CR-V
PRICING
For 2023, Honda streamlines the CR-V offering into just four trim levels. Models EX and EX-L can only run on gas. Only the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid offer hybrid drivetrains. Although prices have not yet been disclosed, we anticipate the 2023 CR-V to cost between $29,000 and $39,000.
ENGINE , TRANSMISSION AND PERFORMANCE
A basic 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower is located behind the CR-vertical V's grille. It partners with either front- or all-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The EX and EX-L models come standard with this configuration. The hybrid powertrain, which combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors to provide 204 horsepower, is the only one available for the Sport and Sport Touring. While the Sport Touring comes standard with all-wheel drive, the Sport is available with either. Every CR-V has hill-descent control, which helps regulate the small SUV's speed when moving at moderate speeds down steep or slick inclines. Most models come with a pair of 18-inch wheels, with the Sport getting black ones. Exclusive 19-inch wheels that are likewise painted black are provided for the Sport Touring. For the first time, hybrid cars are rated to tow 1,000 pounds.
INTERIOR AND CARGO CAPACITY
The honeycomb-textured insert that covers the majority of the dash and subtly conceals the air vents is a feature of the CR-elegant V's interior design. With an analog speedometer and a 7.0-inch display that enables the driver to switch between several informational menus, the gauge cluster is partially digital and is framed by the steering wheel. According to Honda, the new CR-revised V's driving posture and front seats are intended to reduce driver tiredness on lengthy travels. There is a sizable center console bin between the front-seat occupants, and behind them are reclining back seats with an increase in rear legroom of 0.6 inches over the previous CR-V. Behind the second row, there is 36 cubic feet of cargo capacity; on gas-only models, with the adjustable load floor in the lowest setting, there is 39 cubic feet.
CONECTIVITY
The EX and Sport trim levels of the CR-V have 7.0-inch touchscreens that control the infotainment system. Physical volume and tuning knobs, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto are all included in the arrangement. The 9.0-inch touchscreen on the EX-L and Sport Touring models has cordless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The larger display lacks a tuning knob, but it does have a volume control for the integrated navigation system, two USB-C connections for the passengers in the backseat, and wireless smartphone charging. The top-tier CR-V Sport Touring must be purchased if you want the 12-speaker Bose audio system.
SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE
Every 2023 Honda CR-V is outfitted with a ton of standard driver-assistance technologies. The tiny SUV now includes a driver attention monitor, traffic sign recognition, and a backseat reminder in addition to the already standard blind-spot monitoring. Visit the websites of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for more details regarding the CR-crash V's test results. Important safety elements include:
standard automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning
Lane-departure warning and standard lane-keeping assistance
conventional adaptive cruise control
WARRANTY AND MAINTANANCE COVERAGE
The limited and powertrain warranties for the CR-V are not particularly noteworthy. Both offer coverage periods that are comparable to those of most rivals. On the other hand, Honda will begin providing free planned maintenance for cars starting in 2023, which we anticipate would include the new CR-V.
Three years or 36,000 miles are covered by the limited warranty.
Five years or 60,000 miles are covered by the powertrain warranty.
Free routine maintenance is anticipated to last for two years or 24,000 miles.
