The popular C-segment SUV will be offered with the choice of either a full hybrid (e:HEV) powertrain or, for the first-time on a European Honda, a plug-in hybrid (e:PHEV) option, delivering dynamic performance and efficiency across the range. This expanded powertrain line up represents Honda’s multi-pathway approach to electrification and offers customers a broad range of products. The familiar e:HEV powertrain has been revised and updated for the new CR-V, and now features a more energy-dense, downsized battery and more efficient motor, whilst the all-new e:PHEV, with its larger battery pack, offers up to 82km (51 miles) in all-electric range. Engineers have refined every aspect of the latest model with a focus on the advanced and sporty values of the Honda brand, while aiming to make the ultimate all-round SUV. Greater sophistication of driver aids, active safety, and connected technologies, as well as the application of high-quality materials throughout the cabin, all serve to elevate the vehicle proposition. Segment-leading levels of active safety have been achieved thanks to the first European application of Honda SENSING 360, the company’s comprehensive omnidirectional safety and driver assist system, which removes blind spots around the vehicle and further contributes to collision avoidance. The all-new CR-V retains its familiar silhouette, but with a design evolution that increases its road presence. This starts with the more aggressive, defined styling at the front, with a large aperture and stylized grille opening, where e:HEV and e:PHEV variants are distinguished by their own designs. At the rear, the vertical brake light and turn signal combination is a smart evolution of the model’s instantly recognisable taillight design, with the purposeful LED lighting creating a new, evolved light signature at the rear of the vehicle. Now with a longer wheelbase and wider stance, the CR-V offers spaciousness comparable to that of a D-segment SUV. Not only providing rear seat passengers with best-in-class leg room, the model’s larger proportions also create more boot space and increase stability at higher speeds. Honda introduces its first plug-in hybrid powertrain in the European region – the e:PHEV – on the all-new CR-V, offering 82km (51 miles) of all-electric range. Alongside the upgraded hybrid e:HEV model, customers can expect an exhilarating driving experience with greatly improved environmental performance, responsive power delivery and reduced cabin noise. Both options are built around the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder direct-injection Atkinson-cycle petrol engine, which has been revised for its application in the range topping SUV. Improvements include a high-pressure, multistage direct-injection fuel system, while a low-temperature activating, high-performance catalyst improves environmental performance. The exhaust port surface area has also been expanded to further improve power output, while an all-urethane engine cover, noise and vibration insulation, and increased rigidity of the crankshaft, all help further improve interior refinement. This latest iteration houses the propulsion motor and generator on a separate axis to allow for a 6.5% increase in torque to 335Nm without increasing design space. The former’s maximum motor speed has also been increased by 1,500rpm to 14,500rpm, resulting in a 7% higher top speed. The boost in power compared to the previous CR-V means a more assured acceleration feel and improved responsiveness, with 0-100 km/h (62mph) acceleration taking from just nine seconds for 2WD models and 9.4 seconds for AWD variants, before heading on to a top speed of 194km/h (121 mph) for 2WD, and 187 km/h (116 mph) for AWD models. Despite the gains in performance, the e:HEV system also offers increased levels of efficiency and a reduction in emissions with Combined CO2 as little as 134g/KM and just 5.9l/100km (40mpg) for 2WD models, and 151g/KM and 6.7l/100km (35 mpg) for the AWD.
