Honda has just revealed the new CR-V 👀 With a bold new look, two hybrid options and larger dimensions, here's everything you need to know
The plug-in hybrid offers an electric range of 51 miles – enough, Honda says, for the SUV to be used as an EV for the majority of daily driving – and can be fully topped up in 2.5 hours at an 11kW charger.
The SUV was the first model in the Japanese brand's line-up to ditch pure-ICE power and its successor follows the same path in Europe, despite being launched in the US with an optional pure-petrol engine. hatchback: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine is teamed with a pair of electric motors for a combined 204bhp and 247lb ft - both slight increases – and a top speed of 115mph.
Honda claims the new CR-V is"more refined at highway speeds" and"more fun to drive", adding that the Linear Shift Control function will abate the often derided soundtrack of the CVT by altering engine revs to more closely mimic a conventional automatic. Like the Civic, the new CR-V sits atop Honda's latest global architecture, with an increase in wheelbase boosting ride quality and – together with a slightly widened track – stablility.
The body is said to be 15% stiffer, while the suspension and steering have been tuned for better handling and responsiveness.
