Honda's hybrid system makes for a better, more fuel-efficient CR-V, but its real-world efficiency isn't best in class.
Already on sale in Europe and China, the 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid is the brand's first electrified SUV in the United States. It's expected to quickly become its best-selling hybrid. Read the full story here.
CR-V Hybrids are distinguished with blue Honda badges, three hybrid badges, and LED fog lights.
Every 2020 CR-V gets subtle yet effective updates to their front and rear fascias.
The CR-V Hybrid comes in four trim levels, although Honda expects only 10 percent of buyers to choose the base LX, which starts at $28,870.
At $37,070, the top-range Touring model is expected to account for 30 percent of the mix and is a solid value, undercutting a loaded RAV4 hybrid Limited by about $2000.
LX models wear 17-inch wheels, while the EX and EX-L get 18-inchers. The 19-inch wheels are exclusive to the Touring model.
Inside every 2020 CR-V is a redesigned center console with additional storage options. Hybrid models have a unique gauge cluster devoid of a tachometer.
As in the Accord hybrid, there's a battery cooling duct between the CR-V Hybrid's back seat and the right rear door.
Unfortunately, the hybrid model is equipped with the same dated infotainment system as other CR-Vs.
Honda's two-motor hybrid system combines an Atkinson-cycle 2.0-liter inline-four with two motor-generators and a relatively tiny 1.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
The hybrid system's combined output is 212 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, which is significantly more than the 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft you get from the conventional CR-V's turbocharged 1.5-liter four.
