Refined 1.5-Liter Turbo Powertrain on EX and EX-L
The updated and refined direct-injected 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the hood of EX and EX-L grades demonstrates that even as Honda heads into the electrified era, the company continues to make important improvements in the efficiency and performance of its internal combustion engine technology.

Multiple enhancements to the 1.5-liter turbo provide a more refined driving experience and enhanced power delivery. Running on regular unleaded gas, the engine produces 190 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm (SAE net) and maintains peak power over a broader range at high revs than before. Its 179 lb.-ft. (SAE net) peak torque spans 1,700-5,000 rpm, arriving 300-rpm earlier than before for a more responsive feel.

VTEC variable valve timing is now used on the exhaust side of the twin-cam head. This helps improve exhaust efficiency and optimizing valve overlap, efforts that contribute to improved fuel efficiency.

The 6th generation of Honda's most popular SUV, the all-new 2023 Honda CR-V is perfect for daily life or weekend escapes, with a rugged and sophisticated design inside and out, a more spacious interior, increased utility and a more advanced hybrid system for a sportier driving experience.

Benefitting from longer and wider premium proportions and a significantly broader stance, CR-V further advances the new Honda design direction with a low horizontal beltline, a long, powerful front end and clean detailing. Its strong new looks are backed up by a more fun-to-drive personality, more confident, refined dynamics and increased power and capability.

The all-new 2023 CR-V is available in four trim levels, including the new hybrid-powered and even more boldly styled CR-V Sport and Sport Touring as the new top-of-the-line models in the CR-V lineup. With a new, more advanced hybrid-electric system, they offer the most fuel-efficient and sporty driving experience and serve as a key step in Honda's electrification strategy, eventually to represent up to 50% of CR-V's annual sales.

Inside, the new CR-V is quieter, more comfortable and more versatile, with the most cabin and cargo space ever in a CR-V. With premium, high-quality materials, upscale touches and improved visibility, CR-V's sporty, modern and spacious interior is a fresh take on Honda's new interior design direction, introduced with the 2022 Civic and found in the 2023 HR-V. The wide instrument panel features clean surfacing and a striking metal honeycomb mesh that conceals the air vents for an uncluttered and harmonious look. New front Body Stabilizing Seats reduce fatigue and improve posture.

Intuitive and intelligent technology also has been smartly integrated into the cabin. Standard features include a digital instrument display, a 7-inch touchscreen audio system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and USB charging ports for the driver and passenger. CR-V EX-L and Sport Touring feature a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration, plus wireless phone charging. For rear seat passengers, two charging ports are standard on Sport and Sport Touring.

CR-V comes standard with new and advanced active and passive safety technology to maintain its reputation as a leader in safety performance, including expanded and improved Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technology with a new front sensor camera and radar system. Next-gen front airbags, as well as new front knee and rear side-impact airbags, also are standard. An updated version of Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is designed to exceed current and future frontal crash tests, including oblique collisions.

The all-new 2023 CR-V and CR-V hybrid models are manufactured in three plants in Ohio, Indiana and Canada using domestic and globally-sourced parts, continuing the legacy of Honda's commitment to build products close to the customer. CR-V is America's best-selling crossover since 1997 and the best-selling Honda vehicle every year since 2017.
