The latest-generation 2023 Honda CR-V has arrived and been detailed for the U.S. market. It premieres with a rugged and sophisticated design and is available with a more advanced hybrid powertrain.

In crafting the exterior of the new SUV, Honda took inspiration from the Ridgeline and Passport TrailSport models, designing a more pronounced horizontal beltline and increasing the width by 0.4 inches. In addition, the 2023 CR-V is 2.7-inches longer and its wheelbase has grown by 1.6-inches but the most intriguing change is the repositioning of the A-pillars, so they now sit 4.7-inches further back, 2.8-inches more outward, and 1.4-inches lower. Honda has also shifted the wing mirrors to the doors.

Underpinning the 2023 CR-V is Honda’s enhanced global architecture which the automaker says creates a smoother ride and greater stability. It also benefits from a 15 per cent torsionally-stiffer body while revised MacPherson strut front suspension and variable-ratio steering improve feel and accuracy.

Powering the CR-V EX and EX-L models is an updated 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 190 hp and 179 lb-ft (243 Nm) of torque between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm. Mated to this engine is a CVT and all variants have Honda’s Rear Time AWD system.

In addition, hill descent control and a Snow driving mode are new for 2023. The all-wheel-drive system with an Intelligent Control System has also been updated.

The exterior design of the Honda CR-V has been beautified to perfection. The updated CR-V has a lower beltline than its predecessor. The entire front end has been redesigned as well, and it shows off a longer nose, a reshaped bumper, a fresh grille design, and aggressive, LED-topped headlights. For the 2023 model year, the CR-V is both longer and wider than the 2022 version. The interior design has also been refreshed. It introduces more high-quality materials and a sportier, modernized design throughout the cabin.
