The Honda CR-V has been updated! With it comes an upgraded hybrid powertrain and a design refresh - check out all the details on Autocar
It's coming up to six years since the current, fifth-generation CR-V was revealed, although it has been on sale in the UK for only five years.
The SUV was the first model in the Japanese brand's line-up to ditch pure-ICE power, and its successor will follow suit in Europe, despite being launched in the US with an optional pure-petrol engine. hatchback, which is now on its way to dealerships, but similar in its conception to that of the outgoing CR-V.
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 oft-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.
