2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid Review

Honda CR-V Hybrid MPG

Make use of the CR-V efficiency with its achievement of an EPA-estimated 40 city/35 highway MPG for hybrid trims.¹ With its 2.0L DOHC i-VTEC® Atkinson-cycle engine with electric motor, you’ll generate 181 horsepower with 232 lb-ft of torque. The Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT) comes with Sport Mode.

To build on that efficiency, the 3-Mode Drive System supplies you with ECON, Sport, and EV drive modes. ECON improves your fuel efficiency while Sport amps up your engine performance. Choose EV, and it runs on the electric motor solo. You can boost your battery with regenerative braking that charges it when you take your foot off the accelerator.

Three CR-V Hybrid trim levels—Hybrid EX, Hybrid EX-L, and Hybrid Touring—provide you with multiple choices for what you want in your car. Select available leather-trimmed seating to cover the heated front seats and pair with the optional heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Keep the cabin at the perfect temperature for both you and your front passenger individually with the Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System. Or capture a fresh breeze from the moonroof as you sink into the 12-way power seat.

The CR-V fulfills your need for ample space with 102.9 cubic feet of passenger volume. We’ll go into detail on the interior dimensions below:

For your CR-V Hybrid, a hybrid-focused Driver Information Interface rests behind the wheel and can let you know how your car is fairing.

Honda CR-V Safety Features

Every CR-V comes with the Honda Sensing® suite of safety systems that features Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, for example. Your CR-V also contains the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System to let pedestrians know that you’re in their path.

Use the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera to help you exit out of a space with Dynamic Guidelines. You’ll also get a Blind Spot Monitoring System with Cross Traffic Monitor to keep a watch on tough-to-see areas. If your vehicle senses you’re exhibiting a lane drifting pattern, the driver attention monitor on the main interface gives you a nudge to pay attention.
