2023 Honda CR-V Levels Guide

In addition to being Honda’s best-selling vehicle in the United States, the CR-V is also a top seller in Canada. It has been confirmed that the new 2023 Honda CR-V, similar to the Toyota RAV4will be manufactured in Ontario, Canada. That’s right, the newest 2023 Honda CR-V is as Canuck as a CR-V gets!

You can expect the same great features and performance from the new CR-V that you have come to expect from prior models. Its design is based on the updated Ridgeline and Passport TrailSport, which are two of the company’s light trucks. This gives it a look that fits with the trend toward tough exteriors.

Summary

The 1.5 L four-cylinder engine has a more efficient turbocharger and exhaust ports, allowing a peak torque of 179 lb-ft to be reached at 300 rpm earlier. While its power may not wow, it provides sufficient acceleration for use on a daily basis. The Touring trim level’s 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque come courtesy of the hybrid drivetrain.

The interior of the CR-V was also completely overhauled, with many design cues taken from the Civic. For example, the CR-V now has the same three-knob climate control setup and elegantly hidden vents hidden behind a honeycomb-style grate in the centre of the dashboard.

The new CR-V has a more refined appearance. It is simpler for the driver to verify information at a glance and restore their focus to the road when the infotainment screen is mounted higher, the volume and tuning controls are tactile, and the menu structure is streamlined.

One may use the 2023 CR-V as an example of Honda’s commitment to continuous improvement as a design principle. Honda has always been known for its innovative storage solutions, and the console between the front seats is no exception. It can hold nine litres of your belongings. The air vents and metal honeycomb mesh panels across the dashboard are also Civic carryovers.

Both the LX and Sport packages Standard on the CR-V is a 7-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; on the EX-L and Touring, a 9-inch screen with wireless smartphone connectivity and a wireless phone charger are included.
