Honda CR-V

The sixth-generation Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Honda since 2022, replacing the fifth-generation CR-V. Like its predecessor, the sixth-generation CR-V is available in 5-seater and 7-seater configurations (the 7-seater configuration is not available on 6th-generation CR-Vs sold in the Americas, Japan, and Europe). The sixth-generation CR-V is based on the Honda Architecture (HA) platform shared with the eleventh-generation Civic. Aside from a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine option, the sixth-generation CR-V is available with three electrified powertrains globally, which are the 2.0-litre petrol with e:HEV/Hybrid power-split hybrid, 2.0-litre petrol with e:PHEV plug-in hybrid, and e:FCEV plug-in hybrid fuel cell.

Overview

The sixth-generation CR-V was officially unveiled on 12 July 2022. The prototype design and production process was done in Ontario, Canada before being shared to all Honda plants worldwide. Mass production of the sixth-generation CR-V started off at Honda's Canadian plant in Ontario in September 2022, with U.S. plants started its production shortly at a later date. The sixth-generation CR-V is 69 mm (2.7 in) longer, with a 40 mm (1.6 in) longer wheelbase. The second-row seats received 15 mm (0.6 in) more legroom and can also recline up to 10.5 degrees. Similar to the eleventh-generation Civic, Honda opted for a longer hood for visual reasons by moving the A-pillars rearward by 119 mm (4.7 in). The base of the A-pillars has also been moved 71 mm (2.8 in) outward and sit 35.6 mm (1.4 in) lower than the previous CR-V. Mechanical revisions compared to the preceding generation include a stiffer front subframe and repositioned steering rack to improve feel and accuracy. The rear subframe also gets stiffened to support the retuned multi-link suspension which features a 15 percent higher spring rate for the upper spring mount. The optional all-wheel drive system (marketed as Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System), is capable of sending 50 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels for improved traction in slippery conditions such as in snow and mud. For the first time, the CR-V features a hill descent control system that increases off-road capability with more control on steep, slippery declines and drivers can select speeds under 19 km/h (12 mph). Three electrified versions of the CR-V are available globally, which are e:HEV power-split hybrid (marketed simply as Hybrid in North America), e:PHEV plug-in hybrid, and e:FCEV plug-in hybrid fuel cell. The e:HEV/Hybrid was
