Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

It was merely a matter of time until Honda hybridized its wildly popular CR-V. Everything we've come to expect and admire about the standard CR-V has been carried over. But, as smoothly as the 2021 CR-V Hybrid drives, its lackluster acceleration leaves us wishing for just a bit more grunt. Also it doesn't seem to have markedly better real-world fuel economy than the non-hybrid version.

Nice Ride

2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

The new Hybrid CRV we bought for my wife has been exactly what she wanted - comfortable ride, good storage capacity, very good mileage in town, nice look and easy to drive. The safety features are what sold us on it - all are smooth and feel totally under control - the lane keeper almost drives for you and the adjustments are easy. The only downside is the fuel economy on the highway. …

Impressive vehicle with everyday people

2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I have been shopping past two month hybrid suvs and narrowed between RAV4 hybrid and Honda CRV Hybrid. After maybe 10-12 most important comparisons I decided Honda CRV Hybrid EX-L model. My top reasons to pick this car over RAV4 hybrid; 1) both interior and exterior significantly better materials used. Honda CRV interior quality superb, clean, simple, easy to use and stylish. It’s like …

It is so quiet, smooth and has incredible MPG!

2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I leased this vehicle for my ministry/business and it was the best decision I have made regarding a fuel efficient, almost self-driving 5 person seating SUV that can go almost 600 miles on one tank of gas! As gas prices continue to escalate, I know that I am saving our ministry/business money everyday.

Picked up a lease for a great ride.

2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Very nice car to drive, easy and controlled driving experience, real world mpg is about 35 for me, mostly city. And I drive slow, so no way 40 is realistic. But, auto headlights, drive assist, backup camera, heated seats, sound system is nice. Only complaint is misleading mpg estimate.
