Check out the Expert Rating below to get our test team's full report on the new CR-V's performance, utility and more. It's a recommended pick alongside other all-stars such as the value-packed Kia Sportage, stylish Mazda CX-50 and evergreen Toyota RAV4. Overall, we're pleased with how the 2023 CR-V turned out. The CR-V's regular engine, a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder, continues unchanged. But it can still be noisy at times, and our as-tested real-world fuel economy was underwhelming. Honda has revised the hybrid this year, and we've found it provides slightly quicker acceleration and better overall road manners. The CR-V's top trim levels now simply come with the hybrid system as standard. Interestingly, Honda isn't marketing a "CR-V Hybrid" anymore. Notably, the hybrid version of the CR-V is no longer at a deficit compared to the regular model they both now offer a substantial maximum of 39.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats or 76.5 cubic feet with the rear seats lowered. The wheelbase has been stretched 1.6 inches, giving the new CR-V even more rear legroom than before. Size matters even in a compact SUV, so it's no surprise that Honda has made this new generation larger than its predecessor.
