What Can You Expect From the 2023 CR-V?
This year, we celebrate the sixth generation of the acclaimed Honda CR-V, and if you’re wondering what’s different about it, buckle up—it’s about to be an exciting ride. This compact SUV is one of the most popular SUVs on the road, loved by families, daily drivers, adventurers, and so many others, with a level of practicality and functionality that can’t be beaten. At Future Honda, we’re a trusted Honda dealer to work with when you have the CR-V on your mind, with plenty of models to choose from, all for prices that meet any budget. When it comes to what’s new with this iconic Honda model, the 2023 Honda CR-V has plenty of tricks hidden beneath its fenders to make your ride more riveting than ever before.
A Bolder Build
The 2023 CR-V will immediately captivate you with its larger build, enhancing its presence on the highway to new heights. It showcases a longer wheelbase and a wider design, allowing it to accommodate more inside and offer a sturdier ride outside. Its athleticism is exhibited through its gloss-black grille and prominent front fascia, which stops you in your tracks, while LED lighting accentuates it, providing a brilliant stare. Its sporty roofline delivers the level of excitement you’re looking for, and with available roof rails, a trailer hitch, running boards, and more rugged features, venturing out for a day in the wilderness is easy when the CR-V is involved.
This larger design also impacts its interior cabin, providing even more space for all its occupants to enjoy the ride and having room for all of their travel belongings. A 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support helps to provide an immense level of comfort on board, while heated seats and a heated steering wheel maximize comfort during chilly morning commutes.
Up to 76.5 cu.ft. of cargo space comes in handy when loading up your CR-V with gear, and with a low and wide cargo opening, accessing your cargo hold is easier inside this Honda crowd pleaser. Configurable seating elements, by way of split-folding seats, enhance the space inside the CR-V like never before, allowing you to handle anything in the new CR-V. Its bolder design adds intimidating style to this practical SUV and elevates convenience, making for an all-around better ride in this celebrated Honda SUV.
A Tuned-Up Powertrain
Its 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine has also been enhanced to feature a more confident ride. With favorable responsiveness and outstanding efficiency, this engine is capable of helping you travel anywhere with absolute agility. Producing 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque, the CR-V cascades to its next destination with ease, and with the ability to tow up to 1,500 lbs, pulling your small camper or trailer out into the wilderness for the weekend is simple. Efficiency is the name of the game for this Honda staple, getting up to 28 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, which is perfect for those who frequently travel for work or need to navigate dense traffic daily.[a]
Better acceleration, enhanced efficiency, and improved handling can be expected in the 2023 CR-V, which makes this compact SUV even better than its predecessors. Its continuously variable transmission has also been revitalized to provide an even smoother ride. With the ability to effortlessly navigate around the twists and turns of the road, take on highway traffic with confidence, and provide stable and accurate steering and braking, the experience you’ll have inside the CR-V is absolutely mesmerizing. Now more than ever, the Honda CR-V can provide a level of engineering you’d expect to find in a much more expensive vehicle, allowing the 2023 CR-V to continue being a fan-favorite model in the Honda lineup.
Advanced All-Wheel Drive
Another enhancement in the 2023 Honda CR-V is its available all-wheel drive system. Real Time AWD with an Intelligent Control System comes to the rescue when you’re maneuvering through bad weather conditions or bumpy terrain, giving you the ultimate assurance that your vehicle can handle the elements. This system provides you with enhanced cornering, increased traction, and a level of stability that’s unrivaled. Sending power to the rear wheels when needed, this AWD system instantly takes the reins when it senses the steering wheel slipping, allowing you to harness complete control over your drive, regardless of the terrain beneath your tires.
Hill Descent Control is handy when the terrain becomes a bit steep, helping you harness maximum control in these difficult environments. A three-mode drive system featuring Snow and ECON modes helps make any terrain more manageable, and with its sturdier build, you won’t have to worry about whether or not you’ve got what it takes to handle the elements. It’ll be given in the 2023 CR-V. When looking for unmatched safety and control, no matter where you’re traveling, the all-wheel drive capabilities in the CR-V will be there for you no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.
Technologically Enhanced
If you assumed that the next generation of the CR-V would include even more impressive tech, you’d be correct. The 2023 Honda CR-V comes with larger touchscreen options and an arsenal of features designed to make your time on the road enjoyable and safe. A 7-inch or 9-inch touchscreen display can be found on its list of tech features, delivering access to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, smart shortcuts, and more. An available wireless charger can also be found to keep your devices charged up for the ride, while multiple USB ports come in handy for your passengers as well. HondaLink makes any drive easier, with the ability to locate your CR-V, start the engine, set the temperature, and more right from your smartphone.
In addition to helpful connectivity tech, the 2023 Honda CR-V is also designed with safety in mind. Honda Sensing comes standard across all trim levels, which provides access to an assortment of high-level safety features to keep you and your passengers secure on any roadway. Blind Spot Monitoring now comes standard, as well as Traffic Sign Recognition and a Rear Seat Reminder so that you don’t leave your valuables behind once you exit the vehicle. A Multi-Angle Rear View Camera is another helpful tool, providing you with various viewpoints to help you back up safely, even in busy environments. Plus, with Walk Away Auto Lock, automatically locking your doors when you walk away, you won’t have to worry about securing your vehicle when you arrive at your destination.
