Predecessor | Honda CR-V (fifth generation) |
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 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 powertrain 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.
The sixth-generation CR-V was officially unveiled on 12 July 2022. [4] The prototype design and production process was done in Ontario, Canada before being shared to all Honda plants worldwide. [5] 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. [6]
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. [7] 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. [4]
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 hill descent control system increases off-road capability with more control on steep, slippery declines and drivers can select speeds under 19 km/h (12 mph). [4]
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 available since the model's introduction, which uses a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine and e-CVT working with one or two electric motors and a 1.06 kWh lithium-ion battery for a total system output of 152 kW (204 hp; 207 PS). [8] The CR-V e:PHEV debuted in China in April 2023 and has been exported to Europe. It is supplemented with a larger 17.7 kWh lithium-ion battery. [9] [10] The CR-V e:FCEV was unveiled in February 2024 at the H2 & FC Expo in Japan to be produced in the U.S. for the U.S. and Japan markets. [11]
A diesel engine option, previously available for the outgoing CR-V in some markets such as Europe, Thailand and the Philippines is no longer available. [12]
Unlike previous generations, the model is not offered in Japan (except for the low-volume CR-V e:FCEV since 2024) due to low sales of the fifth-generation model, and it was indirectly replaced by the smaller ZR-V. [13]
In February 2024, Honda unveiled the CR-V e:FCEV in the U.S. It is a plug-in hybrid electric, fuel cell version of the CR-V that is equipped with an front-mounted electric motor, two high-pressure hydrogen tanks with a total capacity of 4.3 kg (9.5 lb), a 17.7 kWh battery with plug-in charging capability, it has an EPA estimated driving range of 435 km (270 mi) and battery electric range of 47 km (29 mi). [14] Compared to the regular CR-V, the e:FCEV model features a different front fascia, clear lenses for the taillights and e:FCEV badging. [15] The CR-V e:FCEV commenced production at the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) plant in Marysville, Ohio on June 5, 2024. For the US market, the e:FCEV model is available only through leasing and its availability is limited to the state of California. [16] Honda will include hydrogen fuel credits as part of the lease agreement. [17]

[18]
The Canadian model is offered in LX, Sport, EX-L, and Touring trims, with the Touring having the hybrid powertrain. The Canadian Sport trim is largely identical to the U.S. gas-only EX albeit for cosmetic differences. [19] All variants come standard with all-wheel drive, although the base LX is also offered with front-wheel drive. [20] For the 2024 model year, a EX-L hybrid trim (identical to the U.S. Sport-L) was added whose price slots under the Sport Touring. For the 2025 model year, the gas-only EX-L trim has been dropped.
