5 reasons you should opt for the 2023 Honda CR-V, available in Canada

The Honda CR-V is amongst the most popular of its category, and with reason! Now in its sixth generation, it stays fresh by focusing on the strengths it offers and that have already made it so popular amongst buyers, while also –and finally- adding a hybrid version.

Honda Laval presents the 2023 CR-V’s 5 main strengths, in Canada, that will knock you off your feet!

Its hybrid model

This sports utility vehicle was already greatly appreciated for its exceptional fuel consumption numbers for a vehicle of its category. But, for 2023, it takes this a step further. In fact, the Japanese automobile manufacturer brings an all-new hybrid version to the table!

It is equipped with a 2.0 L 4- cylinder engine that is combined with two electric motors; this powertrain works together harmoniously to provide you with 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft. maximum torque!

Fuel consumption numbers have yet to be revealed, though estimates are claiming that they will be, in average, 5.9 L/100 km. To give you a clearer idea, the 4WD version’s fuel consumption numbers are 8.4 L/100 km, while the 2WD is 7.8.

All in all, these numbers are still excellent for a compact fuel vehicle, although those who prefer the hybrid version of the CR-V will greatly enjoy this improvement. In fact, the hybrid powertrain is only offered on the Touring, the highest-end trim level.

That is the only downside pointed out by critics about the all-new 2023 CR-V, now available in Canada. However, if you are willing to spend a little bit more, this trim level will well be worth your money. You can already shop for your new 2023 CR-V hybrid SUV with your dealership in Laval!

A spacious and comfortable interior

On top of the stunning esthetic changes, the Honda SUV exterior also –and mostly- presents you with new dimensions. In fact, total length is now 68.6 mm longer; wheel-base also gains 40.66 mm in length as well. The result? A more spacious interior of course!

As we have mentioned, the manufacturer has chosen to focus on enhancing the already existing strengths. Interior space was already one of them, and is even greater now with this version! Passengers –and mostly those in the second row- will enjoy more legroom and greater space in general.

Comfort has also been enhanced with standard features like dual zone air conditioning and heated front seats. Moreover, rear passengers also enjoy heated seats from the EX-L trim level on!

When it comes to cargo space, you will have guessed it: it is more generous as well! The trunk alone can welcome up to 1,113 liters of cargo and when rear seats are folded, you can now enjoy up to a maximum of 2,166 liters.

An even more connected CR-V

A standard equipment, the all-new CR-V integrates numerous infotainment functions like:

• A 7- inch touch screen
• A hand’s free system
• Bluetooth connectivity
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility

Higher trim levels offer even more technologies and amenities, including a 9- inch screen, a wireless charging system and Wi-Fi connectivity.

As we have previously mentioned, the Touring hybrid version is the most advanced of all, with technologies such as:

• A navigation system with voice recognition
• A 12- speaker Bose sound system
• 4 USB ports (2 at the front, 2 at the back)

Driver Assist Technologies

These days, we can no longer talk about technologies without mentioning Driver Assist technologies; and on that note, Honda is quite generous. The Honda Sensing package includes loads of standard safety features such as:

• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)
• Rear Cross Traffic Monitor
• Blind Spot Information
• And so much more!

In short, this crossover is both more enjoyable and safer to drive than ever before!

Several Trim Level options

Whether you are trying to respect a limited budget or you are looking for the most comfortable and high-tech trim level, the 2023 CR-V has one for every taste. As an entry-level option you will have access to both versions of the LX, either 2WD or 4WD.

Then, the Sport trim level stands out with a gloss black radiator grille and 18- inch black wheels, on top of adding several comfort features like an 8- way power driver’s seat.

Then, the EX-L adds a certain level of luxury, like with seats with perforated leather trims and a driver’s seat with memory function, and so does the Touring hybrid trim level as well. This last one does represent the cream of the crop in terms of trim levels and boasts a unique style with interior orange contrasting trims.
