With more output and refinement, and a front-drive model with better fuel economy, how's the new CR-V Hybrid stack up?
The story was somewhat the same in our lateral-acceleration test. Both the 2023 turbo model and the previous Hybrid outperformed the new one . They were also quicker than the new Hybrid around our figure-eight"racetrack in a bottle" test; the new turbo lapped the course in 28.0 seconds versus 29.3 for the Hybrid. The new CR-V Hybrid's mass and weight bias certainly had something to do with how it performed on the track.
All 2023 CR-Vs feature a body that's 15 percent stiffer than previous models and a retuned suspension, according to Honda. Zipping through the canyons or cruising downtown, the new Hybrid feels settled and consistent, and its suspension provides tight body control and good cabin isolation. But it wasn't perfect. Over certain types of unmaintained, broken pavement, oscillations do come up through the chassis.
The CR-V's rear seat is now reclinable in eight positions and features new lower child-seat anchors that are easier to use. The front seats are also new, boasting new frames and cushioning that improve posture and stability. We can vouch that they are plenty comfortable. Safety improvements include a new body structure, next-generation airbags, and new camera and radar sensors for the vehicle's active driver assist features. The array of new sensors helps provide a wider field of vision and also informs the new traffic-sign recognition feature.
