2023 Honda CRV

The 2023 Honda CR-V is available in three trims: LX, EX, and EX-L. Thanks to the overhaul, the SUV has a longer wheelbase and wider stance compared to the outgoing model. It also has a wider and more upright windshield, which enhances outward vision. A manual liftgate is standard, but you can opt for a hands-free power one. Other standard features include 17-inch wheels and LED headlights, while you can add a sunroof, fender flares, and running boards.

Don't let the fact that the 2023 Honda CR-V has one engine option deter you from considering it because this engine provides plenty of power. It's a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while all-wheel drive is available.

Once you get behind the wheel, you'll realize how easy the 2023 Honda CR-V is to drive. Its fine-tuned suspension makes the ride smooth and comfortable. Another new feature is hill descent control, which comes standard with both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive systems. You can set the vehicle to a slower speed when navigating a downward slope. Also, when the SUV is properly equipped, it has a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds.

A two-row SUV that seats five people, the 2023 Honda CR-V has an airy cabin with plenty of legroom and headroom for travelers across both rows. It has one of the most spacious cargo areas in its class, with 39.3 cubic feet of space behind the second row, and this space increases to 76.5 cubic feet once you fold down those seats.

The SUV has one of the most user-friendly infotainment systems available in its class. You can access this system via the standard 7-inch or available 9-inch touchscreen display. Other standard features include a Wi-Fi hotspot, USB port, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. If you want additional features, you can add HD and satellite radio, extra USB ports, wireless smartphone charging, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The automaker didn't skimp when it comes to safety, which is why every 2023 Honda CR-V comes equipped with several standard driver-assistance features, many of which are part of the Honda Sensing Suite. These features include adaptive cruise control, forward automatic emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition, and automatic high-beam headlights. It also includes road departure mitigation, which is designed to prevent you from drifting by providing steering assistance. Front and rear parking sensors are an available option.
