    As the above table reveals, the upgraded SUV comes with two drivetrain options. The first is the familiar 1.5-litre 4-cylinder VTEC Turbo engine, delivering an impressive blend of power and efficiency. On the other hand, for those inclined towards an eco-friendly solution, there is a hybrid setup. This setup integrates an electric motor and a 2-litre 4-cylinder i‑VTEC mill, offering not only enhanced fuel efficiency but also a more environmentally conscious driving experience.

    New Honda CR-V

    Which Honda CR-V variant should you buy?

    The choice depends on what matters most to the buyer. The base-spec CR-V is a budget-friendly option without compromising on advanced features. However, the higher-spec E and V step up the game with a better equipment kit. The top-spec RS variant offers a stylish package with reduced environmental impact to those who are looking for a greener mobility option and has no budget constraint.
