Honda CR-V and HR-V Engines

The CR-V and the HR-V each have a different gasoline engine, available in all versions of the vehicle.

Here’s a table that quickly compares the performance of these two engines:

In addition, the CR-V is available as the 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid, which comes with a hybrid version of the 4-cylinder engine found in the HR-V interior.

This engine develops a combined output of 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of combined torque. It has a fuel efficiency of 6.0 L/100 km in the city and 6.9 L/100 km on the highway.


Cargo Volume of the 2023 Honda HR-V and Honda CR-V

Cargo volume is another important element when comparing the two SUVs. First, in terms of overall dimensions, the CR-V is a larger vehicle than its little brother. This extra space is put to good use, as it also offers better cargo volume.

The Honda HR-V offers 691 L of space with the seats up. By lowering the seats, you can get a volume of 1,559 L. The CR-V, on the other hand, has a volume of 1,113 L and 2,166 L respectively. The CR-V Hybrid is slightly less spacious, offering volumes of 1,028 L and 2,030 L. In short, if you are looking for utility space inside your vehicle, Honda’s SUVs will certainly meet your needs.

Also, the HR-V’s smaller size is something you might prefer for city driving. In fact, its trunk, spacious for its size, is something that often comes up in Honda HR-V reviews.


Honda HR-V and CR-V On-Board Technologies

The CR-V and HR-V share several common elements in their respective list of on-board technologies, such as:

  • A standard 7-inch center screen, as well as an optional 9-inch screen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • Heated front seats, etc.


However, higher trim levels of the CR-V offer additional options like:

  • 12-speaker Bose premium stereo system
  • An 8-way power driver’s seat with memory positions
  • 4-way power passenger seat
  • And much more!


If you opt for a base model, the HR-V and CR-V cabins are quite similar, which is very impressive for the HR-V, considered a more budget-friendly model.

Furthermore, the higher versions of the CR-V like the Touring Hybrid model achieve a very impressive level of technology for their price.

Which SUV to buy in 2023? Whether you pick the Honda HR-V and CR-V, you won’t go wrong with your choice! Depending on your needs, you’ll find the one that perfectly meets your expectations.
