Honda CR-V 2.0 eHEV Advance 5dr eCVT Review

The model
Read full Honda CR-V reviewThe Honda CR-V has sharp driving dynamics and lots of standard equipment, but it falls short of claiming the top spot in the family SUV class because it's noisy on motorways and has limited rear head room. We think the e:HEV version in Elegance trim makes the most sense for private buyers, while the e:PHEV plug-in hybrid is the one to go for if you're a company car users.
The trim
See full equipmentThis is the top trim for the e:HEV engine and it gets extra equipment to boot. Highlights include adaptive full beam LED headlights, electric memory front seats, a head-up display, heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats.
The engine
See full engine specsWith a total of 181bhp and instant shove off the line, the regular hybrid version offers decent pace for a big family SUV. It's also fairly efficient, managing almost 43mpg officially. It's our pick for private buyers.
