Honda CR-V vs HR-V 2023: Reliable Honda SUV duo

It is the showdown between the Honda SUVs: the 2023 Honda CR-V versus the new Honda HR-V. Both excellent SUVs, yet different from one another!

Your Honda dealer in Montréal presents you these two vehicles, their engines, their interiors and their prices, so you can make an informed choice.

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:

• A 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.
