The Honda CR-V is a familiar sight on roads all around the world. Easily the Japanese firm’s best-selling new car, it has been around in various guises for three decades and counting. This sixth generation model was introduced in 2023 and is available in plug-in hybrid guise (the e:PHEV) alongside the regular e:HEV hybrid petrol version. The diesel CR-V has long since disappeared.
With a decent 17.7kWh battery, it has a theoretical EV range of 50 miles. Although you’re unlikely to see this in everyday driving, it still delivers a decent amount of all-electric miles. A 2.0-litre engine then takes over, and it’s all driven through a clever dual electric motor e-CVT automatic gearbox.
