The e:PHEV is particularly well suited to drivers who can charge regularly at home or work, combining the convenience of electric motoring with the flexibility to undertake longer journeys.

Exceptional comfort and interior space

The Honda CR-V offers a spacious, premium interior, thoughtfully designed around the comfort of the driver and passengers. Generous rear legroom, high-quality materials and carefully considered details make it particularly well suited to family journeys and longer trips.

The elegant dashboard incorporates a 9-inch central infotainment screen and a 10.2-inch digital driver's display, putting essential information and controls within easy reach.

Designed around your comfort

Honda has paid particular attention to seating comfort, introducing its innovative Body Stabilising Seats for the front occupants.

These seats are designed to provide greater support for the pelvis and lower back, helping to reduce fatigue on longer journeys.

Other comfort features include:

  • Premium leather upholstery and carefully selected interior materials.
  • Heated front seats, with additional comfort features depending on grade.
  • Reclining rear seats with multiple adjustment positions.
  • A spacious, thoughtfully arranged cabin with practical storage.

  • CR-V e:HEV: up to 587 litres of boot space, depending on grade.
  • CR-V e:PHEV: 617 litres of boot space, with the rear seats in place.

The flexible rear seating and practical boot design make it easy to accommodate a wide variety of luggage and everyday essentials.

Confident and distinctive styling

The Honda CR-V combines a bold, commanding appearance with carefully considered aerodynamic design.

Its wide stance, distinctive front grille and sculpted bodywork create a confident road presence, while the clean lines and refined detailing give the CR-V a sophisticated appearance.

Both the full hybrid and plug-in hybrid models have their own distinctive grille treatments, complemented by stylish 18-inch alloy wheels.

Beyond appearance, Honda has carefully optimised the exterior design to improve airflow around and underneath the vehicle, contributing to stability, refinement and efficiency.

A refined and rewarding driving experience

The CR-V has been engineered to deliver a balance of comfort, responsiveness and confident handling.

Its strengthened body structure, carefully tuned suspension and precise steering help provide a composed driving experience, whether navigating town centres, travelling along country roads or covering longer motorway journeys.

Honda has also worked extensively to reduce noise and vibration, creating a quieter and more relaxing cabin.

Intelligent suspension and driving modes

The CR-V e:HEV features amplitude reactive dampers, designed to adjust their response to different road conditions, helping to balance ride comfort with stability.

The CR-V e:PHEV benefits from an adaptive damper system that adjusts suspension behaviour according to driving conditions and the selected driving mode.

Selectable driving modes allow the driver to tailor the vehicle's characteristics, including responses for more economical driving, improved performance and challenging conditions.

The e:PHEV also includes dedicated EV and Tow modes, providing additional flexibility when driving electrically or towing.

Advanced safety and connectivity

Technology plays an important role in making the CR-V safer, more convenient and enjoyable to drive.

The CR-V features Honda SENSING 360, Honda's advanced suite of driver assistance and safety technologies, designed to help the driver identify and respond to potential hazards around the vehicle.

Inside, Honda CONNECT provides access to entertainment, navigation and smartphone connectivity through the central touchscreen.

On the e:PHEV, connected services can also help drivers manage charging and prepare the cabin temperature before setting off, improving comfort and helping to make the most of the available electric range.
