There's an all-new version of the Honda_UK CR-V, which features a new look, new interior and new hybrid tech. But how does it compare with the best rivals? We've been finding out:
You get the same 181bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and electric motor in the e:PHEV as you do in the e:HEV, but the small battery has been replaced by a much larger 17.7kWh one.
It’s not all about efficiency, though, and the e:PHEV feels nice and quick regardless of whether you’re using the petrol engine and electric motor together or individually. On paper, the e:PHEV's 0-62mph time of 9.4sec is slower than the Sorento's, but it doesn’t feel that way, with the CR-V getting off the line with gusto when you plant the throttle.
In typically British wet conditions, we found it very easy to find the limit of front-end grip and you didn’t need to be going particularly quickly before the front wheels start to wash wide. In fact, the only demerit for the refinement is that at motorway speeds, while wind noise is pretty subdued, there’s quite a lot of road noise .If you want something that feels like an SUV to sit in, the CR-V e:PHEV’s high seating position will be right up your street. It’s also a plus that it’s really easy to get comfortable, thanks to the standard-fit eight-way electrically adjustable front seats with four-way adjustable lumbar support.
. It’s a fairly good system, with clear graphics and quick responses to your prods but, as with the Civic, it’s more distracting to use on the move than the X3’s, which has a physical controller. If interior space is more important to you than style, though, you’re in luck. For starters, there’s loads of space up front for a pair of broad shouldered six-footers to get comfortable. It’s in the rear that the CR-V is really impressive, though.
