Honda is preparing to launch the first wave of its next-generation hybrids, and that’s set to begin with two models. The first of those is the recently announced Avancier, which will be manufactured in Thailand for major global markets. The other one is the subject of today’s article: the next-generation Honda CR-V.
The next-generation Honda CR-V will debut in 2027 for the 2028 model year, so yes, the current-generation model will still live for another model year. Anyway, the new CR-V’s headline-grabbing detail is the fact that it’s going to ditch the pure internal combustion engine (ICE) in favor of a lineup fully composed of hybrids.
It’ll be one of the first models to utilize the new Honda Hybrid drivetrain. By ditching the pure ICE variants, all CR-V models this time around will be more powerful and come with significantly improved fuel efficiency. Versus the current model, Honda aims to improve its fuel efficiency by 10 percent.
Furthermore, the next-generation Honda CR-V will be underpinned by a new platform that features improved rigidity, a lighter weight, and increased modularity that increases parts sharing across various new models. The next-generation CR-V is carefully being engineered to be a crossover SUV with a heightened sense of sportier handling.
The next-generation (seventh-generation) CR-V represents Honda’s step toward doubling down on its hybrid model investments. With the CR-V being Honda’s bestseller in the North American market, the CR-V is a very important vehicle for the brand. The CR-V will continue to be offered globally.
For now, that’s all we know about the upcoming CR-V, but do you like the new font design of the CR-V logo? Let us know in the comments section.
