Key final specifications for the 2023 Honda CR-V are finally here: pricing and fuel economy. To get into the compact SUV, you'll need to have at least $32,355 (including destination charge), which will get you the EX model with the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and front-wheel drive. And if you want the hybrid, it starts at $33,695. No matter the trim, adding all-wheel drive adds an extra $1,500, except for the Sport Touring, which comes standard with four driven wheels. The base prices are listed below.

  • EX: $32,355

  • Sport (Hybrid): $33,695

  • EX-L: $35,005

  • Sport Touring (Hybrid): $39,845

This represents a substantial increase in pricing compared to the outgoing model, which started at $28,045. Part of that is due to dropping the entry-level LX trim, but even comparing trim for trim, the old EX started at $30,555. The difference for the hybrid version is much closer, with the old model starting at $33,255.

The CR-V's new pricing also makes it the most expensive crossover in the segment. The Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-50, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Subaru Forester and Chevy Equinox all start under $30,000 including destination charge. Some of those models, such as the CX-50 and Forester, offer standard all-wheel drive, too. Pricing narrows with the hybrid, but the CR-V hybrid is still more expensive than competitors such as the RAV4 Hybrid, Escape Hybrid, Tucson Hybrid and Sportage Hybrid. The RAV4 and Tucson both offer standard all-wheel drive with their hybrids, too.

Related to hybrids, Honda provided fuel economy numbers for the CR-V. The hybrid is, unsurprisingly, the most frugal. With front-wheel drive, it returns 43 mpg in the city, 36 on the highway and 40 combined. All-wheel drive reduces that to 40 in the city, 34 on the highway and 37 combined. The previous hybrid was AWD-only, and it got 40 in the city, 35 on the highway and 38 combined. The Honda is fairly efficient, though the RAV4 Hybrid manages 40 mpg combined with standard all-wheel drive, and the Ford Escape Hybrid and Kia Sportage Hybrid each top the Honda with up to 41 mpg combined and 43 mpg combined respectively.

The standard turbo engine delivers the same fuel economy as before: 28 mpg city, 34 highway and 30 combined. Adding all-wheel drive drops those numbers to 27 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway and 29 combined, which is again the same as before.

New turbo CR-Vs will start reaching dealerships on September 22. The hybrids will follow in October.

The introduction of a new vehicle generation gives an automaker the opportunity to redo the lineup, trimming some fat and ensuring there isn't a paralyzing amount of choice on offer. Honda did exactly that with the 2023 CR-V, bringing better-equipped trims to the forefront and simplifying the whole lineup.

Honda this week announced pricing for the 2023 CR-V. A base CR-V EX with front-wheel drive and a 1.5-liter turbocharged I4 making 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque will set you back $32,355, including the mandatory $1,245 destination charge. That's a far cry from the 2022 base model's price of $28,035, but that LX trim is dead and gone; comparing it to the 2022 EX's price of $30,555 is a bit more appropriate, but the 2023 model gets a price hike nevertheless. The only other gas-only CR-V on offer is the EX-L, which will cost $35,005, which is only a few hundred bucks higher than the previous generation.

The CR-V Hybrid's lineup hasn't been slimmed, but it's been renamed. All hybrids now carry Sport badging, with the base FWD Sport hybrid costing $33,695 including destination, which is about $400 more than the outgoing 2022 base EX hybrid. The top-trim Sport Touring hybrid costs $39,845, which is $800 higher than the 2022 hybrid's top trim. The hybrid is peppier, with its 2.0-liter I4 and electric motor producing a net 204 hp and 247 lb-ft.

Adding all-wheel drive will incur an additional $1,500 bump on all trims, except the Sport Touring hybrid, where it's standard. You can take a look at the chart below to explore the full range of pricing and EPA fuel economy estimates for the 2023 Honda CR-V lineup.

What will the 2023 Honda CR

The 2023 Honda CR-V compact SUV enters a whole new generation, bigger and better than before. Which is really saying something, because there's never been a CR-V that wasn't impressive. Prices start at $31,110.

When can I expect my 2023 CR

The all-new 2023 CR-V goes on sale in summer 2022 with an updated hybrid powertrain that uses two motors, better tech, and new safety features. Honda offers the redesigned 2023 CR-V in four trim levels, including EX, EX-L, Sport, and Sport Touring.

Will there be a new Honda CR

Honda has reworked the CR-V lineup for 2023, distilling it into four trim levels. The EX and EX-L are gas-only models. The Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid come exclusively with the hybrid powertrain and those are the two we'd recommend most. The front-wheel-drive CR-V Hybrid Sport is tempting.

Will the 2023 Honda CR

By the numbers, the 2023 CR-V is 2.7 inches longer, rides on a wheelbase stretched up to 1.6 inches, and has slightly wider front and rear tracks (0.4 to 0.5 inch front and 0.3 to 0.5 inch rear) than the previous model.
