Honda CR-V Hybrid: A perfect petrol hybrid?

On paper the latest Honda CR-V Hybrid could just be the perfect family SUV, combining lots of space with low running costs and quiet driving manners from its petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain. But how does Honda's new hybrid fare in the real world? Sarah Brown puts it to the test in this CarGurus UK new car review.

Pros
The CR-V is a very reliable family SUV
Very good fuel economy if you choose the hybrid
Practical and roomy cabin

Cons
Fiddly infotainment system
Seven-seat models have less luggage space
Top-spec cars are expensive

The CarGurus verdict
The Honda CR-V is a comfortable, practical and safe option that is well equipped and good to drive. The availability of hybrid, all-wheel drive and seven-seat versions lend it further appeal, although the usefulness of the seven-seat model is admittedly limited.

Altogether, especially for those who want a straightforward and reliable SUV, it’s not a bad choice by any stretch. However, the family SUV sector is so competitive that issues such as the petrol model’s unremarkable efficiency and emissions, and the archaic infotainment system, make it hard to recommend as a go-to option.

It can also get quite expensive, as you scale the trim grades or add options, which further makes it less desirable. Consequently, while not worthy of immediate dismissal, most will find a better and more accommodating overall package in the form of rivals such as the Skoda Kodiaq or Karoq, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, Ford Kuga or Volkswagen Tiguan.
