  • Bold new exterior design: The 2028 CR-V will have an entirely new design, marking a fresh visual direction for this popular SUV.

What To Expect From The New CR-V Powertrain

The announcement creating the biggest buzz is Honda's decision to make the 2028 CR-V exclusively hybrid. It will debut the next-generation of Honda's two-motor hybrid technology, incorporating improvements designed to deliver more power and greater efficiency. Confirmed enhancement include:

  • An expanded operating range in which the engine can operate more efficiently
  • Improved driving efficiency
  • Enhanced overall performance and power delivery

Honda is also targeting a fuel-efficiency improvement of more than 10% for the 2028 CR-V.

Honda hasn't released official horsepower, EPA fuel economy rating, or complete powertrain specifications yet, but it's clear that performance and efficiency will be major priorities.

Completely New Platform for the 2028 CR-V

Honda has also confirmed that the new CR-V will debut an entirely new vehicle platform that's engineered around two important goals: improved structural rigidity and reduced vehicle weight. It will also incorporate a modular design that's intended to increase parts commonality across future models.

What This Means: Honda says the new platform is intended to enhance driving enjoyment, with a sportier and more exhilarating feel behind the wheel. We'll share additional information about suspension tuning, dimensions, and handling characteristics as we receive them.

What This Means: Honda has described the 2028 CR-V as having a bold new design, signaling a significant styling change from the current generation.
