2024 Honda CR-V: A Rugged and Refined Compact SUV

Honda's iconic CR-V continues to impress for the 2024 model year with its rugged, refined, and technologically advanced design. As one of Canada's best-selling compact SUVs, the CR-V remains a versatile and reliable choice. Though it received a major makeover for the 2023 model year, the 2024 model carries forward these enhancements with a few minor updates.

Exterior Styling with an Off-Road Edge

The 2024 CR-V's exterior design draws inspiration from Honda's tough truck lineup, such as the Ridgeline and Passport TrailSport. A longer wheelbase, wider stance, and repositioned windshield pillars give it a more planted and aggressive look. Up front, a large upright grille, elongated hood, and LED headlights command attention.

The Sport and range-topping Touring hybrid trims add even more ruggedness with gloss black accents, unique front and rear fascias, and stylish alloy wheel designs. Regardless of the trim, the CR-V's sophisticated proportions and chiselled lines ensure it cuts an impressive figure on the road or trail.

A Modern and Spacious Cabin

Step inside to find a sporty, modern cabin with premium materials and smart tech integration. Simple, clean surfaces and a striking metal mesh spanning the dash create an uncluttered yet upscale ambiance. Thanks to increased dimensions, the CR-V offers more front-to-rear couple distance and rear legroom than ever before.

All CR-V models come standard with digital instrumentation, including a user-friendly multi-information display. Lower trims get a 7-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the EX-L and Touring upgrade to a larger 9-inch screen with wireless smartphone integration.

For audio enthusiasts, the range-topping Touring features a premium 12-speaker Bose sound system engineered to create an immersive listening experience no matter where you're seated.

Advanced Hybrid Power and Capability

Canadian buyers can opt for the CR-V Hybrid Touring – the most powerful and efficient CR-V yet. Its advanced two-motor hybrid system pairs a 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine with two electric motors, producing a robust 204 horsepower and an impressive 247 lb-ft of torque.

This potent powertrain delivers a more spirited and engaging drive while enabling up to 453 kg of towing capacity – a first for a CR-V hybrid. The Hybrid Touring also features a unique Snow driving mode to help maximize traction on slippery surfaces.

The rest of the CR-V lineup is powered by an updated 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder making a healthy 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Combined with an enhanced all-wheel drive system and a new Hill Descent Control feature, the 2024 CR-V promises impressive on-road performance and increased off-road capability.

Class-Leading Safety Technologies

When it comes to safety, the 2024 CR-V excels. Every model comes standard with Honda's latest Sensing suite of advanced driver-assistive technologies, including new features like Traffic Jam Assist, Low-Speed Braking Control, and Traffic Sign Recognition.

The CR-V also introduces new front airbags designed to better protect occupants in angled frontal collisions, as well as standard knee and rear side-impact airbags. With its enhanced ACE body structure, the CR-V is engineered to meet the highest safety ratings while providing excellent protection in various collision scenarios.

The 2024 Honda CR-V stands out in the crowded compact SUV segment. With its tough yet sophisticated styling, spacious and tech-savvy interior, robust powertrains, and class-leading safety credentials, it has all the makings of another huge hit for Honda.
