Yahoo Autos 2023 Honda CR-V pricing and fuel economy announced
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.
