Reviews Summary

The Honda CR-V has been on sale in the US since the 1997 model year, and it first got a hybrid version in 2020. The hybrid powertrain was available in four trims, exclusively with all-wheel drive (AWD). Its gas-powered counterpart, meanwhile, was cheaper by three to four thousand dollars at each trim level, had even less-expensive front-wheel-drive (FWD) options, and came in six trims.

Fast forward to 2023. Honda has simplified the CR-V lineup significantly. There are now only four trims total, two per powertrain. The CR-V Hybrid is available in either Sport or Sport Touring trim, positioning it clearly as the best Honda CR-V in production today.

Reviews Summary

As if its 2022 redesign wasn’t dramatic enough, Hyundai has added hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains to the all-new Tucson. With an estimated 33 miles of all-electric driving range, the Tucson PHEV looks like a slam-dunk option for folks shopping in the compact crossover market. How it performs in cold weather, however, may be enough to send shoppers looking at other options.
