Honda's Seventh-Generation CR-V Arrives Next Year, Hybrid-Only Across the Lineup

IT Home, November 12 — Honda announced this evening (the 12th) that the seventh-generation CR-V will go on sale in 2027 as a 2028 model, with the entire lineup powered by the new Honda Hybrid dual-motor hybrid system.

The new vehicle will also switch to an all-new platform, significantly improving power performance and fuel economy while continuing the CR-V's "high value and practicality" of the past 30 years.

It is understood that the 2028 CR-V will debut the fifth-generation dual-motor hybrid system, further upgrading performance and fuel economy. Honda has further optimized the hybrid system through improvements such as expanding the engine's high-efficiency operating range and raising the efficiency of the hybrid drive unit.

In addition, the new vehicle will be equipped with a newly developed electric all-wheel-drive system that can control the motors more precisely and more quickly.

The seventh-generation CR-V will also be the first to adopt Honda's newly developed platform, balancing body rigidity and lightweight construction through multiple innovative technologies, and using modular design to increase parts commonality. Honda hopes this will further enhance driving fun and bring owners a more sporty and passionate driving experience.

IT Home learned from the press release that Honda plans to improve the fuel economy of its next-generation hybrid models by more than 10 percent while further improving the driving experience.

Last October, Honda showcased in Japan the core technologies of its new hybrid system for large vehicles, planned for future large models produced only in the United States. The new system uses a newly developed V6 engine, drive unit, and battery pack, balancing strong power, higher towing capacity, and excellent environmental performance.
