The Long-Awaited New Honda CR-V Has Finally Arrived in the Brazilian Market with the Promise of Innovation, but Does It Really Deliver Everything It Promises?
If you are a car enthusiast and are paying attention to the changes in the market, you may have noticed that electrification is forcing all automakers to rethink their strategies. Honda is no exception, launching the New Honda CR-V hybrid with a design that is very reminiscent of the Civic. But does it really fulfill what it promises? Let’s take a detailed look at the engine and fuel consumption of this car and see if it’s worth the investment.
The New Honda CR-V has arrived in Brazil imported from Thailand and now comes with a hybrid system. The idea was to combine the brand’s reliability with a sober and attractive design, common to all of its cars. However, one of the biggest criticisms lies precisely in the engine and fuel consumption.
Visual and Design
In terms of design, the New Honda CR-V closely resembles the Civic. The slim headlights and square front grille are characteristics that recall the sedan. However, while the look may please many, the real question is whether the mechanics and performance match this aesthetic.

Engine and Fuel Consumption of the New Honda CR-V
Under the hood, the New Honda CR-V features a hybrid system composed of two electric motors and a 2.0-liter internal combustion engine. On paper, this seems promising. However, the reality is somewhat disappointing.
The city consumption is 14.8 km/l, while on the highway it drops to 13.1 km/l. For a hybrid car, these numbers are far from impressive. In comparison, the Civic, with a similar hybrid system, achieves 22.5 km/l in the city. The difference in fuel consumption is significant and raises questions about the CR-V’s efficiency.
Comfort and Internal Space
Despite the criticisms regarding the engine and fuel consumption, the New Honda CR-V offers ample interior space. With a length of 4.7 meters and a wheelbase of 2.7 meters, there is plenty of room for five occupants. The seats are comfortable, and the interior finish is of high quality.
However, the dashboard is practically a copy of the Civic, which may be seen as a lack of originality. Although the build quality is solid, Honda could have invested in a more exclusive interior design for the CR-V.
Technology and Safety
The New Honda CR-V comes equipped with the Honda Sensing package, which includes adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance. Technology is a strong point of the car, highlighted by the 12-inch digital display on the instrument panel.
However, the 9-inch multimedia center could be larger, especially considering the vehicle’s high price.
New Honda CR-V Hybrid Arrives in the Brazilian Market
The New Honda CR-V hybrid arrives in the Brazilian market with a price of R$ 352,900, which is quite high. While it offers an attractive design and a good technology package, the disappointing fuel consumption and lack of originality in the interior are negative points that cannot be overlooked.
For those looking for an efficient hybrid SUV, there are other options on the market that offer a better balance between engine and fuel consumption. The CR-V may please in terms of style and comfort, but when it comes to fuel economy, it falls short.
