Perhaps like me, you re at a crossroads of fuel efficiency and utility. You like the gas mileage you get in a smaller car, but love the places a bigger, more adventure-geared car can take you.
If you find yourself in this seemingly impossible crossroads, there s finally a solution the Honda CR-V Hybrid. I didn t really know what to expect with this test drive, as a hybrid can be a bit of a wild card. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised in every way.
Smooth ride and technical specs
The car rides very smoothly almost too smoothly. (Just kidding, there s no such thing.) But going from a slow residential road to the speed of a freeway isn t jolting or difficult to transition. Additionally, stopping at a light and then going again is seamless. In my sedan, I can feel the automatic transmission shifting gears whenever I start going faster or even begin driving after sitting at a light. I kept waiting for the jolt of gears shifting in the 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid, but it never came.
