Honda has globally unveiled the all-new CR-V 2025, and it’s bigger, smarter, and more electrified than ever before. With a rugged new design, refined hybrid powertrain, spacious 7-seater cabin, and cutting-edge safety tech, the sixth-generation CR-V is ready to redefine what premium mid-size SUVs can offer. If launched in India, the CR-V Hybrid could take on rivals like the Toyota Fortuner, Hyundai Tucson, and VW Tiguan.
Rugged New Design with Premium Touches
The 2025 CR-V flaunts a bolder, more upright SUV stance featuring a large hexagonal grille, slimmer LED headlamps, chunkier bumpers, and a longer bonnet. The side profile is muscular with strong shoulder lines, larger 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels, and matte black cladding. At the rear, L-shaped LED taillights, a powered tailgate, and chrome detailing give it a more luxurious yet rugged appearance.
Advanced Hybrid Powertrain with AWD Options
Internationally, the new CR-V offers two engine options: a 1.5L turbo-petrol and a 2.0L e\:HEV strong hybrid system. The hybrid setup delivers around 204 hp combined and comes mated to an e-CVT gearbox. All-wheel drive (AWD) is available in select trims, enhancing its on-road grip and mild off-road capability. The strong hybrid variant delivers an impressive fuel economy of up to 20–23 kmpl.
Spacious 7-Seater Cabin with Premium Features
Inside, the CR-V 2025 is designed with a clean, horizontal dashboard layout. It includes a large 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The SUV offers dual-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, leather upholstery, ambient lighting, wireless charger, and a 12-speaker Bose sound system. A third-row option may be offered in select markets, giving it 7-seater versatility.
Level-2 ADAS with Honda Sensing
Honda equips the new CR-V with its next-gen Honda Sensing suite, offering Level-2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control with stop-go, lane keep assist, forward collision mitigation, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitor, and rear cross-traffic alert. Additional safety includes 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, 360-degree camera, and rear parking sensors.
Boot Space & Practicality
With its longer wheelbase and wider stance, the 2025 CR-V offers generous space for both passengers and luggage. Boot capacity stands at over 1,100 liters (with third row folded), and the flat floor layout ensures high practicality for families and road trips.
Expected Launch & Price in India
The CR-V 2025 is likely to enter India via the CKD route and could launch by mid-2025. It will rival the likes of Toyota Fortuner (hybrid), Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Meridian, and Skoda Kodiaq. Prices are expected to start from ₹35 lakh and go up to ₹42 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-end AWD hybrid variant.
Conclusion
The Honda CR-V 2025 blends muscular design, hybrid efficiency, luxury interiors, and class-leading safety in one futuristic SUV. With the growing shift towards hybrid tech in India, this next-gen CR-V could be Honda’s premium comeback vehicle in the mid-size SUV market.
