What is the power output of the Honda CRV?
In the United States, the Honda CR-V offers two powertrains: a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine rated at 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, and a hybrid system with a combined output of 204 horsepower.
United States powertrains
Turbocharged gasoline engine
The turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 (L15B7) is standard on most trims and pairs with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It produces 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. Some trims with all-wheel drive have slight performance variations, but power output remains 190 hp.
- 190 horsepower; 179 lb-ft of torque; CVT
- Available with front- or all-wheel drive depending on trim
Real-world performance can vary based on drivetrain configuration, climate, and vehicle weight.
Hybrid powertrain
The CR-V Hybrid combines a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine with two electric motors for a total system output of 204 horsepower. It uses a single-speed CVT and is available with most trims, typically in AWD.
- 204 horsepower combined; 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine plus electric motors; e-CVT
- Typically AWD is included or optional depending on trim
Plug-in hybrid CR-V variants are not offered in the US as of 2025; the hybrid is a non-plug-in design charged via the engine and braking.
Global powertrain variations
Outside the United States, Honda markets the CR-V with additional electrified options. The European and many Asian markets commonly offer the CR-V Hybrid (e:HEV) with a similar combined output to the US hybrid, and some regions have a plug-in variant (e:PHEV) with a larger battery. Exact specs vary by market and model year.
- Hybrid (e:HEV): typically around 204 horsepower combined; 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine with two electric motors; no plug-in charging in the standard version
- Plug-in hybrid variant (where available): larger battery and plug-in charging; exact power output varies by market
Availability and numbers change with model years, so consult local Honda specifications for precise figures in your region.
Summary
Across current markets, the CR-V’s power outputs center on 190 horsepower from the turbocharged gasoline engine and 204 horsepower from the hybrid system in most configurations. In some regions, hybrid-only options (e:HEV) and plug-in variants (e:PHEV) are also offered with region-specific specifications. For the most accurate figures, check the official Honda specs for your country and trim.
