![]() There’s even a conventional shifter instead of some confusing, different-for-different-sake electronic doo-dad.Īs for instruments and infotainment, the CR-V features an analog speedometer combined with a 7-inch screen that can display the tachometer and other information. All the switchgear feels high-quality with tight, solid action whether it's a turn signal stalk or the highly welcome climate control dials. The dash is low, and in conjunction with the front pillars, visibility is excellent and there’s a strong sense of spaciousness. There’s ample storage space and cupholders.

The CR-V’s hybrid is more powerful and, not surprisingly, more efficient than the perfectly sufficient 1.5-liter turbo inline-four found in the more traditional LX, EX and EX-L trim levels.
