The 2023 Honda CR-V is here, and this is our first change to take a close look and see what's new.

With more refined styling and interior upgrades from the Civic, the new CR-V will be better suited to do battle with other segment favorites like the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4. The 2023 CR-V's new face likely isn't much of a surprise. We got a preview back in May when images from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were posted online. Now, we get a better taste of its larger mesh grille that adds a rugged flavor shared with the Ridgeline pickup truck. Thinner headlights further emphasize the grille's size, with up-market Sport and Sport Touring hybrid models also getting more aggressive front and rear fascias.

Technology-wise, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the board, as is the Honda Sensing suite of driver-assist and safety systems. For 2023, that includes a new wide-angle camera with a 90-degree field of view, and a radar system that can see 120 degrees. Blind-spot monitoring is standard, and Honda's Traffic Jam Assist with low-speed braking and sign recognition are available. When venturing off the beaten path, Honda's Real Time AWD system is updated and offers several driving modes depending on conditions. For the first time in the CR-V, hill descent control is available.

At launch, the 2023 Honda CR-V will be offered in four trim levels. It starts with the EX, followed by the EX-L and both feature the familiar turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine making 190 horsepower (142 kilowatts). Sport and Sport Touring round out the CR-V trim levels, each packing an updated 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain. The tweaked setup actually makes a bit less horsepower compared to the outgoing model –  204 versus 212 – but torque is up to 247 pound-feet (335 kilowatts).
