Honda will be showing a hybrid version of its new CR-V at the Frankfurt motor show later in September.
Not much detail yet but it sounds mechanically similar to the Outlander but not plug-in so with a smaller battery (they could surprise us though)
2.0L Atkinson petrol engine (I know PHEV is not Atkinson) 2 motors providing primary drive so presumably 4WD, no gearbox, engine can clutch in at a suitable speed extra power going into battery, multiple auto modes, EV, parallel, series, about 200bhp total maximum output..
sound familiar?
Looking forward to see it, had a few Honda vehicles and they are good at packaging car components to make space so I am expecting them to get the bits in with minimal impact on practicality. But we will see..
