Most of the attention on the 2020 Honda CR-V focuses on the new hybrid powertrain, the first time the Japanese automaker has offered a gas-electric version of its hugely popular compact crossover in the US. And yeah, that makes sense – Honda builds solid hybrids, and frankly, an electrified CR-V is overdue. In our first drive of that car, we wrote that “it’s hard to argue against the CR-V Hybrid” and the modest $2,000 premium it carries. But while this might be the trim to get, Honda is continuing to offer the gas-only model with the same aesthetic improvements. This lightly refreshed model may not return the same impressive fuel economy as its new-for-North America counterpart, but it remains a smart choice for consumers that need a reliable, comfortable, and affordable crossover companion.
