Another addition to the US market is the Honda CR-V EV Hybrid model or the electric and engine combination. This produces around 212 horsepower compared to the 190 horsepower of the regular 2.4-liter gasoline. Honda will also remove the 2.4-liter engine in favor of the 1.5-liter turbocharged which has the same 190 horsepower.
With the launch of the 2020 Honda CR-V on the 1.5-liter engine, the Philippines may eventually offer this engine on top of the 2.0-liter diesel engine on the current models, locally.
The pricing of the Honda CR-V for the year 2020 remains the same and it is expected to become available in the Philippines next year for P1.5-million base model pricing.
