2024 Honda CR-V Launches With New Hybrid Sport-L Trim

The newly announced 2024 Honda CR-V lineup expands with the addition of the hybrid Sport-L trim. The automaker also has pricing for the whole range, and the starting cost is $1,090 more than the 2023 model. 2024 CR-V deliveries start on June 14.

The CR-V Sport-L occupies the space between the CR-V EX-L and the Sport Touring grades. Front- and all-wheel-drive configurations are available.

The new trim level has gloss black exterior trim, rectangular exhaust outlets, and black 18-inch wheels. The cabin comes standard with leather seats, power adjustment for the front passenger chair, and a power tailgate. It also has a 9.0-inch infotainment screen with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless-charging pad, and an eight-speaker stereo.

The CR-V's hybrid powertrain continues to consist of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with two electric motors. It provides a total system output of 204 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque. Honda reports that more than 50 percent of CR-V sales are the hybrid-equipped trim levels.

The other available powertrain is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque.
