Direct, deterministic answers synthesized from verified United States government databases for the 2023 Honda CR-V
The 2023 Honda CR-V achieves an EPA-certified rating of 29 to 40 MPG combined across 4 certified configuration(s).
City ratings range from 27 to 43 MPG, and highway ratings range from 32 to 36 MPG.
Hybrid (HEV) models achieve up to 40 MPG combined, delivering approximately 10 more miles per gallon than standard gasoline configurations (up to 30 MPG combined).
Gas-electric hybrid variants use regenerative braking and electric assist motors to reduce fuel consumption in stop-and-go city driving.
Using AutoUtility's standardized operating cost model, estimated annual fueling and energy costs range between $1,550 and $2,100 for the 2023 Honda CR-V.
Calculated under AutoUtility's standardized methodology (15,000 miles per year, 55% city / 45% highway driving, $3.50/gallon regular gasoline, $0.16/kWh electricity) using official EPA dynamometer consumption ratings.
