Overview
The fifth-generation Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Honda from 2016 to 2023, replacing the fourth-generation CR-V. It was first unveiled on 13 October 2016 in Detroit, United States. The fifth-generation of CR-V was available in 5-seater and 7-seater variants in markets other than North America. The fifth-generation CR-V is based on the Compact Car Architecture (CCA) platform shared with the tenth-generation Civic and the Accord.
Equipment
In the American market, Honda Sensing package, which includes features like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking (CMBS) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), is standard on EX and above trims; the package was formerly reserved to the Touring trim prior to the fifth generation release. New safety features introduced include: Blind Spot Information (BSI) with Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (CTM), replacing the LaneWatch system from the previous generation CR-V, and Auto High Beam (HSS) headlights.
Powertrain
The base engine is an Earth Dreams 2.4-litre I4 engine with 184 hp; a turbocharged 1.5-litre I4 with 190 hp was offered. The turbocharged engine delivers peak torque between 2,000rpm and 5,000rpm whereas the naturally-aspirated engine delivers its peak torque at 3,900rpm. U.S. and Canada models are only available with continuously variable transmission. In 2019, for the 2020 model year, Honda has made the 1.5-litre engine standard on all CR-V trim levels sold in the United States and Canada.

Check before you buy
- Ask for a battery state-of-health report: the traction battery is the main value driver in a used hybrid or electric car. Battery SOH tool
- Confirm the charging inlet and the speeds your market supports; plug types differ between regions.
- Check the emissions equipment (particulate filter, NOx treatment) and the destination country's emissions rules; some markets restrict used diesels.
- Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
- Test the four-wheel-drive system (transfer case, differentials) and look for uneven tyre wear.
- Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
