Have you been considering making the 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid your next new vehicle but can’t decide if it’s right for you? Curious about its hybrid powertrain? We’re diving into all the details at Heritage Honda Bel Air.
Where Does the Power Come From?
The 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid is a midsize SUV that’s powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. Together, the hybrid powertrain generates a 204 total system horsepower and up to 247 lb-ft of torque, giving you exciting acceleration while still remaining efficient.
How Does the Powertrain Work?
While a traditionally-powered vehicle is powered by fuel, a hybrid vehicle uses both fuel and electricity. Typically, a hybrid vehicle uses its gasoline engine to power the vehicle, but when conditions allow, it uses electric power instead.
The electric motors are powered by the vehicle’s battery. The battery is actually charged by the vehicle’s engine, as well as through regenerative braking, so it never needs to be plugged in.
What Is Regenerative Braking?
When your vehicle slows or stops, it expels energy. Hybrid vehicles recoup this energy to stow in the battery for later use. They do this by reversing the electric motors when you decelerate or stop, while still effectively slowing or stopping your vehicle.
What Type of Range Does it Have?
On average, you can drive up to 34 miles on electric power alone in the 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid. This not only preserves your fuel, but also emits nearly-zero carbon emissions, making your travels eco-friendlier.
