2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid vs 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

The 2024 CR-V Hybrid is one of the roomiest compact crossovers you can buy, with plenty of comfort for passengers and space for cargo. In addition, it is a safe choice, and hybrid power comes standard on its highest trims. What’s new? This year, an EX-L Hybrid trim level debuts in Canada with standard all-wheel drive (AWD), which introduces a lower starting price for the CR-V’s more fuel-efficient powertrain versus the top-shelf Touring Hybrid trim.

Verdict: Overall, there is little to criticize and much to praise about the 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid. It might not be the most exciting vehicle in its segment, but it excels at practicality, utility, comfort, and safety. Unfortunately, it also falls short in perhaps the most critical area for any hybrid: fuel economy.
