New Fourth-Generation: 2023 CR-V Sport and Sport Touring
The first three generations of the Honda two-motor hybrid system used two electric motors mounted in-line with each other, with the generator motor connected directly to the engine, and the propulsion motor connected to the drive wheels.

The new fourth-generation of the system in the 2023 CR-V Sport and Sport Touring works differently. The two electric motors are now side-by-side, which has multiple benefits.

This configuration allows for the use of a larger and more powerful propulsion motor, which now has an increased torque output of 247 lb.-ft. (+15 lb.-ft.). It also maintains its 181 hp over a broader range of motor rpm, thereby improving response.
The new propulsion motor uses new high-performance magnets that, as before, are made without heavy rare-earth metals. Internally, the motor uses a multi-ring structure that helps enable a higher peak motor speed of 14,500 rpm, an improvement of 11.5%. This higher motor speed contributes to a higher sustained top speed capability for the 2023 CR-V Sport and Sport Touring of 115 mph, 28% faster than its predecessor.
The new side-by-side arrangement also enables the use of two separate lock-up clutches and direct-drive gear sets, one for city driving and one for highway speeds. The two separate direct-drive gears allow better optimization of gasoline engine speeds across the board, improving response and refinement.
The low-speed lockup clutch enables engine drive at urban speeds, helping improve fuel efficiency. The low-speed lockup clutch also enables 2023 CR-V hybrid models to tow up to 1,000 pounds, a first for the two-motor hybrid system.
The high-speed lockup clutch enables a more relaxed driving environment at highway speeds by reducing engine rpm and contributes to the new higher continuous top speed.
