The 2018 Honda CR-V Hybrid was unveiled at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, with an announcement due at a “later date”.
Green Car Reports asked Honda US if the CR-V Hybrid will be coming to the US. They responded, “We have already announced our intent to electrify core volume models, including light trucks. CR-V will logically be a part of that, and we’ll announce timing for the U.S. at a later date.”
