2020 Honda CR-V Named Green SUV of the Year by Green Car Journal
The freshened 2020 #honda CR-V and all-new CR-V Hybrid have been named the 2020 #green #suv of the Year by #green Car Journal, the second time #honda has won #green #suv of the Year, and the sixth time a #honda vehicle has earned recognition from #green Car Journal.
"Honda's CR-V is already efficient as a conventionally-powered model and well-established as a driver favorite," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of #green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com. "The addition of a new all-wheel drive CR-V using Honda's proven two-motor hybrid system is an exceptional move, offering buyers an even more compelling reason to consider this award-winning model at the showroom."
The 2020 CR-V went on-sale in October with freshened exterior styling and upgraded features, including standard #honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technology for all trims (previously EX and above), and a more powerful engine for the CR-V LX—Honda's 1.5-liter turbo. The all-new 2020 CR-V Hybrid, launching early next year, is Honda's first hybrid #suv in America and is expected to be the company's top-selling hybrid model.
Honda was recently recognized by the U.S. EPA as having the highest fleet-average fuel economy of any automaker. In pursuit of its goal to halve the company's global CO2 emissions by 2050 (compared to 2000 levels), #honda is aiming to electrify two-thirds of its global automobile sales by 2030. In the U.S., #honda electrified vehicle sales in 2019 are up 34 percent from year-ago results to more than 50,000 hybrids, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles, with hybrid sales alone up 82 percent for the year.
The 2020 CR-V and CR-V Hybrid mark the sixth time #honda has been awarded by #green Car Journal. Last year, the 2019 #honda Insight became the fourth #honda passenger car to win #green Car of the Year, joining prior winners the 2012 #honda Civic Natural Gas, 2014 #honda Accord, and 2018 #honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, Clarity Electric and Clarity Fuel Cell, while the 2016 #honda HR-V won #green #suv of the Year.
