The newly restyled and upgraded Honda CR-V has just been voted CUV of the year by Motor Trend, one of the automotive industry's most prestigious publications. After a few missteps over the last few years, many publications have been hard on Honda lately, so this is a big victory for the automaker. Regardless, Honda continues to sit at the top of many bestseller lists, because of the Civic, Accord and now the CR-V. A panel of nine judges determined the winner of the CUV of the year award. They applauded the improvements of the new design and aesthetics, but were most enthused by the CR-V's engineering. "This feels like a Honda should, with light steering, great feedback, and competent handling chops. It’s way more fun than any compact crossover ought to be," noted one judge.

The new sixth-generation 2023 Honda CR-V, which for the first time includes a hybrid version in Canada, gets a starting MSRP of $34,790, or $3,000 more than last year.

Via a few partial-view images and some camo shots of the vehicle in testing, Honda has teased the new TrailSport edition of the upcoming next-generation Pilot, set to be revealed this fall and marketed in 2023.

The 2023 Honda Civic Type R is going to deliver 315 horsepower. Honda has finally shared the information for the North American continent.
