2020 Honda CR-V Towing Capacity
The 2020 Honda CR-V is rated as a compact SUV, but its capabilities are anything but small. When properly equipped, the CR-V can tow up to 1,500 pounds of trailer weight. As a result, you’ll be able to hitch a variety of items to the rear of the CR-V, including:
- A pop-up tent trailer for a weekend in solitude
- A snowmobile or a jet ski for when you’re craving an adrenaline rush
- A flatbed trailer piled with fresh mulch for a DIY landscaping project
- A small aluminum boat for when it’s time to teach the kids how to fish
In order to utilize this towing capacity, you’ll need to opt for available trailering features, such as an integrated trailer hitch. The standard multi-angle rearview camera makes it easier than ever to hitch and back up the trailer with normal, top-down, and wide-angle view options.
CR-V Performance Specifications
The capabilities of the Honda CR-V are made possible by its standard 1.5L turbocharged engine. This engine not only makes a whopping 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, it also provides an EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG.1
Not only can the CR-V drive farther longer, it can also take on any road with ease, thanks to the available Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™. It’ll react more quickly to a loss of traction, keeping it stable on slippery surfaces. As a result, you can feel confident on the road during any time of the year.
Cavernous Cargo Area in the CR-V
As we mentioned before, the Honda CR-V towing capacity is impressive. However, there’s also lots of space inside for cargo. You’ll be able to haul all kinds of cargo items inside the cabin of the vehicle.
You get 39.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats. Without having to give up any of your passenger seats, you’ll have ample space for grocery bags, sports equipment, luggage, and other personal belongings.
Fold-down either side of the 60/40-split rear fold-flat seats, and you can fit more items while still leaving room for a back-seat passenger. Fold both sides down, and you’ll have 75.8 cubic feet of space for a week’s worth of camping equipment, full-size pieces of furniture for moving, and much more.
In addition, the available hands-free access power tailgate makes accessing the cargo area easy when your hands are full. Simply swipe your foot under the rear bumper to open the liftgate, then start packing those items inside.
