2 Answers
The battery life of the Honda CR-V hybrid is 10 years or 200,000 kilometers. Taking the 2021 Honda CR-V hybrid as an example, its body dimensions are: 4694mm in length, 1861mm in width, and 1679mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm, a fuel tank capacity of 26 liters, and a curb weight of 1998kg. The 2021 Honda CR-V hybrid features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 146PS, a maximum power of 107kW, and a maximum torque of 175Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a Honda CR-V hybrid for several years. Based on my experience, hybrid batteries typically last around 7 to 10 years, depending on your driving habits and environment. The OEM Honda battery has good quality with a designed lifespan of about 8 years or 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers. However, frequent aggressive acceleration/braking in congested urban areas or parking in extremely hot/cold locations can accelerate battery aging. My own car's battery is still functioning normally after 9 years - the secret is smooth driving, avoiding frequent deep discharges, and getting regular checkups at authorized service centers. The warranty usually covers 8 years or 100,000 kilometers. If replacement is needed, a new battery costs around two to three thousand dollars, which isn't too expensive. I talked with my neighbor Lao Li - his car in northern colder climate showed degradation after just 7 years, so geographic location matters significantly. With proper care, battery lifespan remains manageable.
