Discover the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV at Honda of Vallejo
Inspired by Honda’s best-selling SUV, the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV marks an exciting advancement in the brand’s commitment to a cleaner, zero-emissions future. This forward-thinking plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) blends the trusted versatility of the CR-V with state-of-the-art hydrogen fuel cell technology and plug-in functionality, creating an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional gas-powered engines.
Offering fast refueling and an impressive driving range of up to 270 miles, the CR-V e:FCEV brings the practicality and performance that drivers across Vallejo, Benicia, Fairfield, Napa, and American Canyon have come to expect—while drastically cutting down on emissions. Its sleek, contemporary styling reflects Honda’s modern design language, making it a standout SUV that’s both dependable and stylish—perfect for families on the go.
Inside, the tech-forward cabin features a 9.0-inch touchscreen equipped with Honda’s newest infotainment system, designed to be user-friendly and responsive. Honda of Vallejo welcomes you to explore all the exciting aspects of this next-generation SUV, from its powertrain specs and charging options to interior comforts and exterior details.
Yes, it’s truly a PHEV—thanks to an integrated 17.7-kWh battery that ensures you can keep moving even if you’re not near a hydrogen station. Honda has left no detail overlooked in the design of the 2025 CR-V e:FCEV.
Engine Specifications, Range, and Charging Time
The 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV is powered by Honda’s groundbreaking hydrogen fuel cell powertrain, featuring a single motor that produces 174 horsepower and drives the front wheels. Two hydrogen tanks, strategically positioned beneath and behind the rear seat, provide the main energy source, while the fuel cell system and drive unit are housed under the hood. To enhance peace of mind, a 17.7-kWh battery serves as a backup, offering a reserve driving range of up to 29 miles in case you need extra power before reaching a refueling station. Honda’s advancements in this system bring several key benefits, including double the durability, quicker cold-weather starts, and a 66% reduction in production costs compared to the previous model. Behind the wheel, the driving experience mirrors that of the traditional CR-V, with responsive steering and a quiet, comfortable cabin.
Wondering if this fuel cell technology can get you as far as you need? The 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV offers an impressive EPA-estimated hydrogen range of 241 miles, with an additional 29 miles available from the onboard 17.7-kWh battery. This combination results in a real-world MPGe rating of 52 in the city and 57 on the highway. Hydrogen refueling is incredibly fast, taking only 3 to 5 minutes, while recharging the battery for the reserve range takes around two hours with a 240-volt connection. For added convenience, the powertrain allows the battery to be charged on the go by drawing energy from the fuel cell system, ensuring you’re always prepared for the next leg of your journey.
Interior and Exterior Features
The 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV is offered in a single trim, the EX-L, and is available only at select dealerships like Honda of Vallejo. For drivers in Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, Shingle Springs, and Elk Grove, one noticeable difference between the standard CR-V and the CR-V e:FCEV is the reduced cargo space, a result of the hydrogen tanks positioned in the rear of the vehicle. Aside from that, the design remains largely similar to the iconic CR-V, featuring a sophisticated and modern interior. The cabin is accented by a honeycomb dashboard that cleverly conceals the air vents, comfortable front seats that offer excellent support, and a spacious center console. The second-row seats recline for added comfort and offer ample legroom, with eco-friendly bio-synthetic leather upholstery that’s soft to the touch. These seats also contribute to the versatility of the cargo area, making it easier to transport larger items.
For convenience, the CR-V e:FCEV keeps everyone connected with USB-C ports both in the front and rear, plus a 1,500-watt Power Supply Connector that can power your devices, camping gear, or even a TV for outdoor fun. Standard tech features include a 9.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, and a customizable 10.2-inch driver information display showing vehicle status, audio information, and range. The Bose Premium Audio System, with 12 powerful speakers, delivers crisp, clear sound, while the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera offers enhanced visibility with standard, top-down, and wide-angle views.
On the outside, the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV EX-L makes a strong impression with sleek LED headlights featuring chrome accents and dual low-beam functionality, while the streamlined front fascia provides a clean and sophisticated look. The 18-inch glass-black alloy wheels add a touch of sportiness, and the hands-free power tailgate allows for easy loading and unloading—simply wave your foot under the rear bumper. Another convenient feature is the Walk Away Auto Lock, which automatically locks the doors when you move 8 feet away from the vehicle, adding an extra layer of security.
