I can't be the first to have seen this but this is interesting. Sorry if it is a repost.

A 2.0 litre Atkinson Cycle petrol engine works with two electric motors – one propulsion and one generator motor – controlled by an intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) system providing 3 driving modes: Electric Drive, Hybrid Drive and Engine Drive. Two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions are available.

Some information on the hybrid system:

Not a plug-in. No interest.
 
Still better than diesel. It comes down to price, I would also check RAV4 hybrid, better performance, better fuel economy, better towing capacity.

As for the green Environment, don't buy an SUV, even if it's PHEV. :D
 
I currently have a CRV and a Clarity Plug In. If Honda made a CRV Plug In with 50 miles EV range with a real spare tire that would be the perfect vehicle for me. I wouldn’t need to have two vehicles like I do now. It could be my hauling / bad weather vehicle and my commuter vehicle all in one. With the money saved I could buy solar panels for house. I could be super green.
 
In 2017 I read 2018
In 2018 I read 2019
Now I read as a 2020 model

I would gladly swap out my current CRV for a hybrid CRV even though my current CRV has many thousands of good miles left in it.
