Honda announced plans for a fuel-cell version of the CR-V.
This hydrogen-powered version of the compact SUV will be built in the U.S. starting in 2024.
It will likely look similar to the standard CR-V, but with a few visual tweaks.
Honda is giving the hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle another try with a new version of the popular CR-V crossover that will be built in Ohio starting in 2024. It will serve as a replacement for the Clarity Fuel Cell, a hydrogen-powered sedan offered in California from 2017 to 2020. Interestingly, this new model will also offer plug-in capability for its battery pack to allow it to offer a small amount of electric-only range without having to rely on its hydrogen supply.

This fuel-cell vehicle will look just like the standard CR-V inside and out, save for a few small visual differences such as badging, trim, and possibly different headlights and taillights. Details are slim on the new powertrain, but we know that it will use a new power unit that’s a collaboration with General Motors. This fuel-cell unit, which essentially turns the liquid hydrogen into electricity to power the electric motor, is said to improve upon the old Clarity’s powertrain and also uses 80 percent less platinum than before.
