New Honda CR-V at Union Park Honda in Wilmington, DE

Union Park Honda at 1704 Pennsylvania Avenue in Wilmington carries the full new Honda CR-V lineup for buyers throughout Delaware and the surrounding region. The CR-V is one of Honda's most consistently popular models in the Delaware market, and our Pennsylvania Avenue dealership stocks the CR-V across its full trim range in both the turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline configuration and the 2.0-liter two-motor hybrid that has become a significant portion of CR-V sales since its introduction. Delaware's tax-free vehicle purchase environment applies to new CR-V purchases at our Wilmington dealership, providing buyers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey a meaningful purchase cost advantage that applies at the point of sale rather than arriving as a future rebate.

The current-generation CR-V offers two distinct powertrain paths that address different buyer priorities. The turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder delivers 190 horsepower through a conventional CVT, with front-wheel drive available on LX and EX trims and Real Time AWD available on EX and above. The CR-V Hybrid pairs a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder with a two-motor hybrid system for 204 combined system horsepower delivered through Honda's e-CVT, with the hybrid powertrain's strong low-end response and efficiency advantage on both the stop-and-go segments of Wilmington's Pennsylvania Avenue and the steady-state I-95 and Delaware Route 1 corridors that make up the daily driving pattern of most Delaware CR-V buyers. Both powertrains carry Honda Sensing across the full trim range, and both offer the 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on EX and above trims.

• The CR-V Hybrid's two-motor e-CVT delivers power through the electric motor in most driving conditions, creating a more immediate and linear throttle response than a conventional CVT-equipped compact SUV produces, while recovering energy through regenerative braking on the deceleration segments of Wilmington's urban driving cycle that Delaware buyers cover on their daily routes through New Castle County.
• The CR-V EX-L trim at Union Park Honda in Wilmington adds leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a larger 9-inch touchscreen display with wireless smartphone integration to the EX's already complete technology suite, making it the most frequently requested single trim in the Delaware CR-V lineup by buyers who want the full daily-driver comfort package without stepping to the top-spec Sport Touring Hybrid.
• The CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid at Union Park Honda adds a Bose premium audio system with 12 speakers, a hands-free power tailgate, front and rear parking sensors, a digital rearview mirror, and Honda Sensing Elite with hands-free highway driving assist to the full hybrid powertrain and AWD, representing the most technology-equipped configuration in the CR-V lineup for Delaware buyers who prioritize the complete active safety and connectivity package in a compact SUV.

Gas vs. Hybrid CR-V: The Right Choice for Delaware Buyers

The gas versus hybrid CR-V decision at Union Park Honda in Wilmington is the most common CR-V conversation our team has with Delaware buyers, and the answer is consistently driven by two practical factors: daily driving pattern and budget. For Delaware buyers whose daily driving is predominantly highway-heavy on I-95, Route 1, and the Route 202 corridor toward Pennsylvania, the CR-V Hybrid's two-motor system provides a meaningful efficiency advantage over the turbocharged gas model on the sustained highway segments of those routes. For buyers whose daily pattern is shorter and more mixed between city and highway, the hybrid's regenerative braking system captures deceleration energy on every stop, compounding the efficiency advantage across Wilmington's urban stop-and-go conditions.

The CR-V Hybrid carries a higher price point than the equivalent gas trim, and that price difference is a factor our team discusses honestly with Delaware buyers when comparing the two powertrain options. The hybrid's long-term operating cost advantage over the ownership period is real, but it accumulates gradually, and buyers whose primary priority is the lowest possible purchase price should consider the turbocharged gas model's comparable feature content at a lower entry cost. Buyers who plan to hold the CR-V for multiple years and who drive consistent annual mileage on Delaware's highway network will see the hybrid's operating cost advantage compound over time in a way that the shorter-term buyer does not. Our team does not steer Delaware buyers toward either powertrain based on anything other than their actual situation.

• The CR-V's cargo capacity of approximately 39.3 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 76.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat is among the most usable in the compact SUV segment, giving Delaware buyers who use the CR-V as a primary family vehicle the load floor length and cargo opening dimensions to handle the full range of household cargo without constant compromise between passenger space and practical storage.
• Real Time AWD on CR-V EX and above gas trims and all CR-V Hybrid trims at Union Park Honda provides year-round traction management for the winter precipitation events on I-95, Route 1, and Wilmington's local street network, automatically sending torque to the rear wheels when front traction is reduced without requiring driver intervention or a separate mode selection on the vehicle's drive system.
• Honda Sensing Elite, available on the CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid at our Wilmington dealership, adds hands-free Highway Driving Assist that provides lane centering and speed management on compatible divided highways without requiring the driver to keep hands on the wheel, a technology step beyond standard Pilot Assist that addresses the fatigue reduction priority of Delaware buyers who cover I-95 and Route 1 regularly on their daily and weekly commuting pattern.
