Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of buying a 2020 CRV and I need advice on the hybrid versus conventional engine. My wife and I do a lot of drives that are 45 minutes to an hour where we're going up 4000-5000 feet. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience driving uphill like this in the new hybrid CRV, and whether the uphill engine noise in the hybrid is better or worse than the noise we'd get from the conventional gas engine during these uphill drives. Any thoughts on whether the hybrid or conventional engine is quieter when climbing hills for extended periods?

Thanks!
