It appears you did not. I said the 2.0L is louder than the 1.5L. In EV mode the Hybrid is much quieter. In an earlier post I described the non-aesthetic purpose of an engine top cover. I never wrote anything about an “insulated windshield”.

I was wrong! I guess I was remembering my wife’s 2013 Accord. My 2024 CR-V EX Does nt have and engine cover
