- CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 294 g/mi, or 183 g/km.↩
- Fuel cost: an estimate — 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon (EIA US regular, 2026-09-14). Five years: $9,934. No publisher states this figure.↩
- Power: 190 hp is the rated figure, from NHTSA's CAFE market data.↩
- Crash rating: NHTSA's overall rating for the front-wheel-drive 2020 CR-V — frontal 5, side 5, rollover 4 stars. NHTSA data as of 2026-09-10.↩

- Kerb weight: not published. EPA certification alone states a curb weight for this car, and another source's figure for this nameplate could not be attributed to this car.↩

- This car is measured on the petrol scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
- Price: no price is published for this car. NHTSA's CAFE market data prices this market's cars by compliance configuration, and it lists none matching this one.↩
