If you see interior cabin photos of the 2020 CRV with paddles no doubt this will be a Hybrid model. Paddles are fitted to provide some control of how much engine regeneration is used to recharge the battery. The higher the regen the higher the braking effect from the engine, very useful when descending hills as well as providing an increased battery charge. I've noted that in magazine reviews the paddles have been dismissed as pretty useless but from experience I use them automatically before hitting the brakes when slowing the car on a gradient.
