About the Honda CR-V Hybrid
A truly historic milestone in the legacy of the Honda CR-V, drivers can now experience the outstanding efficiency of the dynamic CR-V Hybrid. For two decades, the CR-V has remained America’s best-selling crossover and the CR-V Hybrid is Honda’s first hybrid SUV in the United States. All CR-V Hybrid models are proudly assembled in North America at one of three assembly plants. The launch of the CR-V Hybrid is the latest effort to help Honda accomplish its objective of achieving two-thirds of its global automotive sales from electrified models by 2030. A cutting-edge dual-motor hybrid powertrain allows the CR-V Hybrid to achieve remarkable fuel economy figures. Connected tech features inside the cabin along with innovative safety features included as standard help the Honda CR-V emerge as a leader among compact hybrid SUVs.
What the Critics Say
Yes, enjoyment. Easy, effort-free driving has always been something of a CR-V trait in previous generations. It’s still evident in this CR-V Hybrid, but we’ve discovered an added dimension to this king of the suburban road — which is a bit of a surprise, albeit a pleasant one. There’s a poise and agility to how the CR-V Hybrid drives, a perfect complement to this energetic drivetrain.” — Kelley Blue Book
The brakes work well in emergency situations and make it easy to stop smoothly. We also like the hybrid system’s smooth operation in city driving, though climbing long mountain grades can take a heavy foot. Around corners, the CR-V stays composed and under control. The responsive steering offers enough feedback to give you a good sense of what’s happening on the road.” — Edmunds
What’s New for 2026
2026 brings a wide range of exciting improvements to the Honda CR-V Hybrid, bolstering its already impressive reputation. The new model year marks the debut of the all-new CR-V TrailSport Hybrid – an off-road-focused variant with plenty of unique features. Highlights of TrailSport trims include all-terrain tires, rugged exterior styling, a unique Ash Green Metallic paint choice, and TrailSport accents scattered throughout the cabin. For the rest of the trim range, every CR-V Hybrid now comes standard with wireless smartphone integration, wireless smartphone charging, and a larger 9-inch touchscreen. Sport Touring variants also now come standard with a new Individual drive mode setting along with software from Google-built in.
Honda CR-V Hybrid Features
Efficient Performance
Offering drivers maximized fuel efficiency, the Honda CR-V Hybrid uses a sophisticated two-motor powertrain to help take your adventures further than ever before. Engineered to help take your adventures further than ever before, this advanced powertrain includes two electric motors along with a 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC Atkinson cycle engine which delivers over 40 percent thermal efficiency. These unique characteristics give the CR-V Hybrid the ability to provide smooth, seamless power delivery since it doesn’t require a conventional automatic transmission. Since its inception, generous cargo capacity has remained a core strength of all Honda CR-V models. This principle holds true with the CR-V Hybrid thanks to a cleverly-positioned intelligent power unit (IPU) that places the hybrid battery pack underneath the cargo floor. Offering a total of 204 combined system horsepower, the CR-V Hybrid delivers up to an exceptional 40 MPG combined fuel economy rating**.
Luxurious Interior
Driving a hybrid SUV no longer means that you have to compromise on luxurious comfort thanks to the launch of the Honda CR-V Hybrid. You’ll notice several exclusive interior accents that separate the CR-V Hybrid from its traditional CR-V sibling. You’ll find exclusive upholstery inside both Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trim levels for a race-inspired look and feel inside the cabin. Another unique aspect of the CR-V Hybrid is its digital display within the gauge cluster that gives you clear readouts for both power distribution and energy regeneration levels. Great for relaxing on extended road trips, you can also opt for available leather-trimmed seating surfaces. To access all of your favorite apps and media at the touch of a button, the Honda CR-V Hybrid comes standard with a 9-inch high-definition touchscreen display including wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
Groundbreaking Safety
Since even the best drivers can use a helping hand from time to time, every Honda CR-V Hybrid comes standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive safety technologies. Features included in this groundbreaking collection are Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and pedestrian sensing capability. Another feature that’s unique to the CR-V Hybrid is the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS). Designed to increase pedestrian awareness, this groundbreaking system uses a speaker mounted in the front bumper to generate an audible alert that varies in volume depending on the speed of the vehicle.
