Roomy interior with cavernous cargo capacity
Tech features are easy to use
Smooth and comfortable ride

What's new

No significant changes for 2025
Part of the sixth CR-V generation introduced for 2023

Overview

The 2025 CR-V is the middle child in Honda's lineup, surrounded by the subcompact HR-V on one side and the larger midsize Passport and Pilot on the other. Historically, the CR-V has been one of the best small SUVs in its class, and that continues with this generation, which was redesigned in 2023. There are no major changes for the 2025 Honda CR-V.

Edmunds spotlight: The CR-V is big on comfort and cargo

Honda has always been tuned into what its shoppers need, and in the case of a compact SUV, it's comfort and convenience. While other carmakers may tout their performance or off-road capabilities, the CR-V hones in on these core competencies. The suspension ably smooths over bumps in the road, while the seats are adequately padded for long-distance comfort. Helping matters is a quiet cabin to reduce fatigue or to let little ones sleep. The CR-V is also great for hauling family-related gear, luggage or all of the stuff you just bought at Costco thanks to its huge 39.3-cubic-foot cargo capacity behind its rear seats.

Competitors to consider

You really can't do much better than the Honda CR-V. We like the Mazda CX-50 for its sharp styling and peppy performance, but it's not as fuel-efficient and can end up a bit pricier. If you're seeking more passion than pragmatism, though, it's a great choice. The Subaru Forester takes another route altogether, emphasizing all-weather capabilities with a dash of off-road adventure. For a lot of shoppers, the CR-V will be the most well-rounded choice.

Our Verdict

Great

8.1

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

The 2025 Honda CR-V is a standout small SUV. It has a smooth ride, ample interior space, and an appealing mix of features for your money. The available hybrid engine also gets high mpg.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the CR-V drive? The CR-V is no track star, but it feels responsive and composed when compared with other small SUVs. The hybrid Sport Touring model we tested accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 8.0 seconds. That's typical for the class, and you can expect a similar time for the regular 1.5-liter engine.

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.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the CR-V? The CR-V rides well. Its suspension is soft without feeling floaty. You will feel bumps and cracks in the pavement, but it does a superb job of recovering quickly and returning to its normally smooth ride without too much intrusion.

The sophisticated theme continues inside. The standard heated front seats feel plush and comfortable, though Honda still doesn't offer a ventilated option. You won't notice much noise from the road; the CR-V is well insulated and feels airtight as you're driving. Our one objection is that the hybrid powertrain can get loud and unpleasant-sounding, particularly if you're going up an incline.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The inside of the CR-V just makes sense. There is plenty of room in both rows, and large windows give you a sense of openness that we appreciate in a small SUV. All that glass also helps with outward visibility. It's harder to see out of the back, but the CR-V has Honda's wide-angle rearview camera that we really like.

The CR-V has big door openings, and all seats are positioned at the right height for adults to slide right in without much effort. It's also easy to get comfortable — the front-row seats have a lot of adjustability fore and aft, while the rear seatbacks are adjustable for reclining.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? While a standard 7-inch touchscreen and optional 9-inch touchscreen are not exactly tops in the class, the CR-V has an effective operating system that is responsive to the touch and easy to use. Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard. The Sport Touring's integrated navigation system has basic-looking maps but otherwise provides helpful routing and guidance.

The voice recognition system only comes on the top Sport Touring trim and, sadly, isn't as advanced as some competitors. But the advanced driving aids are impressive. Loads of them come standard on all CR-V models, and the main ones — adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering, in particular — work exceptionally well.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The CR-V has excellent cargo space for a small SUV, measuring 39.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats (hybrid CR-V versions have slightly less). While not especially deep, the cargo area has plenty of width and vertical height to help you fit bulky objects. Some great news: Unlike the previous generation, this version of the CR-V offers the same cargo capacity for both hybrid and non-hybrid models. You won't sacrifice storage in the name of better fuel economy.

Unfortunately, Honda did take a step back with interior storage. The previous CR-V had a highly configurable hollowed-out center tunnel that could swallow up large handbags. Now that space has been reduced to a conventional center bin. In the second row, big door openings, easy-to-access attachment anchor points and lots of space make it easy to install child safety seats.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Non-hybrid versions of the Honda CR-V top out at an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined. For more fuel savings, the hybrid is rated up to 40 mpg; with all-wheel drive that drops to 37 mpg. The latter is what we tested. On our real-world evaluation route, it averaged a disappointing 33.3 mpg. That said, it's a highway-biased route, and most of its rivals also underperformed in Edmunds' testing. (The Kia Sportage Hybrid got 34.5 mpg, for example.) We saw better fuel economy in day-to-day driving around town where the CR-V can better take advantage of its hybrid powertrain.

Value

7.5/10

Is the CR-V a good value? The CR-V is well put together for its price range. The lack of shakes and rattles indicates solid build quality, and it feels both smooth and quiet on the road. Now, there is a fair bit of hard plastic throughout the cabin, but Honda does well to mask it with soft surfaces and some interesting design elements.

You will pay slightly more for a CR-V than many of its competitors, so if you're looking for a cheap SUV, there are better options. Considering the robust construction, we find the pricing agreeable, if not exactly enticing. Warranty coverage is only average for the class, with several rivals going a step further to protect from rust or offer better roadside assistance or complimentary maintenance.

Wildcard

7.5/10

Crossovers aren't as drab as they used to be designwise, and Honda has gone with a classy yet restrained style that leaves the CR-V looking a bit generic by comparison. This SUV is about blending in, not standing out. Still, the new look definitely brings the CR-V into a more modern era compared to its predecessor.

It can be enjoyable to drive in spurts thanks to responsive controls and solid handling for a crossover. Practicality is first and foremost, however. As a result the CR-V should be a hit for those who shop with an arsenal of Excel spreadsheets by their side. The rest of you should go elsewhere to find inspiration and passion in a small family SUV.

Which CR-V does Edmunds recommend?

We think the EX-L trim is the way to go. This is a midpriced trim for the CR-V but comes with just about everything you'll want or need, including leather upholstery, a power liftgate and more.

2025 Honda CR-V Sport-L Hybrid 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

I’ve had my 2025 CRV Hybrid Sport-L for a few months and about 1,500 miles. Average MPG is 42.1 with 30% highway driving.
