Overview

Written by automotive expert Brent Romans

3/9/2026

The Honda CR-V is Honda's best-seller for a reason — it's got plenty of space, the hybrid nets great fuel efficiency, and the interior is about as user-friendly as modern cars get. As if that wasn't enough, the CR-V is actually one of the best-driving crossovers in its class. We like how responsive the steering is and there is genuine fun underneath the pedestrian bodywork. If you're someone who wants more than just a people hauler out of their family car, the CR-V is worth a closer look.

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. Read our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more.

What’s it like to live with?

Honda loaned us a 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid for a One-Year Road Test. Even though these notes are on an earlier model year, we think the general observations still apply. We were disappointed in the fuel economy, which seems like a big problem for a hybrid. Ultimately, you get minimal improvements by purchasing the hybrid while also tacking on some drawbacks, like sluggish acceleration, you won't find on the regular CR-V.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Ryan ZumMallen

Very Good

7.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Honda CR-V on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

7.3/10

How does the Honda 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 and simulated gears in typical 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. The ride quality is one of this SUV's greatest strengths.

Visibility is a mixed bag (big windows up front, not a great view in back, good parking cameras), and while the advanced driver assist features work well, rivals offer a lot more of them.

Comfort

8.2/10

How comfortable is the Honda CR-V? The CR-V interior 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. Front seat comfort and adjustability are very good. The rear seat offers above-average legroom for an SUV, regardless of segment, and is excellent for installing car seats. 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.

Vehicle controls are easy to reach and to see, especially the physical climate controls that can be used without looking.

In-cabin tech

6.4/10

How’s the tech? The CR-V offers plenty of usable tech features, but on the whole it's a half-step behind the curve. 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 with the bigger screen. The Sport Touring's integrated navigation system has basic-looking maps but otherwise provides helpful routing and guidance. It's unfortunate the Accord's 12.3-inch screen isn't available here. The CR-V comes with a lot of USB ports, with the exception of the base trim.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Honda CR-V for March

If you're considering purchasing a 2025 Honda CR-V, here are some tips to help you negotiate the best deal.

Buyers are typically paying less than the MSRP for the 2025 Honda CR-V across its trims, with savings reaching up to about 8.7% for the EX-L trim, translating to savings of approximately $3,051. This can give you a solid starting point to negotiate a price closer to what others are paying.
While there are no generally available cash rebates for the 2025 Honda CR-V, qualified buyers such as military personnel or recent college graduates can take advantage of a $500 rebate. Make sure to ask about these incentives if you qualify.
The 2025 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid trim is taking more time to sell, with cars staying on dealer lots for an average of 420 days. This slower sales pace suggests there may be more room for negotiation on this particular trim.
For those interested in leasing, the median monthly payment for a 2025 Honda CR-V lease is around $426, with approximately $3,501 due at signing. Knowing these numbers can help ensure you're getting a competitive lease offer.

Storage & cargo

7.4/10

How’s storage and cargo? The CR-V has above-average cargo space for a small SUV, although the hybrid has less space than the gas-only models and no spare tire. While not especially deep, the cargo area has plenty of width and vertical height to help you fit bulky objects.

Honda took a step back with interior storage, but it's still quite functional with an ample phone storage area, good-sized cupholders and a sizable under-armrest bin. The door pockets are a good size, too.

Value

6.3/10

Is the Honda 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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG

7/10

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 during which the CR-V can better take advantage of its hybrid powertrain.

X factor

7/10

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, it can be enjoyable to drive in spurts thanks to responsive controls and solid handling for a crossover.

2025 Honda CR-V trim level differences

The 2025 Honda CR-V is available in six trim levels: LX, EX, Sport, EX-L, Sport-L and Sport Touring. The LX, EX and EX-L trims come with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the Sport, Sport-L and Sport Touring use a hybrid powertrain for improved fuel economy. Most CR-V trims have standard front-wheel drive and offer all-wheel drive as an option. The exception is the Sport Touring that comes with standard AWD. Keep reading for a more detailed look at the significant features that come on each trim. Compare the 2025 Honda CR-V trim levels in-depth.

Which CR-V trim 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.
