Loving our 2026 Honda CRV-EX

We're retired, so big investments require a lot of thought & research before we spend our hard-earned retirement nest egg! Our Hyundai Kona was getting up in miles (almost 100K) so it was time to purchase a new vehicle, but we wanted an AWD SUV that was highly rated, reliable & long-lasting. After doing the research & test driving, there was one clear winner-the Honda CRV. We purchased a 2026 CRV EX last week & we love it!

Very impressed with the hybrid system. Stealthily transitions between gas to electric smoothly. I like the exterior design and love the interior dashboard. It is smooth, quite and responsive. It oozes with quality.

Style inside and out is great. Comfortable seats. All controls easy to understand and use. Test drive on bumpy city streets was very good, bumps handled well. Quiet ride even over rough streets. Didn't try highway driving, but expect it would also be comfortable and easy to control

I’ve only been driving it for a few days, but I really like the way it drives and feels.

Sold on the Honda Hybrid

A pleasure to drive. It is a smaller SUV but drives and handles smooth without the noisy engine asserted by the Edmunds review. Unless you put the pedal to the floor, then the engine will rev up and let you know you’re moving. Acceleration is good. Interior noise level on the highway is not bad for a small SUV. MPG for the latest 400 miles of mixed highway and city is 40.3 MPG. As advertised.

Looks Good Outside, Disappointing Inside

I bought the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport just two days ago, and I’m already extremely frustrated. Before this, I owned a 2017 Ford Explorer Limited, and the difference in quality is simply shocking. The CR-V’s interior feels rushed and careless: cheap, rough plastics, poorly cut panels with even sharp edges. The lower dashboard is so thin and flimsy it feels like it could break with a light touch. The carpet is embarrassingly low quality, and the trunk is poorly designed, with no molded lining to organize the space. To make matters worse, the tailgate doesn’t even open with the remote — something that should be standard in any modern car. The infotainment system is laughably basic, with very few features for a car at this price point. The USB ports are outdated and slow — and in 2026, not including a fast-charging USB-C is downright ridiculous. On top of that, there are no parking sensors, neither front nor rear, a feature that has become standard even in much cheaper vehicles. For nearly $40,000, the least you expect is quality and attention to detail. Instead, it feels like Honda only cared about cutting costs to increase profit. The result is a car that looks and feels cheap but is sold at a premium price. Sadly, this purchase has been a huge disappointment.

Sport Touring Still the Way to Go in the CRV

Don Paul, 08/14/2025
2025 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

I had leased (West Herr Honda Lockport) 7 consecutive high end Accords, until 2023 made it 1" too long for my garage. Switched to a 2023 CRV Sport Touring hybrid, and loved it. With 13 months still to go and very low mileage, the dealership offered a super early turn-in for the 2025 Sport Touring. In light of pending tariffs and the end of Sirius/XM in the 2026 ST, I opted to go with a 25. Other than not finding the color I wanted (the 26s weren't out yet), my 2025 is identically excellent since it's unchanged...except for a better horn. Still getting some dropouts on SXM signal as in the 23, but I read this happens with SXM in a couple of other brands. Road noise on coarse pavement is still too loud, but serene on smooth pavement. The Sport Touring is quieter than all other CRVs, still had SXM (gone for Google system in 26), and IMO the ST is worth the extra $ for the many other features not in the other hybrids...not even the Sport-L. (Bose premium sound, heated steering wheel, standard AWD, navigation, extra sound-proofing just to name a few). Great dealership, too. The CRV handles surprisingly well, the hybrid has great off-the-line torque, good greenhouse and, other than the occ'l SXM dropout, my 2 ST hybrids have been bulletproof. It may not have all the doo-dads of comparable Kia and Hyundai hybrids, but it has plenty, and the e-CVT is a pleasure...and Honda reliability on engines for the hybrids is superior. Good value, and I look forward to every drive...basically living up to EPA numbers in summer, sometimes better, and falling off some in winter and on extended highway drives. NO regrets.
