Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

Updated: 10/21/2025

The 2026 Honda CR-V is among America's most popular small SUVs. Conveniently, it's also one of our test team's top recommendations. You'll likely be pleased if you drive one. The CR-V is easy to drive, comfortable and roomy. It also gets impressive fuel economy of up to 40 mpg if you pick a CR-V with its available hybrid powertrain. The 2026 CR-V is largely unchanged from last year, though it does get a few more standard features and a new trim level called the TrailSport.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Very Good

7.7

out of 10

We drove the 2026 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

7.5/10

How does it 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

8.8/10

How comfortable is it? 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

8.4/10

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. The infotainment, with wireless phone connectivity, works quickly and is easy to navigate, but the standard 9-inch screen is dwarfed by some rival systems. It's unfortunate the Accord's 12.3-inch screen isn't available here. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a wireless charging pad are all standard, unlike in the Civic. You'll find loads of USB ports, too, with the exception of the base trim.

Storage & cargo

8.1/10

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 accommodate bulky objects.

Honda's interior storage might lack a large number of options, but it can still hold a significant amount of your stuff. It has ample phone storage area, good-sized cupholders, and a sizable under-armrest bin. The door pockets are a good size, too.

Hybrid models can tow up to 1,000 pounds, while their gas variants can handle 1,500 pounds. While that's not a considerable amount, most of its competitors have similar ratings.

Value

6.3/10

Is it 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.

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 gets up to 40 mpg; with all-wheel drive, that estimate drops to 37 mpg. We tested an AWD hybrid, and on our real-world evaluation route, it averaged a disappointing 33.3 mpg. That said, it's a highway-biased route, and most of the CR-V's rivals also underperformed in Edmunds' testing. 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 design-wise, 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.

2026 Honda CR-V trim level differences

The 2026 Honda CR-V is available in seven trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Sport Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid. The LX, EX and EX-L trims come with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the remaining trims use a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain for increased fuel economy. Most CR-V trims come with standard front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. The TrailSport and Sport Touring trims come with standard all-wheel drive. Compare the 2026 Honda CR-V trim levels in-depth.

Trim we recommend

For the money, it's hard to beat the EX-L. It's priced about halfway between the base trim and the top Sport Touring Hybrid, but it comes with plenty of daily comforts and conveniences such as a power liftgate, leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats and an upgraded sound system. If you want a hybrid version of the CR-V for its better mpg, check out the Sport-L. It has many of the EX-L's features.

Competitors to consider

Check out the Mazda CX-50. It's a little more fun to drive than the CR-V, especially when equipped with its available turbocharged engine. It also has a classier-looking interior. We're also keen on the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. Both are roomy and provide loads of value. Finally, there's the redesigned 2026 Toyota RAV4. It has fresh styling, big new touchscreens and standard hybrid power for great mpg.

Edmunds spotlight: TrailSport is mostly about style, not substance

For 2026, the CR-V now comes in a new TrailSport trim level. The TrailSport adopts a more rugged, off-roady look thanks to revised front-end styling, gray-painted wheels and black exterior accents. It also has all-terrain tires that can potentially provide more traction on loose surfaces. But with the exception of those tires, the TrailSport doesn't offer any additional trail-ready features or attitude. It doesn't get more ground clearance, for example, which is something that comes on the Wilderness version of the Subaru Forester. Sure, the TrailSport looks cooler than a regular CR-V. Just don't venture too far off the paved path.

2026 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

Fantastic vehicle and a huge upgrade from my 2019 CRV Touring, which was an excellent vehicle. 2026 is quiet, has a smooth ride, tremendous on gas, handles extremely well and has a straight forward, well-functioning infotainment system. Love my new vehicle. The new vehicle continues to impress me and is quite frankly an outstanding SUV!!!

Have a 2026 Sport Touring Hybrid CRV. Own a 2018 BMW X5 and have driven a 2026 BMW X3 service loaner and the CRV Sport-L. Noise - around town the Sport-L and Touring are both quiet. You can't notice the benefits of acoustic glass until you get on the interstate and go 70. The Touring has little to no wind noise. In comparison a 2026 X3 we had as a dealer loaner has noticeable wind …

Got the dark blue CR-V Hybrid Touring edition and couldn’t be happier. The car is the perfect combination of sporty and roomy without being a pain to park. Comes with Bose speakers and their sound makes such a difference; the sound fills the car with such clear and strong acoustics that you don’t need to turn up the volume too high. The interior is roomy allowing for passengers in the …

Unfortunately for me I had bought a 2023 Nissan Rogue SL Premium AWD with the VCT 3-cylinder engine that was supposed to be my last vehicle. Well Nissan recalled my Rogue because of possible engine failure due to bearing issues and they claimed it would be gradual wear. Owners however were having catastrophic failures while tooling down the highway causing an unsafe condition hence the …
