2026 Honda CR-V Elevates Efficiency and Power in New Generation!

The 2026 Honda CR-V brings fresh refinements to what has long been one of the most practical and efficient compact SUVs. The standard model is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, producing around 190 horsepower and returning an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway (27/31 mpg with AWD). For drivers focused on fuel economy, the hybrid version combines a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with two electric motors to produce 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque, delivering up to 40 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive form and 37 mpg combined in all-wheel drive.

Starting prices for 2026 begin around $32,315 for the gas model and $37,025 for the hybrid, with a rugged TrailSport hybrid trim arriving at about $40,195. Inside, the CR-V gets a tech boost: all trims now come equipped with a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a wireless phone charging pad. Higher hybrid trims like the Sport-L and Touring add a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster for a more premium feel.

The cabin is spacious and well-designed, using soft-touch materials and offering generous rear legroom. Cargo capacity remains strong, with the non-hybrid CR-V providing roughly 39.3 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and up to 76.5 cubic feet with them folded down. On the hybrid side, packaging slightly reduces the underfloor storage, but usability remains very good.

In terms of safety, Honda’s familiar Sensing suite is standard across the range, offering adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and more. The new TrailSport Hybrid trim gives the CR-V a more rugged look, adding 18-inch all-terrain tires, a beefed-up front fascia, and black exterior trim for off-road styling cues. All told, the 2026 CR-V manages to balance efficiency, practicality, and modern technology while introducing a more adventurous spirit in its new TrailSport variant.
