What’s New for 2026?
The 2026 Honda CR-V receives technology upgrades, including a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone connectivity as standard on all trims. All-wheel-drive models also feature improved off-road traction, and new 18-inch wheels are available.
Engine and Transmission
The 2026 CR-V comes standard with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that cranks out 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Higher trims feature a hybrid setup that pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with two electric motors, delivering 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are matched with a seamless continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an option. The base engine reaches 60 mph in 8.7 seconds, while the hybrid trims cut that time to 7.9 seconds. The CR-V offers a comfortable ride and supports up to 1,500 pounds of towing.
Fuel Economy
The 2026 Honda CR-V is a strong contender for those prioritizing fuel efficiency. EPA estimates place the hybrid front-wheel-drive model at 43 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. Opting for all-wheel drive lowers those figures to 40 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. Models equipped with the 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive are rated at 28 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, while the all-wheel-drive version sees a slight dip to 26 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.
