Overview: Honda CR-V Hybrid
204 hp, 40 MPG, AWD optional. The smart family SUV.
The 2026 CR-V Hybrid uses Honda's two-motor hybrid system to produce 204 horsepower and return up to 40 MPG combined with FWD. With AWD, you'll still see 37 MPG — better than the gas-only CR-V achieves in pure highway driving. The Sport-L and Sport Touring Hybrid trims are the volume sellers in the CR-V lineup for good reason: they're better-equipped, better-driving, and better-MPG than the gas equivalents for only a modest premium.

How It Compares to Competitors
The CR-V Hybrid's main rivals are the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. RAV4 Hybrid is more efficient (39 vs 40, basically tied) but less spacious. Hyundai's Tucson Hybrid offers more standard features per dollar but lower long-term reliability scores.
Expert Review
After 1,500 miles in a Sport Touring Hybrid AWD, we averaged 38 MPG and never had to think about the powertrain. This is the family SUV we'd recommend to almost anyone.
