Sharp Honda - What to Know About the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid

At Sharp Honda, we see the 2026 CR-V Hybrid as the crossover that balances everyday practicality with a genuinely engaging drive. It delivers confident acceleration, impressive efficiency, and the versatility families and commuters expect. Whether you are upgrading from an older SUV or making the switch to electrified driving for the first time, this model simplifies ownership with smart technology, flexible cargo space, and trims tailored to different lifestyles. Below, explore the highlights, trims, and shopping tips that help you choose the right CR-V Hybrid for your routine.

The heart of the CR-V Hybrid is its responsive hybrid powertrain—rated up to 204 horsepower on select trims—with immediate electric torque for confident merging and passing. Real Time AWD is available across the lineup, and it is standard on the TrailSport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid for added traction in rain, snow, and on loose surfaces. Drive modes such as Sport and Econ help you dial in the experience you want. On select hybrid trims, you can see ratings up to 40 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, giving you a crossover that sips fuel without sacrificing versatility.

Design and utility continue to be strong suits. The cabin is thoughtfully laid out, with supportive seating, generous rear legroom, and a flat cargo area that makes loading big-box hauls or weekend gear simple. A power tailgate with programmable height is standard on multiple trims, and the Sport Touring Hybrid adds hands-free access for grab-and-go convenience. Every trim includes a 9-inch color touch-screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless phone charger—so cords stay out of sight and your daily tech stays connected. For those who want deeper integration, Google built-in is standard on the Sport Touring Hybrid, bringing Google Assistant, Google Maps, and compatible apps directly to the dash.

Honda Sensing driver-assistive technology comes standard, supporting you with features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and collision-mitigation braking. The result is a crossover that feels composed on the highway and reassuring around town. If you value extra ground clearance and rugged styling, the TrailSport Hybrid adds a more adventurous look along with the confidence of standard AWD, while the Sport-L Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid emphasize comfort and premium touches for longer journeys.
