TrailSport Hybrid shown in Canyon River Blue Metallic with Honda Genuine Accessories. 

Hybrid performance meets rugged, all-terrain capability.

With 8.2 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, rugged styling, and 204-horsepower,* the CR-V TrailSport Hybrid handles adventures with confidence. Car and Driver expects the CR-V to set a new standard for versatile capability in its class. Competitors like the Hyundai Tucson XRT, Subaru Forester Wilderness, and Chevrolet Equinox don’t offer adventure-focused hybrid trims.

Flexible space for your next adventure.

With up to 76.5 cu ft of cargo capacity,* the CR-V has plenty of room for your active lifestyle. From camping gear to groceries, packing is simple and convenient. The CR-V provides more cargo space than the RAV4, Equinox, Sportage, and Forester.

Everyone enjoys first-class seating.

The roomy interior of the CR-V offers up to 106 cu ft of passenger volume and 41.3 inches of front legroom, providing a relaxed ride for all. The spacious, thoughtfully designed cabin gives a clear sense of what the CR-V stands for — comfort, versatility, and practicality. The Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, and Chevrolet Equinox do not offer as much passenger volume.

Precision with every turn.

Agile Handling Assist comes standard with the CR-V, helping you navigate every turn with confidence with enhanced stability and steering precision. The CR-V earned the title of #1 Best 2-Row SUV from Kelly Blue Book, praised for its confident handling and versatile performance. This feature does not come standard with the Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, or Chevrolet.

Premium details create a refined cabin experience.

From bold exterior LED lights to the available one-touch power moonroof, the design of the CR-V is both modern and functional. Inside, premium interior finishes such as available leather trim and a heated steering wheel give the cabin a polished feel that enhances every drive. Car and Driver calls the CR-V a standout for style and sophistication in the hybrid compact SUV segment.

Enjoy advanced connectivity and immersive audio.

Available Google built-in* connectivity gives you access to real-time navigation with Google Maps and voice-guided help from Google Assistant—all without taking your eyes off the road. With a 12-speaker Bose Premium Sound System,* the CR-V transforms every drive into an immersive experience. Competitors like the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, and Subaru Forester don’t offer the same combination of connected technology and audio performance.
