Performance That Suits Your Pace
The 2025 Honda HR-V and CR-V offer confident performance but cater to slightly different driving needs. The 2025 Honda HR-V has a 158-hp engine and available Real Time AWD™, making it an excellent option for everyday commuting, weekend getaways, and light off-road capability when needed. With up to 32 MPG on the highway in 2WD models, it balances efficiency with versatility.
The 2025 Honda CR-V has a 190-hp turbocharged engine and an available 3-mode drive system, including Snow and ECON modes — ideal if you need more power for highway driving or weather changes. Even with the added boost, it still delivers impressive fuel economy, offering up to 34 MPG on the highway.
Technology and Safety You Can Count On
The Honda HR-V and CR-V come standard with a 7-inch color touchscreen and compatibility with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so staying connected on the go is easy. Bluetooth® streaming audio, push-button start, and front USB ports are standard in both models.
The Honda CR-V adds a little extra in the details. It includes a Traffic Sign Recognition system and the full Honda Sensing® suite shared by both SUVs—including Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Lane Keeping Assist. If extra driver alerts are your priority, that may be a deciding factor.
Still, the Honda HR-V is well-equipped right out of the gate and includes the same core safety features and tech, making it a strong choice for drivers who value simplicity with peace of mind.
Comfort and Versatility Inside
Inside the cabin, the Honda HR-V and CR-V offer comfortable cloth seating, automatic climate control, and seating for up to five. The 2025 HR-V features heated, body-colored side mirrors and a clean, modern layout that's easy to navigate. Its 4-speaker, 180-watt audio system gives you more sound power for your playlists or podcasts.
The Honda CR-V, meanwhile, adds versatility with a reclining, fold-down 60/40 split rear seatback — perfect for loading gear or adjusting for passengers. While its audio system offers a slightly lower wattage at 160, the CR-V's broader interior layout can feel roomier for those needing extra space for longer drives or growing families. In both models, the attention to comfort and layout makes daily driving enjoyable without overcomplicating things.
Two Smart Choices, One Easy Decision
Whether you prefer the sporty efficiency of the HR-V or the added power and flexibility of the CR-V, you'll find a well-rounded Honda SUV built to support your lifestyle. The HR-V shines as a nimble, value-driven option perfect for solo drivers or smaller households. The CR-V brings extra power and versatility for those needing more space or long-distance capability.
