Performance That Matches Your Pace
The 2026 Honda CR-V offers more muscle with a 190-hp turbocharged engine paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). For drivers who frequently commute, tackle long drives, or want the flexibility of available Real Time AWD™, the CR-V provides a confident, composed ride. The CR-V also comes with a 3-Mode Drive System featuring Snow and ECON Modes, allowing you to adjust how the vehicle responds based on driving conditions or your efficiency goals.
The 2026 Honda HR-V, on the other hand, features a 158-hp engine and also offers available Real Time AWD™. It’s an excellent option for those who prioritize city driving or prefer a smaller footprint without sacrificing control in bad weather. An added benefit is the Hill Descent Control, which comes standard, giving you more support on steep declines or uneven terrain.
Smart Technology Comes Standard
Both the 2026 CR-V and HR-V deliver when it comes to tech, offering the kind of seamless connectivity that drivers now expect. Each model includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, Bluetooth® streaming audio, and a large 9-inch color touchscreen for easy navigation of apps, calls, and media. You’ll also find push-button start and wireless phone charging available in both lineups, adding everyday convenience whether you're heading to work or out of town for the weekend.
Where the difference comes in is how you like your interior tech organized. The HR-V includes front and center console USB ports, making it easier to manage passenger charging needs. The CR-V features front USB ports and also consists of a larger range of trims, including hybrid options, so you can select the tech layout that fits your exact driving style.
Interior Design with Everyday Flexibility
The Honda CR-V leans into versatility with a more spacious layout, ideal for families or anyone who regularly carries gear, groceries, or passengers. Its reclining, fold-down 60/40 split rear seatback makes it easy to adapt the cargo space on the fly. You’ll also find automatic climate control, cloth seating, and a thoughtfully laid-out cabin designed to balance driver comfort with passenger room.
The Honda HR-V, while more compact, doesn’t skip out on comfort. It also comes with cloth seats, automatic climate control, and a slightly upgraded 4-speaker, 180-watt audio system that offers a solid in-cabin listening experience. It’s an excellent match for solo drivers, couples, or city commuters who want maneuverability without sacrificing interior quality.
