About the Honda CR-V Hybrid

The Honda CR-V isn’t just a favorite in its segment, it has been the best-selling CUV in America for more than twenty years. From its stylish looks to an interior that’s far roomier than you’ve been made to expect from a compact crossover, it’s easy to see why the CR-V is such a hit. The CR-V Hybrid adds excellent fuel economy to the mix, while the available all-wheel drive with Intelligent Control Systemâ„¢ lets you tackle adverse conditions with confidence. Equipment that costs extra on competitors comes standard on the CR-V Hybrid, like full LED headlights, and automatic climate control. This also includes the Honda Sensing® suite of driver aids and safety technology.

What the Critics Say

Yes, enjoyment. Easy, effort-free driving has always been something of a CR-V trait in previous generations. It’s still evident in this CR-V Hybrid, but we’ve discovered an added dimension to this king of the suburban road — which is a bit of a surprise, albeit a pleasant one. There’s a poise and agility to how the CR-V Hybrid drives, a perfect complement to this energetic drivetrain.” — Kelley Blue Book

The brakes work well in emergency situations and make it easy to stop smoothly. We also like the hybrid system’s smooth operation in city driving, though climbing long mountain grades can take a heavy foot. Around corners, the CR-V stays composed and under control. The responsive steering offers enough feedback to give you a good sense of what’s happening on the road.” — Edmunds

What’s New For 2025

While it remains the top choice among all compact hybrid SUVs, the Honda CR-V Hybrid returns for 2025 with zero updates or changes to report. You’ll still receive its legendary efficiency, sharp exterior styling, and innovative collection of tech and safety features across the entire model range. Germain Honda of College Hills is proud to be your number-one destination for all the latest CR-V Hybrid models.

Versatile Performance

With its 204-horsepower hybrid drivetrain, the CR-V Hybrid strikes an excellent balance between performance and fuel economy. With a combined rating of 40 mpg**, the CR-V Hybrid is outstanding in its segment. Available all-wheel drive means that snow and mud are no match for the CR-V Hybrid. In classic Honda fashion, the interior of the CR-V Hybrid is almost surprisingly roomy, and together with the 60/40 split-folding back seat, there’s lots of space for loading anything you need for whatever adventure the CR-V Hybrid can take you on. The 4-Mode Drive System lets you select Normal, Econ, Sport, or Snow, letting you get the most out of your CR-V Hybrid in a wider variety of situations.

Honda CR-V Hybrid Interior

High Tech Interior

One of the many reasons why the CR-V Hybrid is a huge hit is that it comes loaded with technology, much more than competitors offer in this segment. This includes a 7-inch digital Driver Information Interface Screen, as well as a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen (upgradable to 9 inches). You get Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, which works wirelessly with upgraded infotainment units. But the real strength of the CR-V is that the Honda Sensing® Technologies come standard. This means things like Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, and even Traffic Jam Assist come standard. Standard Active Noise Cancellation™ (ANC) keeps the cabin quiet, and additional standard equipment includes a one-touch power moonroof and a 240-watt stereo system.

Class-Leading Safety

The CR-V Hybrid offers an impressive list of safety features, and even more impressive, almost all of them are standard. Some of these features will cost extra, but many of them aren’t even available in this segment. The CR-V Hybrid’s Multi-Angle Rearview Camera is one of these features, as are the front knee airbags. The Honda Sensing® suite of technology adds things like the Collision Mitigation Braking Systemâ„¢ (CMBSâ„¢), Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM), and Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) to the list of standard safety equipment. With all of this, it’s no wonder that the CR-V is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+1.
