2027 Honda CR-V: What Changed from 2026 to 2027?

What Changed from 2026 to 2027?

The 2027 CR-V’s launch prices and destination charge increased from the 2026 model, with a larger MSRP increase for LX than for the other trims.

2027 Honda CR-V launch price changes from 2026
Price item Change from 2026 to 2027 at launch
LX, either drivetrain MSRP increased $600
Every other configuration MSRP increased $400
Destination charge Increased $100

The trim names and offered drivetrain combinations match between the 2026 and 2027 models. Published EPA city, highway and combined ratings match for each corresponding configuration. Gas engine output and hybrid total-system horsepower also match.

2027 Honda CR-V: Powertrains, Drive and Mileage

Powertrains, Drive and Mileage

The 2027 CR-V gas powertrain uses a turbocharged engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The hybrid combines a gas engine and electric motors, with higher EPA mileage ratings than the gas version.

2027 Honda CR-V gas and hybrid powertrain specifications
Specification Gas trims Hybrid trims
Engine 1.5-liter turbo 4-cylinder 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder with a 2-motor hybrid system
Horsepower 190 hp at 6,000 rpm 204 total system hp
Transmission or drive unit CVT Direct Drive Unit
Fuel Regular unleaded Regular unleaded

Choose the hybrid when fuel economy is your priority. Keep the gas version in consideration when cargo volume or towing capacity matters more. Compare cargo volume for the hybrid trim you are considering in the table below.

For mileage, compare the same drivetrain first. The FWD hybrid choices have higher ratings than their AWD counterparts. TrailSport has its own EPA ratings, so use its row rather than another AWD hybrid’s figures.

2027 Honda CR-V: Which Trim Should You Choose?

Which Trim Should You Choose?

Choose your 2027 CR-V trim based on the comfort, parking and technology features you want with your preferred powertrain.

2027 Honda CR-V: LX or EX for a Gas CR-V

LX or EX for a Gas CR-V

Choose LX if you want the lowest MSRP at Launch and can do without heated front seats, blind-spot information and dual-zone climate control. LX has manually adjusted front-seat height and steel wheels with covers.

We would start with EX if heated front seats and everyday comfort features are on your list. EX adds a power driver’s seat and key-fob remote engine start. Dual-zone climate control and a power moonroof are also included. It also includes Blind Spot Information and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor.

2027 Honda CR-V: Comfort Equipment or Hybrid Power?

Comfort Equipment or Hybrid Power?

EX-L builds on the gas EX with leather-trimmed seats and driver’s seat memory. It also adds a power passenger seat and a power tailgate. It includes Low Speed Braking Control and 8 parking sensors.

Sport Hybrid includes heated front seats, a power driver’s seat and a moonroof. It does not include leather-trimmed seats, a power tailgate or that parking equipment.

Sport Hybrid costs $230 more in MSRP at Launch than EX-L with the same drivetrain. Choose EX-L for its cabin and parking equipment. Choose Sport Hybrid if the hybrid powertrain matters more than those features.

Sport-L Hybrid is the next trim to consider if you want hybrid power with leather-trimmed seats. It includes driver’s seat memory and a power passenger seat. A power tailgate and the same parking equipment as EX-L are also included.

2027 Honda CR-V: TrailSport or Sport Touring?

TrailSport or Sport Touring?

TrailSport includes all-terrain tires and a heated steering wheel. It also has a power tailgate and amber ambient lighting. Choose it for that equipment combination; leather-trimmed seats and the EX-L’s parking equipment are not included.

Sport Touring is the choice for Google built-in, Bose audio and a hands-free power tailgate. Its Bose system has 12 speakers. Google built-in includes a 3-month unlimited data plan for in-vehicle apps. Leather-trimmed seats, a heated steering wheel and rain-sensing windshield wipers are also included.

For a quick decision: start with EX for gas comfort features, EX-L for additional cabin and parking equipment, or Sport-L for those priorities with hybrid power. Choose TrailSport for all-terrain tires or Sport Touring for Google built-in and Bose audio.

2027 Honda CR-V: Seating, Cargo and Towing

Seating, Cargo and Towing

Every 2027 CR-V has a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback. Front headroom varies by trim, while published legroom is the same across the lineup.

2027 Honda CR-V front and rear headroom and legroom
Measurement Front row Rear row
LX headroom 40.0 inches 38.2 inches
Headroom in every other trim 38.2 inches 38.2 inches
Legroom in every trim 41.3 inches 41 inches

LX is worth considering if front headroom is a deciding factor. Moving up the trim range adds equipment without increasing the published legroom.

Gas CR-V trims offer more cargo volume than the hybrid configurations listed here.

2027 Honda CR-V cargo volume and maximum towing by configuration
CR-V configuration Cargo behind second row Maximum cargo behind first row Maximum towing
Gas trims, FWD or AWD 39.3 cubic feet 76.5 cubic feet 1,500 pounds
Sport Hybrid and Sport-L Hybrid, FWD or AWD 36.3 cubic feet 71.8 cubic feet 1,000 pounds
TrailSport Hybrid AWD 36.3 cubic feet 71.8 cubic feet 1,000 pounds

Accessory towing equipment is required. Gas trims have a higher towing limit than every hybrid trim.

For example, a total trailer load of 1,200 pounds exceeds every CR-V hybrid’s stated towing limit. It falls below the gas trims’ stated maximum, but that comparison alone does not establish suitability for a particular trailer or towing setup. If your requirements exceed the CR-V’s seating or towing limits, choose a different vehicle.

2027 Honda CR-V: Technology and Safety

Technology and Safety

Every 2027 CR-V includes a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Qi wireless phone charger. You can choose a trim around seating and powertrain preferences without giving up that phone connectivity.

The touchscreen is separate from the driver’s instrument display. LX, EX and Sport Hybrid use a 7-inch instrument display; every other trim has a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster.

Honda Sensing is standard throughout the CR-V lineup and includes:

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System and Forward Collision Warning
  • Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist
  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and Traffic Jam Assist
  • Traffic Sign Recognition and Auto High Beam Headlights

Blind Spot Information and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor are included on every trim except LX. Parking sensors and Low Speed Braking Control are included on EX-L, Sport-L Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) lists these crash-test ratings for the 2027 CR-V’s gas and hybrid variants in FWD and AWD.

2027 Honda CR-V NHTSA crash-test ratings for gas and hybrid variants in FWD and AWD
NHTSA rating category Stars
Overall 5
Frontal crash 4
Side crash 5
Rollover 4

The overall rating is separate from the individual test-category ratings. Use both when comparing crash-test results.
