The Honda brand has a long-established tradition of providing safe, well-engineered, high-quality automobiles to the American public, and the CR-V compact SUV has embodied Honda’s commitment to excellence since its introduction in 1997. The 2025 Honda CR-V builds upon that legacy with a compact SUV that is efficient, comfortable, and loaded with modern technology.

3 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Honda CR-V

Peppy Power for Performance

The CR-V’s performance-driven power allows it to thrive on any driving surface. The CR-V incorporates a potent 16-valve DOHC VTEC Inline 4-cylinder with a Turbocharger and Dual Variable Timing Control. When paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission, the powerplant delivers 190 horsepower and 179 foot-pounds of torque to the CR-V’s FWD or AWD drivetrain. Its 3-mode drive system further customizes the ride for any driving conditions.

For those who prefer a hybrid powertrain, the CR-V has several trim levels that offer hybrid technology. The Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid all offer a dual-motor hybrid system that includes a 145-horsepower, 16-valve DOHC inline 4-cylinder with Dual Variable Timing Control alongside a 181-horsepower High Torque Traction Motor. The hybrid’s total system horsepower is rated at 204 horsepower.

Incredible Efficiency Powertrain Options

Another impressive feature of the CR-V is its hybrid and gasoline-only incarnations. The gas-powered CR-V with the turbocharged inline 4-cylinder is rated for 28 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway in its FWD configuration. The AWD edition of the CR-V also gets great mileage, with an estimated 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the open road. The hybrid versions of the CR-V take fuel efficiency to another level, however.

The hybrid FWD CR-V boasts an impressive 43 MPG in the city and 36 on the highway, while the AWD versions have an estimated fuel efficiency of 40 MPG in the city and 34 on the highway. Whether you choose the gas-only CR-V or hybrid, or the FWD or AWD version, the CR-V’s powertrain options can help maximize every drop of fuel in its 14-gallon fuel tank.

Loaded with Safety, Infotainment, and Driver-Assistance Features

The CR-V packs a lot of innovative infotainment, safety, and driver-assistance technology into a compact SUV package. It includes infotainment features to keep everyone connected, including a 160-watt, 4-speaker audio system, a 7-inch Color Touch Screen, a 7-inch Digital Instrument Cluster Screen, Bluetooth Hands-Free-Link and Streaming Audio, SMS Text Message Function, a Radio Data System, and Apple CarPlay and Android Audio capability.
