2025 Honda CR-V
The past few decades have been a boon for the SUV segment and the drivers who choose such models. The SUV revolution, which kicked off in the early 2000s, might never have reached its zenith had it not been for the Honda CR-V. Debuting in the mid-1990s, the CR-V was unique among SUV designs, favoring a slimmed-down size and a powertrain geared more toward fuel efficiency than raw power. Many SUV designs have since mirrored that of the CR-V, but this nameplate continues to provide drivers with a uniquely fulfilling experience behind the wheel.
As the new model year is underway, the 2025 Honda CR-V faces considerable competition, not to mention changing customer demands. Honda has always been willing to adapt to evolving trends, and the 2025 CR-V offers the vehicle-buying public everything they could ask for in a highly functional vehicle at an affordable price that makes it accessible to any driver. Available as both a conventional model and a hybrid, the CR-V comes in multiple trims that can adhere to any driver's needs, regardless of their preferences and specifications for an ideal SUV.

Performance
Handling and Fuel Efficiency
Since its debut, the Honda CR-V has thrived on a design that emphasizes fuel efficiency more than raw power yet still contains a formidable amount of might to make time behind the wheel enjoyable. The CR-V can come in two different powertrain configurations, one of which is a hybrid, ideal for drivers looking to maximize fuel efficiency. Furthermore, available AWD allows CR-V owners to embark on adventures off the pavement. No matter which version of the CR-V you decide on, you're getting the best that Honda offers.
The non-hybrid 2025 Honda CR-V comes equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque and pairs with a CVT for optimal fuel economy figures. EPA testing shows that non-hybrid CR-Vs in front-wheel drive achieve an estimated 28 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, for an average of 30 MPG combined.[b] In all-wheel drive, the traditional powertrain gets an EPA-estimated 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, for 28 MPG combined, which are excellent figures for an all-wheel drivetrain.[b]
Drivers who opt for the hybrid version of the CR-V get a considerable upgrade in performance and how far they can travel between fill-ups. The available hybrid powertrain consists of a 2.0L four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT and electric motors producing 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. The EPA estimates that this hybrid powertrain can help drivers achieve 43 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway for an average of 40 MPG combined.[b] In all-wheel drive, this hybrid powertrain gets an EPA-estimated 40 MPG in the city, 34 MPG on the highway, and 37 MPG combined, which are incredible figures for an all-wheel drivetrain.[b]
Front-wheel drive is standard for all 2025 CR-V trims except the Sport Touring trim, which comes with Honda's Intelligent AWD as standard, though this technology is available on the other trims. Non-hybrid versions of the 2025 Honda CR-V have three available driving modes—Econ, Normal, and Snow—whereas hybrid versions have a fourth driving mode—Sport—which allows them to have a more agile and performance-oriented experience behind the wheel.
The 2025 CR-V is off-road-capable right out of the gate, as all trims come with Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control to help drivers navigate difficult inclines. AWD versions of the Honda CR-V have over eight inches of ground clearance to help avoid obstacles that might impact their adventures. Regarding light towing applications for recreational activities, the non-hybrid version of the CR-V works best with a 1,500-lb capacity that outdoes the 1,000-lb capacity of the hybrid powertrain.
Interior
Design and Technology
Many attributes make SUVs popular among drivers. One thing that hasn't changed about the appeal of the SUV segment has been these models' ability to offer plenty of seating and storage for families. The modern driver tends to expect more from the interior of an SUV, such as access to the apps and technologies that make time spent behind the wheel more enjoyable. Always eager to deliver on the expectations of its customers, Honda finds a way to reward on both of these fronts, ensuring that you get everything you're looking for with the purchase of a 2025 CR-V.
The infotainment screen is the hub for the tech drivers depend on. Honda ensures its customers can access the apps and other items they need for the road ahead, as base trims of the 2025 CR-V come with a seven-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, streaming audio via Bluetooth, and speed-sensitive volume compensation. All trims also have access to HondaLink, a technology that connects the CR-V directly to your smartphone for greater convenience. Upper trims benefit from a larger nine-inch touchscreen that also has SiriusXM and HD Radio.
How drivers entertain themselves on the road has advanced considerably in recent years, but the necessity of an impressive stereo has remained consistent. The 2025 CR-V gives you access to an exceptional stereo system, depending on which trim you choose. The base trim comes with a four-speaker system with 160 watts of power, while some of the upper trims make use of a 240-watt system with six speakers for further audio quality. Two more systems can be found on the top three trims, the first two of which have an eight-speaker system, while the highest trim gets twelve speakers and a subwoofer from the experts at Bose.
Besides the multiple items that enhance the experience behind the wheel, the 2025 Honda CR-V is also big on practicality regarding its storage capacity. Even with both rows of seating occupied, the CR-V offers 39.3 cu.ft. of storage room, which is more than double the average trunk size of a four-door sedan. You get 76.5 cu.ft. of storage space when the rear seats are folded, making the 2025 CR-V adept at transporting passengers and cargo easily.
Safety
Driving Assistance Features
Much has changed regarding the SUV segment since the early 2000s, but one consistent trend has been the importance of safety and the inclusion of driving assistance features that provide oversight and protection. Honda has a reputation for building vehicles that are not only dependable but safe, and the 2025 CR-V is no exception. All trims come standard with a broad range of features in the Honda Sensing suite, providing greater peace of mind.
The Honda Sensing suite provides all drivers with the necessary tools for safe travel. One of the most crucial aspects of safe driving is adequate reaction time to prevent a potential collision. Reaction time is enhanced through items such as Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System, which is further accentuated by the Forward Collision Warning. Driving lengthy stretches of highway is made easier thanks to the inclusion of Adaptive Cruise Control, which autonomously adjusts your speed in accordance with traffic patterns.
Other features are included to provide further protection and oversight, such as a Lane-Keeping Assist System to ensure you maintain your correct position on the road. Honda Sensing's advanced capabilities don't end there, as Traffic Jam Assist and a Traffic Sign Recognition are also included to provide additional oversight, and a Driver Attention Monitor can help mitigate driver fatigue.
Select trims of the 2025 Honda CR-V have more advanced items, such as front and rear parking systems and low-speed braking control. Standard on all CR-Vs (with the exception of the base trim) is a Cross-Traffic Monitor and a Blind-Spot Information System to increase awareness. With such a broad range of driving assistance features, the 2025 Honda CR-V is an excellent choice for drivers who prioritize safety.
