The interior is upscale, the exterior is eye catching, the fuel economy is amazing, the cabin is super quiet, it is loaded with technology, even when using nav through Apple wireless Play it also shows the navigation info on the instrument cluster as well. The Sport L has wireless charge and wireless Apple Play so you do not need to go to the Touring unless you want the 12 speaker Bose and 19" wheels. I worked for Goodyear for 30 years and 18" inch wheels are plenty large and cost less. The ride quality is firm but comfortable and the seats have memory and lumbar and even the passenger front has electric adjust. I have owned three Toyotas, two Hondas, and a Mitsubishi and they are all reliable, I did my research before buying and the Honda was by far the best vehicle.

What, no compass on a high end SUV or satellite XM radio? Poor gas mileage for an hybrid.
First SUV I have owned without a compass but you do get Leather seats. Not sure where they get 37 mpg all around. First fill up while driving ECO mode 25mpg Second fill up, drove like a granny, 29.5 mpg Third fill up everyone honked at me for driving so slow, 31 mpg. I guess you get 37 mpg being towed half way. I only 500 miles on my CR-V Sport L hybrid, hopefully the MPG will improve!

Everything by the Hybrid power plant
Hybrid engine
The mileage is abysmal, the motor is noisy and quirky to an annoying degree, and the transitions and transmission are jumpy. It is awful to drive around town, and I am light-footed with the motor kicking in and out. There is no incremental benefit for the extra cost of a hybrid. The vehicle is excellent, comfortable, and the instrumentation is better, but the hybrid power plant is a deal-killer.
A brand new 2026 Honda CRV hybrid and the radio has super poor reception of SiriusXM. The streaming quality of SiriusXM is highly variable- plainly just doesn’t work. I contacted my salesperson 3x and eventually the person said - no fix. Perhaps, fix will be coming. This performance is really annoying since I like to listen to SiriusXM when driving. Honda really blew it on introducing this feature.
The snow mode works great
Way overpriced for what you get
So I traded in my Rav4 for this, not sure i did the right thing. I purchased it new (2025 crv hybrid sport), from the first drive home it had steering that was off, I put that in Hondas survey they sent, along with the sunroof leaking when I went thru the car wash, but no answer or anyone to reach out to me. I was supposed to have 2 free oil changes in the first year, but definitely did not. Said they're only free if your oil is at 60% or less. The android auto doesn't work, never has. The dealership couldn't figure it out before we left so I said I'll figure it out later. Still haven't. The EV noise in it is so loud it's almost embarrassing. Heads turn when I pull in a parking lot. The backup camera isn't the greatest. The wipers are horrible, it sprays the fluid out of the wipers instead of the bottom of the windshield, so the fluid only goes to one side of the windshield- the drivers side. My rav4 was 4 years older than this new car but the rav definitely had way more mods and options on it. Only good thing about this crv is the fact it has snow mode and it really does go good in the snow. My moms driveway is a steep icy hill when it shows, it goes great up her driveway and thats saying something. Other than that, im wishing id kept the rav-if it'd been AWD i would have... overall I'd say this car is way overpriced for what it is. They got me...
My brand new CRV sport has a high pitched ringing sound when you drive at a certain speed. Have had the car for just over a month, been to dealer 3 times who finally threw their hands up in the air because they don't know what it is and try to tell me I just have to live with it that this car makes that sound and they don't know why. DO NOT BUY unless you want to feel like you are taking a hearing test every time you drive your CRV hybrid around town with high frequency faint beeping noise, enough to drive anyone crazy. If this is normal Honda should expect a class action lawsuit soon. Hondas are made so cheap now and way overpriced.
Drives perfectly smooth. Zero issues. I’ve been wanting a CRV for a while and for the price it’s the best car that I could find!

Endless repairs, doesn't run well, terrible gas mileage, two months in shop so far
This thing has been horrible ever since I drove it off the lot. It has spent nearly two months in the shop for all kinds of issues, mostly electronic and safety, and repairs don't seem to be making a difference. It runs poorly, stalls, and gas mileage is terrible especially for a Hybrid. I used to love Honda cars, but I'll never buy one again.
