True Performance Choices
Having long boasted one of the most fuel efficient yet satisfying engines in the compact SUV class, the CR-V trim levels now include the hybrid editions.
With the 1.5L turbo, CR-V drivers command 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Ground clearance is an ample 7.8 or 8.2 inches. The standard system has a snow mode, and hill descent control is on board to help protect your transmission during downhill travel.
Fuel economy is a satisfying 30 mpg combined for turbo 2WD models. This is boosted to a remarkable 40 mpg combined with hybrid 2WD1.
Choosing the 2L hybrid, CR-V Phoenix drivers command a net 204 horsepower. Engine horsepower is 145 while the electric motors produce 181 horsepower. These unique side-by-side electric motors produce 247 lb-ft of torque. True to its trim level naming system, these hybrids add a Sport driving mode.
More than 197,000 Honda CR-V Hybrids sold in 2023, making it the best selling hybrid in the US. This SUV and its hybrid have been made in North America since fall 2022.

On the Sport-L and Sport Touring, glossy black exterior accents range from its larger wheels to its rectangular exhaust finishers. Some of our favorite exterior colors include Solar Silver Metallic and Canyon River Blue.
The interior is all about spaciousness. Just check out the Honda CR-V specs.
The front row has comfortable seating with 41.3 inches of legroom. Available power-adjustable chairs with power-heat add more comfort for the driver and front passenger. Second-row passengers will appreciate a remarkable 41 inches of legroom.
The LX promises a standard 106 cu ft of passenger volume while moonroof editions have 103.5 cu ft of passenger volume. Cargo holds offer up to 39.3 cu ft. As you can see the Honda CR-V offers Avondale families plenty of space for tall teens and big suitcases.
Advanced Technology
The standard touchscreen includes the additional connectivity supplied by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This 7-inch display is complemented by a 7-inch TFT Meter Display.
With the larger touchscreen, Honda CR-V features include HD Radio and available SiriusXM. Plus, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto don’t need to be plugged in. The Honda CR-V Sport Touring offers access to a WiFi hotspot and HondaLink Subscription Services. It also has Honda satellite navigation tools.
Everyone can stay plugged in with the EX dual front and dual rear-facing charging pots. A wireless charging pad is aboard the EX-L, Sport-L, and Sport Touring trim levels.
Safety as a Priority
The 2025 Honda CR-V emphasizes safety with the same vigor at the 2024 which was named a Top Safety Pick. Ten airbags, designed with the most advanced technology, promise next-level protections.
Parents will appreciate how Honda helps keep the kids safer. Examples include the rear seat reminder, the side rear airbags, and the LATCH system.
Packed with Honda Sensing standards, 2025 Honda CR-V features include a lane keeping assist system, a road departure mitigation system, a collision mitigation system, and related warnings. Traffic sign recognition helps the driver stay informed about important messages and speed limit changes. Automatic high beams alter the light as needed for the situation.
Additional systems monitor the SUV’s blind spot during forward travel. In reverse, the system monitors oncoming traffic on either side. Available low speed braking control responds to four front and four rear parking sensors.

The turbo engine is standard on the LX, EX and EX-L while the hybrid is standard for the Sport, Sport-L and Sport Touring. Nine vital Honda Sensing systems are standard on the LX. This includes commuter favorites: adaptive cruise control, low speed following and traffic jam assist.
