What Are the 2026 Honda CR-V’s Powertrain Specs and MPG?
Gas-only CR-Vs are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder making 190 horsepower and 179 pounds-feet of torque and backed by a continuously variable automatic transmission. Hybrid models get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors good for total system output of 204 hp and 247 pounds-feet, also mated with a CVT.
Front-wheel drive is standard on most CR-V trim levels. AWD costs $1,500 on all but the TrailSport and Sport Touring Hybrid, where it is standard. Honda claims slightly different fuel-economy figures from 2025, with the turbo four returning an estimated 28/33/30 mpg city/highway/combined with front-drive and 27/31/29 with AWD. FWD hybrid models are rated at 43/36/40 and AWD hybrids at 40/34/37. The TrailSport’s all-terrain tires knock it down to 38/33/35 mpg. Official fuel-economy estimates from the EPA are, however, not yet available.
