Honda cr-v

For day-to-day urban driving, the 2026 Honda CR-V is one of the sharper, more satisfying crossovers on the market, and the TrailSport’s all-terrain tires don’t change this.

Calling to the fact that cars and trucks are only getting harder to see out of, a new technique developed by IIHS quantifies visibility for easy comparison of models of all ages.

Honda expanded its off-road-oriented TrailSport trim to the CR-V compact SUV for 2026, updating the rest of the lineup with a newly standard 9-inch touchscreen and wireless phone charger.

The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are age-old rivals, and with the debut of the all-new 2026 RAV4, we wanted to see how the specs of the two compare.

The Honda CR-V hybrid has few standout features beyond its exceptionally smooth drivetrain, but it offers a nice blend of space, comfort, utility, fuel economy and driving dynamics.

There’s not lots to talk about for the 2026 Honda CR-V, with one major exception: the new-for-CR-V TrailSport trim, which is the latest off-road-focused edition in Honda’s growing outdoorsy adventure lineup.

Honda’s runaway bestseller and the fifth most popular vehicle in the U.S., the CR-V is getting a few tech upgrades and a new TrailSport trim level for the 2026 model year.

If you’re shopping for a new car, chances are you’re considering one or more of the seven compact SUVs in this comparison test. See how each SUV did in both subjective and objective categories.

As in prior contests, our complaints with the Rogue were few, and the SUV’s good-to-great performance in most of our scored categories is a testament to its all-around goodness.

We took seven compact SUVs recently on a roughly 250-mile fuel economy drive to measure their road-trip efficiency in a real-world setting.
