2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Honda completely redesigned the CR-V Hybrid for 2023 and added new standard safety features and more comfort. Along with more dynamic styling and an improved all-wheel-drive system, the automaker added a stronger hybrid powertrain. Some of the popular SUVs improvements come as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety continues to beef up its crash test standards. The CR-V features an updated body structure designed to better deflect crash energy and improve occupant protection during a variety of different types of collisions, as well as more airbags and more standard active safety and driver assistance features, including a driver attention monitoring system and a rear seat reminder.
