CR-V
As America’s best-selling crossover over the last 28 years, the 2026 Honda CR-V continues to win over drivers with a proven blend of reliability, technology, and versatility. It’s designed for life on the go, with up to 39.3 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats (and 76.5 cubic feet with the seatback folded forward), giving it more cargo space than the Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue.
The refreshed 2026 lineup brings even more to the table, especially on the entry-level trim. For starters, there are new wheel designs for the whole lineup. The LX now has a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen along with wireless device charging and wireless versions of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the EX-L has been upgraded with a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. Plus, Honda has made updates to its Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System to retain the CR-V’s leading on-road dynamics.
