Driving Performance & Handling

The hybrid CR-V pairs 204 hp with a 7.9-second 0–60 — unhurried numbers that fit its brief, since this drivetrain is tuned for quiet, linear response rather than pace. AWD is standard on the Touring trim, and one working limit comes with the 3,768 lb package: towing is capped at 1,000 lb.

On-Road Price & Value for Money

Starting MSRP$39,850

At $39,850, the Sport Touring Hybrid tops out the compact-crossover price ladder, and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid it is judged against still wins on efficiency and resale. What the CR-V charges for is space — class-leading cargo and rear-seat room — plus the most refined cabin in this group.

Comparison with Rivals

Key competitors include the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.

The RAV4 Hybrid wins on efficiency and resale; the Tucson Hybrid looks bolder. The CR-V Hybrid is the most refined and roomiest.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Class-leading interior space

37 MPG combined hybrid

Refined cabin and ride

Strong safety scores

Cons

Towing only 1,000 lb

Not as efficient as RAV4 Hybrid

Pricey at top trim

Overall Rating

4.5 / 5 — the roomiest, most refined pick among compact hybrid crossovers; the 1,000 lb tow limit and a steep top-trim price cost it the final half point.
