2027 Honda CR-V Test Drive

The 2027 Honda CR-V combines versatile utility, modern technology, and efficient powertrains in a popular compact crossover utility vehicle. The CR-V is available in LX, EX, and EX-L trims, along with hybrid-only Sport, Trail Sport, Sport L, and Sport Touring models. The CR-V features a wide stance and an adventurous appearance, highlighted by a low horizontal belt line, bold upright grille, and standard automatic LED headlights. A body-colored rear spoiler and vertical signature tail lights complete the sporty look. The Trail Sport adds trim-specific styling, distinctive exterior accents, and all-terrain tires. The spacious five-seat cabin of the CR-V features a modern, uncluttered design with quality materials, available leather-trimmed seats, and metal honeycomb mesh accents. True to its utility vehicle nature, the CR-V offers up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. A standard 9-inch touchscreen includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, while Google built-in is standard on the Sport Touring Hybrid. Select hybrid trims feature a 10.2-inch digital instrument display, and the Sport Touring Hybrid includes a Bose premium audio system. Gas-powered CR-V models use a 190-horsepower, 1.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission. Hybrid trims combine a two-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors to produce a net 204 horsepower. Both engines send power to standard front-wheel drive or optional real-time all-wheel drive through a continuously variable transmission. A standard snow driving mode optimizes traction in slick conditions. Here are the highest and lowest estimates for fuel economy. The Honda Sensing suite of active safety and driver assistive technologies comes standard and includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, and lane keeping assist. Blind spot monitoring and cross traffic monitoring are available. The CR-V comes with a three-year 36,000 mile basic warranty and a five-year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. Reporting on the CR-V Trail Sport, Green Cars wrote, It's all-independent suspension works really well, and when I was driving up into the mountains on some curving roads, it was clear Honda's engineers know a thing or two about vehicle dynamics. The 2027 Honda CR-V blends everyday versatility, modern technology, and efficient powertrains with rugged looks and off-pavement capability.
