New 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring

This Honda CR-V Hybrid has a strong Gas/Electric I-4 2.0 L/122 engine powering this Variable transmission. The interior is nice and space is excellent. The back-up camera quality is poor. The hybrid engine is slow and loud. It takes a long time to warm up before it becomes a smooth drive. The transition between EV and gas engine sometimes gets stuck and won't accelerate normally. The engine was so slow at one point that I had to turn on the hazard lights while driving. The dealership's service evaluation was that it was "driving as designed." No thank you Honda...trading it in for a Toyota. The best part about this car is its drivetrain compared to others in its class. The 2L engine is never loud and the car smoothly transitions in and out of electric-only mode. The e-CVT is responsive to throttle and is relatively quick to accelerate when you need the power. The safety features are not intrusive. The adaptive cruise control and the lane-centering features work nicely, even in traffic. The emergency braking system works well and can be adjusted. Another pro is that it's super spacious. It fits huge Costco runs and the back seats have great legroom. The front seats could be more comfortable, though. The interior is inoffensive and practical. The buttons and dials are accesible and easy to use. The auto-dimming rearview mirror is a life saver. The AC works well but sometimes you have to lower it a couple of degrees because it leans towards efficiency. Glitches with the infotainment have been due to issues with Android Auto, rather than the Honda software.
