2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid
If one is under the impression there seems to be a CR-V on every corner and in most driveways, you’re not far off base. The CR-V has been a stalwart of Honda showrooms since the nameplate appeared in the late ‘90s, with each iteration getting more spacious and adding power. Right-sized dimensions, a trusted brand, and towering resale values conspire to keep the CR-V popular with Canadian families.
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Competitors
There’s no shortage of competition in this popular segment, including the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, and Kia Sportage HEV.
What’s new with the Honda CR-V Hybrid for 2025?
Following wholesale changes just a couple of years ago, the CR-V and its hybrid variant roll into 2025 with no major changes. A hydrogen fuel cell trim has been added but is outside the scope of this report. There is a chance Honda may remix available colour selection and wheel designs for this model year.
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Performance
The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with two-motor hybrid system to produce a total maximum output of 204 horsepower as measured by the peak concurrent output of the two electric motors and gasoline engine. This is a great example of why one should not simply add the maximum outputs of components to arrive at a sum. Here, the engine makes 145 horses and the motors makes 181 ponies. Some less scrupulous companies may advertise this as 326hp; Honda smartly chooses not to engage in such chicanery.
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Efficiency
Every new copy of this model is shod with all-wheel drive in Canada, making its efficiency even more impressive than at first blush. Testers at the federal agency say the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid should return 6.0 L/100km in town, 6.9 on the highway, and 6.4 combined. The unique ability of a hybrid to run more efficiently in stop-and-go traffic is the reason for these seemingly backwards set of numbers.
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Safety
This model currently enjoys a Top Safety Pick designation from the crash testers at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, acing tests like the small overlap front exam and updated side impact test. However, it was flummoxed by the updated (read: tougher) moderate overlap front test with criticism especially levelled at rear passenger restraints and dummy kinematics.
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Reliability
Consumer Reports places the Honda CR-V Hybrid on its vaunted ‘recommended’ list thanks to a high score in overall testing and a lofty 4-of-5 score for predicted owner satisfaction. Predicted reliability is also high, with CR describing it as “one of the best small SUVs you can buy.”
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Interior
Anyone who has sampled a mainstream Honda in the last few years will recognize just about every element in the 2025 CR-V. A tablet for infotainment sprouts from atop the dashboard like an errant grave marker, though there are some handy physical buttons including one for audio volume. Thank you. A mesh-like design runs the width of this space and rather hides the ventilation registers, a quartet of vent units whose adjustment toggles feel far more expensive than the car’s price tag may suggest.
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Dimensions
Total length of the Honda CR-V, applicable for hybrid and non-hybrid trims, measures 184.8 inches from end to end (or 4,694 millimetres). Fun fact: the original CR-V, introduced in the late ‘90s, was just 177.6 inches long. Width checks in at 73.5 inches while overall height is 66.5 inches over an 8.2-inch ground clearance.
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Canadian Pricing
This brand chooses to place trims with the hybrid engine atop its pricing heap in Canada, a decision which means the CR-V Hybrid is pricier than some of its competitors. Absent any fees or taxes, the EX-L Hybrid trim carries a sticker price of $47,325 while the Touring Hybrid trim commands a hefty $49,825.
