What's New for the 2026 Honda CR-V
The 2026 model year brings several exciting updates that enhance the driving experience. All trim levels now feature a larger 9.0-inch central touchscreen, a 2.0-inch increase over the 2025 model.

For those who venture beyond paved roads, all-wheel-drive models benefit from enhanced traction-management programming that improves off-road performance at low speeds. Additionally, fresh 18-inch wheel designs are available across all trims, giving the CR-V a contemporary and refined appearance. Drivers in Portsmouth will appreciate these updates when navigating various road conditions throughout the year.
Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the 2026 Honda CR-V is powered by a responsive 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 190 horsepower. This direct-injected powerplant pairs with a smooth CVT transmission that includes Normal, Econ, and Snow dynamic drive modes, allowing you to optimize performance based on driving conditions and preferences. The idle-stop feature improves fuel efficiency during city driving. With a 14.0-gallon fuel tank, you can travel extended distances between fill-ups, making this SUV ideal for daily commutes around Exeter or longer road trips.
The CR-V offers both front-wheel-drive and automatic full-time all-wheel-drive configurations, giving buyers the flexibility to choose the drivetrain that best suits their needs. The all-wheel-drive system provides confident handling in inclement weather and varied terrain conditions.
Interior and Cargo Space
The 2026 Honda CR-V comfortably accommodates five passengers within its well-designed cabin. Measuring 184.8 inches in overall length with a generous 106.3-inch wheelbase, the CR-V provides ample legroom and headroom for both front and rear occupants. The vehicle is 73.5 inches wide and 66.2 to 66.5 inches tall, depending on the drivetrain configuration.
Seating options vary by trim level, with cloth upholstery available on the LX and EX trims. The EX-L features premium leather seat trim with leatherette back material. The EX and EX-L trims include heated front bucket seats with power adjustment for the driver, including two-way power lumbar support. The EX-L adds passenger power adjustment and two-position driver's seat memory for personalized comfort.
The versatile 60-40 folding split-bench rear seat allows you to configure the cargo area to accommodate larger items when needed. Residents of Brentwood will find this flexibility particularly useful for transporting sports equipment, furniture, or supplies from local stores. The EX-L trim includes a power liftgate for convenient hands-free cargo access.
Technology and Safety Features
Honda has equipped the 2026 CR-V with an impressive array of technology and safety features. The audio system varies by trim: the LX offers a 160-watt system with four speakers, the EX provides a 240-watt system with six speakers, and the EX-L delivers a premium 320-watt system with eight speakers. All systems include the new 9.0-inch color touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming audio, and a USB-C 3.0A smartphone interface.
Safety remains paramount in the CR-V. Standard features across all trims include Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist System with Road Departure Mitigation, Collision Mitigation-Front, and a back-up camera. The EX and EX-L trims add Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor with Low Speed Braking Control for enhanced awareness of surrounding vehicles.
Additional safety technologies include Electronic Stability Control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist, hill descent control, hill hold control, and a comprehensive airbag system featuring dual-stage front airbags, side-mounted airbags, knee airbags, and curtain airbags for the first and second rows. Families in Hampton can drive with confidence knowing their loved ones are protected by these advanced safety systems.
The EX and EX-L trims feature an express open/close sliding and tilting glass sunroof with sunshade, adding an open-air element to your driving experience. Both trims also include deep-tinted glass for privacy and UV protection.
