Brent Romans, with Edmunds, wrote The 2025 Honda CR-V is a standout small SUV. It has a smooth ride, ample interior space, and an appealing mix of features for your money. The 2025 CR-V is the middle child in Hondas lineup, surrounded by the subcompact HR-V on one side and the larger midsize Passport and Pilot on the other. Historically, the CR-V has been one of the best small SUVs in its class, and that continues with this generation, which was redesigned in 2023. There are no major changes for the 2025 Honda CR-V
Honda has always been tuned into what its shoppers need, and in the case of a compact SUV, it's comfort and convenience. While other carmakers may tout their performance or off-road capabilities, the CR-V hones in on these core competencies. The suspension ably smooths over bumps in the road, while the seats are adequately padded for long-distance comfort. Helping matters is a quiet cabin to reduce fatigue or to let little ones sleep. The CR-V is also great for hauling family-related gear, luggage or all of the stuff you just bought at Costco thanks to its huge 39.3-cubic-foot cargo capacity behind its rear seats.
LX Start off the CR-V line up with 17-inch wheels, Push-button start, LED headlights, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
EX adds more features such as a Sunroof, Heated side mirrors, Dual-zone climate control, Heated front seats, a Power-adjustable driver's seat, the Six-speaker sound system, Dual rear USB ports and Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning
The Sport trim is the most affordable way to get into a hybrid-powered CR-V. It's equipped like the EX, but with the Hybrid powertrain with 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 204 hp and 247 lb-ft torque, Roof rails, a Sport appearance package with darkened exterior elements and a Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter
