Here's How Much the First Off-Road-Focused Honda CR-V Costs
Eagerly awaiting the official price of the 2026 CR-V? Okay, there might not be legions of fans holding their breath here, but the '26 model year sees the introduction of the CR-V family's first-ever off-road-focused model, the CR-V Hybrid TrailSport. And now we know how much that version, along with the rest of the lineup is going to cost. While new standard features and a new trim do bring value, prices across the lineup rise.
0:00 / 0:00
According to Car and Driver, the base price of the 2026 Honda CR-V—the non-hybrid LX trim—rises to $32,315, an $865 increase versus the 2025 model. You'll also find that the 2026 EX non-hybrid model sees nearly the same increase, costing $34,545 ($845 more than 2025) while the richest non-hybrid, the EX-L, now costs $36,795, only $445 more than the previous model year.
Hybrid power enters the 2026 Honda CR-V lineup in the Sport trim, which carries a new price of $37,025 and bumps the entry-level cost of electrification by $1,025 versus 2025. The Sport L is the next trim level up and it's now $40,120—a bump of $1,120 over 2025—and the trim topping Sport Touring is now $43,645—a $1,195 premium over the 2025 Honda Sport Touring.
Of course, the big news is the new-for-2026 Honda CR-V Trailsport, the off-road focused version of the popular hybrid crossover. It curiously skips many of the key upgrades found in Honda's other TrailSport models, including a suspension lift, trail rash guards, and more. Instead, the 2026 CR-V Trailsport is just a CR-V with unique wheels and Continental CrossContact ATR all-terrain tires. Honda kinda, sorta priced it accordingly, slotting the CR-V TrailSport ahead of the Sport L with a price of $40,195, but not at the top of the line like in other TrailSport models. You're paying $75 more for what is, ostensibly, an appearance package and why we still question the use of the Trailsport naming here.
We'll add that while these numbers are being reported by Car and Driver, Honda has not officially released pricing for the 2026 CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, and CR-V Hybrid Trailsport. We've asked Honda for the official numbers and will update this story when we get them.

‘Never Knew This:' Honda Civic Driver of 3 Years Reaches for Key Fob. Then She Realizes It Has a Little-Known Feature
Now that summer is in full swing, internal car temperatures are on the rise. Leaving your car out to bake in the sun can be a brutal experience upon return. The car feels like a sauna when entering, while the leather seats burn the skin. You slowly roast alive while the air conditioning takes an eternity to get going. This is why car drivers will use a series of moves to do everything to keep the car temperature down while away. Drivers will prioritize parking in the shade, using windshield sun shades, and tinting windows to block out the sun. Some will also crack windows to let subtle airflow into the car while parked. In a TikTok with nearly 7,000 views, Bryce (@ recently discovered a new key fob feature with her Honda Civic that'll help her beat the heat this summer. New Feature or Just a New Discovery? In her post, Bryce finds out that she can roll down the windows using the key fob of her Honda Civic. While scrolling through TikTok, she found a video revealing this feature for Honda Civics. Bryce immediately reached for her key fob and went to the garage. 'If this works, this is going to be crazy,' she begins her video. She points the key fob at her car and presses unlock on her key fob twice with an extended hold on the second press. After patiently waiting to see what happens, she was in disbelief to see her Civic windows roll down. More on Honda 'Do People Not Read the Owner's Manual Anymore?': Woman Buys New Honda. Then She Tries Filling It Up With Gas Honda Wants to Make the 'World's Most Efficient' Hybrids This discovery left her hyped and even more in love with her Civic. While this was a new discovery for Bryce, some viewers mentioned that this isn't new. 'My 2010 Accord does this and when I first found out it did it I was so hype,' one TikTok commenter shared. 'Even my old 2007 Honda accord did this when I had it,' another commenter added. How to Roll Down Windows Using your Key Fob While each car brand will have a specific cadence and sequence to follow, here are some beginning places to search. First, check the owner's manual. The manual will provide the specific instructions needed to activate the key fob window roll-down. As some makes and models will vary, the manual is the best place to get correct information specific to your car. Now, if reading through the manual isn't your thing, try this. Click the unlock button once on your keyfob, then hold it again for anywhere from five to 10 seconds. While holding down the unlock button, see if the windows start rolling down. Once the windows are at the desired height, release the unlock button and press lock to stop the window from rolling down. What Are the Downsides to This Key Fob Feature? With any new features come some issues. One of the downsides to this key fob secret is that it's simply not commonly known among drivers. While this feature is great if you know about it, it's not always so great when you accidentally discover it. Multiple stories have been shared on Reddit and other forums about drivers coming back to their cars only to find the windows are down. As commenters note, these drivers likely unknowingly activated this key fob feature. This can happen when the key fob is sitting buried in a purse or deep down in pants pockets. Drivers have left cars in parking lots for hours with windows fully rolled down, only to hope nothing is gone or damaged. In addition, storms can sweep through at any moment, which would put a real damper on the day. While some drivers are excited to flex this feature off, others are irritated by it. Which side are you on? What Did Viewers Think? 'That's not crazy y'all what's crazy is that they built these cars to go over 300000 miles y'all now that's crazy,' one commented. 'Does nobody read their car's instruction manuals anymore?' a second added. 'Most cars nowadays do it, y'all just gotta figure out the sequence for your specific car,' a third shared. 'Took me 6 months to find out my car does this,' another driver added. Motor1 has contacted Bryce via TikTok direct message. We'll be sure to update this article if we get a response.

2026 BMW XM Comes Exclusively in 738-HP Guise and Charges Faster
BMW has dropped the base model from the XM's lineup for 2026, leaving only the 738-hp Label variant. The XM will charge more quickly than before, with BMW upping the maximum charging rate from 7.4 to 11 kilowatt. BMW will also offer a new Frozen Tanzanite Blue exterior color; production of the 2026 XM starts this August. The BMW XM and its aggressive snout debuted for the 2023 model year with a 644-hp plug-in hybrid powertrain, before adding the even brawnier Label variant for the 2024 model year. For 2026, the XM lineup reverts back to just one trim, ditching the base model and retaining only the 738-hp Label model. The 2026 BMW XM also receives a series of new optional colors inside and out, along with a faster charging rate for the battery. Just One Type of XM Since the entry-level XM is no longer, the combination of a twin-turbocharged V-8 and an electric motor will generate 738 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque in all XMs for 2026. The 4.4-liter engine is good for 577 hp on its own, while the transmission-mounted electric motor makes 194 hp. An eight-speed automatic transmission routes those motivating forces to all four wheels, allowing this behemoth to blast from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 3.6 seconds. However, in Car and Driver's instrumented testing, the 644-hp version leapt to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds; the Label is likely even quicker than BMW says. Top speed is limited to 155 mph, but opting for the M Driver's package unlocks a 175-mph maximum. This content is imported from Third party.

View Photos BMW Along with simplifying the lineup, BMW has added a new optional BMW Individual color called Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic. The 23-inch alloy wheels can also now be had in Jet Black, and BMW also implemented a new "Welcome Light Animation" that displays as the owner approaches and unlocks the car. There are three new BMW Individual interior color combinations for 2026. Two of these—Night Blue with Vintage Coffee accents and black with Vintage Coffee accents—are "full" Merino leather packages, meaning virtually every surface of the cabin is covered in the rich material. The last, Silverstone with black accents, is an "extended" Merino leather package, meaning some areas, such as the lower dash, do not receive leather upholstery. View Photos BMW Lastly, but arguably most importantly, BMW has increased the onboard AC charger from 7.4 kilowatts to 11 kilowatts, which will allow the XM to replenish its 26-kWh battery more quickly. BMW says production for the 2026 model year will kick off at its Spartanburg, South Carolina, plant in August, with pricing to be revealed later. The 2025 XM Label starts at $186,175, and we expect the price to rise only slightly for the 2026 model year.

Trump's Auto Tariffs Strike at the Heart of Japan's Economy
US President Donald Trump's tariffs threaten to batter Japan's vital auto industry and derail the country's long-standing efforts to engineer a sustainable economic recovery. With the 25% US tariff now in place on cars and auto parts, Japan's major automakers — including Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co., Mazda Motor Corp. and Subaru Corp. — are bracing for a collective hit of more than $19 billion this fiscal year alone. And it's not just the household names feeling the pain.
