2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid's New TrailSport Model Starts at $40,195

The 2026 Honda CR-V's price starts at $32,315 for the nonhybrid base model and rises to $37,025 for the entry-level CR-V Hybrid. The new off-road-friendly TrailSport is hybrid-only and priced at $40,195. Other updates to the 2026 CR-V include adding a 9.0-inch touchscreen and a wireless phone charger to every trim. Apart, the CR-V and the CR-V Hybrid are Honda's first and third bestselling models. Together, they dominate the rest of the lineup. Late last month, Honda revealed the 2026 versions of the CR-V and the CR-V Hybrid, which the automaker hopes will keep up those sales trends. And now we have pricing for the full lineup. CR-V Prices The gas-only CR-V lineup is evenly staggered and starts at $32,315 for the base LX trim before moving up to $34,545 for the EX model. The EX-L is the nonhybrid range-topper, and it starts at $36,795. Moving to the hybrid lineup, things get slightly more expensive. The Sport and Sport L carry starting prices of $37,025 and $40,120, respectively. With a $40,195 price, the new TrailSport model is situated just above the Sport L trim. Finally, the Sport Touring model sits at the top of the lineup and starts at $43,645.

Every model also comes with a 9.0-inch central touchscreen, which is 2.0 inches larger than the outgoing screen. The gas-powered EX-L and every hybrid (except for the Sport) also get a new 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. In addition to the added tech, Honda also tweaked the CR-V's all-wheel-drive system for 2026. Below nine mph, the car's traction control will now detect slippage under braking and will send power to the wheels that have more grip. Honda says the new models will start arriving in dealerships this spring, so they should reach your local dealer's inventory any day now.
