New for 2026, the TrailSport Hybrid introduces a more rugged personality to the CR-V lineup. It features standard all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and enhanced suspension tuning for light off-road capability. Despite its more adventurous setup, fuel economy remains strong at approximately 40 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, offering a rare blend of efficiency and capability in the compact SUV segment. This trim is perfect for drivers who want to explore beyond paved roads while maintaining hybrid efficiency.

It comes standard with all-wheel drive and offers smooth, confident acceleration with the same 204-horsepower hybrid system.
