The 2025 Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Honda. The 2025 Honda CR-V is available in six trim levels: LX, EX, Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Sport Touring. LX, EX, and EX-L trims come with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while Sport, Sport-L, and Sport Touring come with a hybrid powertrain for improved fuel economy. The 2025 CR-V Sport-L bridges the gap between the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims, and like those two, it’s only available as a hybrid.

Inside, the interior is highlighted by a honeycomb-textured insert that covers most of the dashboard and discreetly hides the air vents. Honda says the front seats have been designed to reduce driver fatigue on long journeys, and the 2025 CR-V’s driving position has been improved. A large center console bin sits between front-seat passengers, and behind them are reclining rear seats with an extra 0.6 inches of rear legroom over the outgoing 2025 CR-V. There are 36 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, and with the adjustable load floor in its lowest position, gas-only models have 39 cubic feet of cargo space.
