The gasoline-powered 2026 Honda CR-V is offered in two (or three) high-spec trim levels. The lineup begins with the LX model and moves to the athletic Sport model. However, the Honda website states there are LX 2WD, LX AWD, and Sport trim levels for 2026. The LX trim has 17-inch steel wheels, while the LX AWD inevitably adds all-wheel-drive capability. The Sport trim upgrades to a set of 18-inch black aluminum-alloy wheels that give it a more commanding presence. All models feature an active shutter grille for improved aerodynamics, along with brilliant LED headlights and taillights for clear visibility. The Sport trim also includes a one-touch power moonroof with a tilt feature, adding an open-air feeling to the cabin.
Every 2026 Honda CR-V gas model is powered by a 1.5-litre, direct-injected, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower and 179 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), ensuring smooth power delivery and excellent responsiveness. The LX trim gives buyers the choice between front-wheel drive or Honda's Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System, while the Sport trim comes standard with all-wheel drive for superior traction in all conditions. Fuel economy is impressive, with the front-wheel-drive model achieving a combined 7.8 L/100 km and all-wheel-drive models rated at 8.4 L/100 km combined. An Eco Assist system and an ECON drive mode help drivers optimize efficiency.
