Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryCompetition among small crossover SUVs is fierce. The 2026 Honda CR-V faces off against the Toyota RAV4, the Subaru Forester, the Hyundai Tucson, and at least one compact SUV from nearly every other automaker. On balance, the Honda CR-V has handled the competition well. But while it has thrived, Honda has found success with another name, too: TrailSport. This year, the two success stories finally met. Verdict: The CR-V is one of the best compact crossovers on the market, and the hybrid powertrain only makes it better. If serious adventure and off-road driving are your things, though, the CR-V TrailSport may not be the right choice. | |
