One of the most exciting times in the automotive industry is when new models for the upcoming year are released. This early, drivers are already flooded with information on fresh vehicle features.

So if you’re in the market shopping for a new compact SUV crossover, give the 2026 CR-V a closer look.
The latest model comes with enhanced features, such as a larger 9-inch infotainment display, which is now standard on all gasoline variants. This new specification is an upgrade to the 7-inch configuration in the 2025 model.
For the 2026 model year, the mid-range trims also get a 10.2-inch instrument panel. Honda has similarly made Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ standard features for the 2026 CR-V, as well as wireless charging. All-wheel-drive variants also come with an available traction management system for improved off-road maneuverability, while 18-inch wheels are now available on all trims.
These upgrades give the CR-V a better chance of competing with peers such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Mazda CX-5.
