New CR-V TrailSport Hybrid is here to sip fuel, off-road and on

9 OF 9

The super popular Honda CR-V is getting a rugged and efficient new TrailSport Hybrid trim.

Honda said the CR-V has been America’s bestselling crossover utility vehicle over the last 28 years. The automaker also said it sold nearly half-a-million of them here last year.

This CR-V’s exterior is finished in a new ash green metallic color. It’s complemented by chunky black wheels, which are wrapped in knobby all-terrain tires that still offer a smooth ride.

Inside, the TrailSport Hybrid keeps things simple. It has a straightforward interior, featuring black cloth seats with orange stitching and the TrailSport logo embroidered on the headrests.

The compact LED screen and traditional gear shifter add to the no-nonsense feel, making it a breath of fresh air for those who prefer minimalism over high-tech distractions. The back doors open wide, making it easy for kids and adults to get in and out comfortably. However, this one does lack a spare tire.

Honda lands just above the study average in the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study.

With the hybrid system, this model gets a combined 35 miles per gallon, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Honda said hybrid electric models currently represent more than half CR-V sales.

This 2026 CR-V TrailSport Hybrid is priced at $40,650, including shipping, with the paint color as the only option.

Car Review: Biggest Infiniti is an outside-the-box pick in the luxury SUV segment

This week, we’re going for a spin in an SUV that is simply huge — and very fancy. And you also may have overlooked it while focusing on Escalades and Navigators. The Infiniti QX80 Sport is one of those vehicles that takes some getting used to — whether you’re parking it, squeezing through tight lanes or just seeing how much driveway it takes up. Even though it’s in line dimensionally with other full-size SUVs, like the Ford Expedition we drove a few weeks back, it still feels especially large.
