Safety That Brings Peace of Mind

Advanced safety systems are built into the 2026 Honda CR-V to support the driver at all times. These features work quietly in the background and step in only when needed.

Space That Adjusts to Your Day

Cargo space is one of the CR-V’s strongest points. Behind the back seats, there is sufficient room for groceries, gear, or luggage.
