2026 Honda HR-V vs 2026 Honda CR-V
Serving Richardson, TX
If you're shopping for a Honda SUV near Richardson, TX, you've likely considered the two top crossovers in Honda's lineup: the 2026 Honda HR-V and 2026 Honda CR-V. Both bring versatility, reliability, and smart design to the road, but which is right for your lifestyle?
At Lute Riley Honda, we're breaking down the key differences between these two models to help you make a confident choice.
Performance
The 2026 Honda HR-V features a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with a CVT, producing 158 horsepower. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive is available for added traction on slick Texas roads or weekend getaways.
The 2026 Honda CR-V offers more power across its lineup. The LX, EX, and EX-L trims come with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a CVT, delivering 190 horsepower. For even greater efficiency and torque, the hybrid trims — including Sport Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid — feature a 2.0L hybrid powertrain producing 204 horsepower. CR-V AWD models now come with enhanced low-speed traction control for added grip in challenging conditions.
Appearance
The 2026 HR-V makes a bold statement with new wheel designs, refreshed Sport badging, and two new colors: Solar Reflection Metallic and Boost Blue Pearl. Its sloped hood, sculpted profile, and wide honeycomb-style grille create a sleek and sporty exterior. LED headlights with amber accents add a sharp finishing touch.
The 2026 CR-V takes a more commanding approach with its flat, extended roofline, rear liftgate spoiler, black side moldings, and raked side windows. Updated 18-inch wheels and angular headlights with LED upper accents complete the refined and athletic design.
Features
Both Honda crossovers offer premium comfort and tech that Richardson drivers will appreciate. Shared features include wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a wireless charging pad, rear privacy glass, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, USB ports, low-speed automatic braking, and an available power liftgate.
The CR-V adds even more upscale features such as ambient interior lighting, driver's seat memory settings, and a Bose premium audio system. These upgrades provide a more luxurious cabin experience for those looking to elevate their everyday drive.
