2027 Honda CR-V Trim Levels:
Compare Gas & Hybrid Choices

Seven trims share the CR-V's approachable size and five-passenger versatility, but the gas and hybrid paths create different ways to prioritize everyday cost, comfort, and driving feel.


The Honda CR-V brings together the comfort, space, and versatility that make an SUV enjoyable to own every day. Its upright seating position, flexible rear seats, and generous cargo opening give you room for passengers and gear, while its manageable size makes everyday errands, commuting, and weekend getaways feel effortless.

That balance fits life around Troy and the Capital Region, where a typical week might include errands along Hoosick Road, commuting into Albany, and a weekend trip upstate. Whether navigating busy streets or heading out for a longer drive, the CR-V offers the flexibility to enjoy both everyday routines and bigger plans.

For 2027, the CR-V lineup offers three turbocharged gasoline trims and four hybrids, each with its own combination of driving character, efficiency, comfort, and technology. The key is finding the features and driving experience you'll appreciate most, whether you prefer the familiar feel of a gas-powered SUV or the responsive performance and fuel savings of a hybrid.

The essential CR-V experience is already here, with no need to move up a trim just to enjoy its versatility.

2027 CR-V FAQ

The CR-V Questions Worth Settling Before You Shop

Can a 2027 Honda CR-V Hybrid be charged at home?

No plug is required or supported for these U.S. CR-V Hybrid trims. The two-motor hybrid uses its gasoline engine and regenerative braking to manage battery energy during driving.

How should I compare EX-L with Sport Hybrid?

They have similar starting prices but serve different priorities. EX-L adds leather, power loading and parking convenience to the gas model. Sport Hybrid introduces the efficient two-motor system with a sporty cloth-seat package.

Does TrailSport Hybrid sit above Sport-L Hybrid?

No. They are different paths. TrailSport Hybrid includes AWD, all-terrain tires and a heated steering wheel; Sport-L Hybrid offers leather, driver memory and parking assistance, with FWD or AWD.

Does Sport-L Hybrid include the TrailSport all-terrain tires?

No. TrailSport-specific all-terrain tires and its distinct appearance are not standard Sport-L Hybrid equipment. Compare the window stickers if those details are priorities.

Does the CR-V Hybrid tow as much as the gas CR-V?

No. The gas CR-V is rated up to 1,500 pounds and CR-V Hybrid models up to 1,000 pounds when properly equipped. Follow Honda towing and load-limit guidance.

Do I need AWD for a Capital Region winter?

Not necessarily. AWD is offered across the lineup, but traction also depends on tires and road conditions. Choose based on where you regularly travel, and do not treat AWD as a substitute for suitable winter tires or careful driving.
