2027 Honda CR-V: Trims, MPG, and Family Value Guide

The 2027 Honda CR-V has been announced as a practical, family-focused compact SUV available in 12 trims — from the value-oriented LX 2WD to the premium Hybrid Sport Touring AWD. The standout figure: hybrid trims reach up to 40 mpg combined (43 city), making this one of the most fuel-efficient compact SUVs available. Shoppers who prioritize daily fuel savings should lean toward the Hybrid Sport or Hybrid Sport-L trims, while buyers needing AWD traction or light towing up to 1,500 lbs have strong options across the lineup.

The 2027 Honda CR-V is well-matched to the routines of Providence-area families and working professionals — its 5-passenger cabin, up to about 39 cu ft of cargo space, and fuel economy figures that reach 40 mpg combined on hybrid trims make it a reliable daily partner for urban commutes, school runs, and weekend outings alike.

For a household in which one adult commutes to a Providence campus or downtown office while another handles school drop-offs and errands, the CR-V's compact crossover footprint strikes a practical balance. It is maneuverable enough for urban streets yet spacious enough to carry the gear that comes with an active family lifestyle. The 14-gallon fuel tank paired with hybrid efficiency means fewer stops at the pump each week — a tangible savings for households managing a $60K–$90K budget.

On weekends, the CR-V transitions naturally from commuter to adventure vehicle. The rear seats fold in an asymmetrical split to open up about 76.5 cu ft of cargo space, making room for a farmers market haul, fishing gear for a trip to the Taunton River, or sports equipment for the kids. Non-hybrid trims carry a 1,500-lb towing rating, which is sufficient for a small utility trailer or lightweight boat.

Shoppers who already own a vehicle and are considering an upgrade can start the process from home by checking what their current car is worth through our trade-in estimator, or browse our pre-owned CR-V inventory if a certified pre-owned option better fits the budget.

The CR-V competes directly with the Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX-5 in the compact SUV segment — all solid vehicles — but the CR-V's hybrid powertrain efficiency and interior volume give it a meaningful edge for buyers who prioritize low running costs and family practicality.

The 2027 Honda CR-V in Dartmouth carries a clean, upright SUV silhouette that reads as modern without being polarizing — a practical design choice for buyers who want a vehicle that works equally well on Federal Hill's narrow side streets and in the parking structures near the Providence River waterfront.

The exterior measures 184.8 inches in length, 73.5 inches wide, and 66.2 inches tall on 2WD trims (66.5 inches on AWD variants, which ride slightly higher). The 106.3-inch wheelbase provides a stable, planted stance without adding unnecessary length that would make urban parking more difficult. A 44.7-inch curb-to-curb turning circle keeps the CR-V nimble in tight urban environments.

All trims wear LED headlights — both low and high beam — along with LED daytime running lights, LED side indicator lights, LED rear lights, and LED brake lights. The result is a lighting signature that is both safety-focused and visually cohesive. The front bumper is painted to match the body, while the rear bumper carries a black finish — a subtle sport-influenced detail.

Exterior color options across the lineup include Platinum White Pearl, Urban Gray Pearl, and Radiant Red Metallic, giving buyers a choice between understated professional tones and a more expressive finish. Hybrid Sport trims add body-colored door mirrors with toned accents, distinguishing them visually from the standard trims.

For buyers who are ready to make the move from their current vehicle, getting an estimate on your trade-in value is a straightforward first step before visiting the showroom.

The TrailSport AWD adds a more rugged character with available fender flares and splash guard sets, making it a logical choice for buyers who split their time between Providence's urban core and the gravel back roads and wooded areas further inland.

The 2027 Honda CR-V lineup in New Bedford splits cleanly into two powertrain families: a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder for the LX, EX, and EX-L trims, and a 2.0-liter hybrid system for the Hybrid Sport, Hybrid Sport-L, Hybrid Sport Touring, and TrailSport trims. The choice of powertrain is the most consequential decision a buyer will make, because it affects both daily fuel cost and towing capacity.

The 1.5L Earth Dreams Technology™ engine produces 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT. It is naturally aspirated in feel but turbocharged in architecture, delivering torque from as low as 1,700 rpm — useful for merging onto the highway or navigating hilly terrain. The 2.0L hybrid system steps up to 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque, with the electric motor contributing 181 hp on its own. That torque advantage is noticeable in urban driving, where the electric motor's instant response makes stop-and-go traffic feel less taxing.

The fuel economy difference between the two families is significant:

AWD trims that carry the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ distribute power automatically without driver input — a meaningful benefit on wet or slippery roads. Towing capacity on non-hybrid trims is 1,500 lbs; hybrid trims are rated at 1,000 lbs. All trims ride on a front strut / rear multi-link independent suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bars at both ends, which keeps the ride composed on both highway stretches and uneven urban pavement.

Keeping your CR-V's powertrain performing at its best is straightforward when you order genuine Honda parts directly through our parts department for scheduled maintenance items like filters and fluids.

Five adults fit comfortably in the 2027 CR-V, with interior dimensions that are genuinely generous for the compact SUV class. Front headroom measures 38.2 inches, rear headroom matches at 38.2 inches, and front legroom comes in at 41.3 inches with rear legroom at 41 inches — numbers that mean rear passengers are not squeezed, even on a longer drive to a waterfront park or out-of-town destination.

Shoulder room tells a similar story: 57.9 inches up front and 55.9 inches in the second row. Hip room measures 55.6 inches front and 52.6 inches rear. These are not cramped numbers, and families with a child seat in the back will appreciate that the remaining rear passengers still have meaningful space.

Cargo capacity behind the rear seats is about 39 cu ft on non-hybrid trims — enough for a full farmers market run, two strollers, or a weekend's worth of luggage. Hybrid Sport Touring AWD steps down slightly to about 35 cu ft behind the rear seats due to the hybrid battery packaging, while Hybrid Sport and Hybrid Sport-L trims offer about 36 cu ft. Fold the rear seats flat and all trims open up to about 76.5 cu ft, which accommodates larger items like kayak gear or camping equipment. The rear seats fold asymmetrically, so you c

The driver's seat on EX and higher trims is power-adjustable with 5 electrical adjustments including height, reach, recline, tilt, and lumbar — all electric. The EX-L and Hybrid Sport Touring add memory settings for the driver's seat position, which is convenient for households where two adults share the vehicle. The EX-L and above also add heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and leather seat upholstery. Hybrid Sport and Hybrid Sport-L trims feature Black Cloth with Orange Stitching or leather with orange stitching, giving those cabins a sportier character.

Climate control is dual-zone automatic across all covered trims, with rear ventilation controls as well. The cargo area includes a 12V power outlet, and the cabin offers 2 USB charging ports at the front and 2 at the rear — practical for a family where everyone has a device that needs charging.

The 2027 CR-V's infotainment setup is straightforward to use and well-suited to buyers who want reliable smartphone integration without a steep learning curve.

LX and EX trims carry a 9-inch touchscreen paired with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Moving up to the EX-L and Hybrid Sport-L trims upgrades the instrument cluster to a 10.2-inch TFT screen, adding more real estate for navigation prompts and vehicle information. The Hybrid Sport Touring AWD steps the audio system up to a 12-speaker setup with a subwoofer — a meaningful upgrade over the 6-speaker system on LX and EX trims and the 8-speaker system on EX-L and Hybrid Sport-L.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across all covered trims, meaning there is no cable required to mirror your phone's navigation, music, or messaging apps. Both integrations include long-term subscription terms built into the vehicle. Bluetooth connectivity, a voice activation system, and built-in apps round out the connected experience.

All trims support over-the-air software updates, which means the infotainment system can receive improvements without requiring a dealer visit. HondaLink™ Assist telematics is standard, connecting through the owner's phone for remote services including vehicle start, remote lock/unlock, speed alerts, geo-fencing, and theft alerts — features that are particularly useful for parents who share the vehicle with a teen driver.

The Hybrid Sport Touring AWD adds an embedded Wi-Fi hotspot with 3 GB per month included for 3 months, along with a built-in navigation system featuring a 9-inch screen, 3D mapping, voice guidance, and 15 GB of internal storage. Traffic information is included for the first 3 months.

Steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a wireless charging pad, and a full floor console with overhead partial console keep daily interactions with the vehicle intuitive. The Smart Entry & Start System — keyless entry with walk-away locking and push-button start — is standard across all covered trims, so there is no fumbling for keys when your hands are full.

Every 2027 CR-V trim in this lineup comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of standard advanced driver assistance features — not as an optional add-on. That means buyers at every price point get meaningful collision mitigation, lane-keeping support, and rear cross-traffic monitoring as part of the base vehicle.

The Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) activates from as low as 3 mph and includes front low-speed automatic braking. On the Hybrid Sport Touring AWD and Hybrid Sport-L AWD, the system extends to cover both front and rear low-speed braking — an upgrade that adds an extra layer of protection in tight parking situations. The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) applies gentle steering corrections when the vehicle begins to drift from its lane without a turn signal, which is particularly useful on highway stretches where fatigue can set in.

Blind Spot Information (BSI) monitors the adjacent lanes and alerts the driver when a vehicle enters the blind zone, and the Cross Traffic Monitor uses radar to detect approaching traffic when reversing — both systems are standard across all covered trims. Adaptive cruise control with a stop/go function is also standard, allowing the vehicle to follow traffic to a complete stop and resume automatically.

The airbag count is 10 across all covered trims, including front airbags for driver and passenger, front and rear side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, and driver and passenger knee airbags. Front and rear head restraints are height-adjustable, and the rear center seat belt is a 3-point design. LATCH child seat anchors are present, and a rear occupant alert system reminds drivers to check the rear seat before exiting.

Traffic sign recognition and a tire pressure monitoring system are standard, and a Multi-Angle Rear View Camera with Dynamic Guidelines is fitted to all trims. The EX-L and Hybrid Sport Touring add front parking sensors in addition to the rear camera.

Pricing for the 2027 Honda CR-V has been announced across 12 trims, with MSRPs that have not yet been finalized at the per-trim level for several configurations — contact Colonial Honda of Dartmouth directly for the most current figures. The trims that do carry announced MSRPs show a clear value ladder from the accessible LX entry point through the fully-featured Hybrid Sport Touring AWD.

Here is what the data shows for trims with confirmed pricing:

Note: All MSRPs listed are the manufacturer's suggested retail price and exclude the $1,550 destination charge. The delivered price before taxes and fees would add the destination charge to the figures above.

The value argument for hybrid trims is straightforward: the Hybrid Sport 2WD starts at $36,030 — only $2,480 more than the EX 2WD — yet delivers 40 mpg combined versus 30 mpg combined. For a driver covering 15,000 miles annually at $3.50 per gallon, that efficiency gap translates to meaningful annual fuel savings that begin to offset the price difference relatively quickly.

The Hybrid Sport Touring AWD at $42,950 is the most feature-complete trim in the lineup, adding the 12-speaker audio system, built-in navigation, heated steering wheel, leather seating, memory driver's seat, and front parking sensors. For buyers who want everything in one package without option-shopping, it delivers a comprehensive ownership experience.

The 2027 CR-V carries a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty — coverage that applies to all trims in this lineup. Paint is covered for 3 years/36,000 miles, and corrosion protection extends to 5 years. Roadside assistance matches the bumper-to-bumper term at 3 years/36,000 miles.

Hybrid trims carry additional coverage specific to their electrified components: the high-voltage battery and electric systems are warranted for 8 years/100,000 miles. That extended hybrid battery coverage is an important ownership consideration for buyers weighing the Hybrid Sport, Hybrid Sport-L, or Hybrid Sport Touring trims — it substantially reduces the long-term risk associated with hybrid ownership.

The full service schedule includes a first service interval at 12 months/12,000 miles. Staying current with maintenance intervals — oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and filter replacements — is the most reliable way to protect both the warranty and the vehicle's long-term resale value.

At Colonial Honda of Dartmouth, our VIP Service experience includes free Wi-Fi, a complimentary beverage and coffee bar, a courtesy transportation shuttle, home and office pick-up and delivery, an express service lane, extended hours including Saturday service, certified technicians, complimentary multi-point inspections, genuine OEM parts, rental cars, business workstations, and a children's play area.

The 2027 CR-V has been officially revealed and carries crash test data that reflects well on the platform. The NHTSA has assigned an overall 5-star rating to the CR-V, with a 5-star side impact rating, a 4-star frontal crash rating, and a 4-star rollover rating. Those are strong numbers for a compact SUV and give family buyers meaningful third-party validation of the vehicle's structural integrity.

From the IIHS, the CR-V earns Good ratings in the small overlap front driver-side test, the side impact test, the rear crash protection/head restraint evaluation, and the headlights test. The seat belt reminder system also earns a Good rating. The IIHS has designated the CR-V a Top Safety Pick, which is a meaningful recognition for shoppers who use safety ratings as a primary filter in their search.

The CR-V's established platform has drawn consistent praise from the automotive press. Edmunds has noted the CR-V's well-balanced combination of passenger space, cargo practicality, and fuel efficiency as core strengths in the compact SUV segment. The hybrid variant in particular has attracted attention for city fuel economy figures that rival some dedicated hybrid vehicles.

The IIHS's Good headlight rating is worth highlighting specifically: many compact SUVs struggle in this category, and a Good score means the CR-V's LED headlight system provides strong nighttime visibility — a practical benefit for anyone driving home after an evening event in Providence or navigating rural roads after dark.

Q: Which 2027 CR-V trim offers the best fuel economy?

The Hybrid Sport 2WD and Hybrid Sport-L 2WD deliver the highest fuel economy in the lineup at 43 mpg city / 36 mpg highway / 40 mpg combined. The Hybrid Sport AWD, Hybrid Sport-L AWD, and Hybrid Sport Touring AWD each return 40 mpg city / 34 mpg highway / 37 mpg combined. Non-hybrid trims — LX, EX, and EX-L in 2WD — return 28 mpg city / 33 mpg highway / 30 mpg combined. The hybrid trims represent a significant fuel savings advantage for buyers who do a high proportion of city driving.

Q: What is the towing capacity of the 2027 Honda CR-V?

Towing capacity depends on the powertrain. Non-hybrid trims — LX, EX, and EX-L in both 2WD and AWD configurations — are rated at 1,500 lbs. Hybrid trims, including the Hybrid Sport, Hybrid Sport-L, Hybrid Sport Touring, and TrailSport AWD, carry a 1,000-lb towing rating. The 1,500-lb rating on non-hybrid trims is sufficient for a small utility trailer or lightweight fishing boat, while the hybrid's 1,000-lb limit is better suited to a small cargo trailer or personal watercraft.

Q: Does the 2027 CR-V come standard with AWD, or is it optional?

AWD is available as a separate trim configuration rather than a factory option on a base trim. Each trim level — LX, EX, EX-L, Hybrid Sport, and Hybrid Sport-L — is offered in both 2WD and AWD variants, allowing buyers to choose the drivetrain that matches their needs and budget. The Hybrid Sport Touring and TrailSport are available exclusively in AWD. The AWD system used is Honda's Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™, which operates automatically without driver input.

Q: What safety features come standard on every 2027 CR-V trim?

Every covered trim includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Blind Spot Information (BSI), Cross Traffic Monitor, adaptive cruise control with stop/go, a Multi-Angle Rear View Camera with Dynamic Guidelines, traffic sign recognition, tire pressure monitoring, and 10 airbags. These systems are not optional — they are part of the standard equipment on every trim from LX through Hybrid Sport Touring.
