What type of product do you have.

I drove Honda's $43,000 CR-V Hybrid. These 17 features make it one of the best SUVs money can buy.

• The Honda CR-V is one of the most popular compact SUVs in the US and Honda's best-selling model.
• I recently drove a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid with all-wheel-drive in range-topping Sport Touring trim.
• I was impressed by the CR-V's advanced hybrid powertrain, quiet cabin, and smart interior design.

The CR-V compact SUV, now in its sixth generation, is Honda's best-selling model and has been since 2017.

Last year, Honda sold more than 361,000 CR-Vs in the US. That's approaching the total sales of the brand's venerable Accord and Civic sedans.

I recently reviewed an all-wheel-drive 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid in the range-topping Sport Touring trim with an as-tested price of $42,605. I was impressed by its hybrid powertrain, quiet ride, and excellent cabin ergonomics.

The base CR-V starts at $30,100, while the most affordable hybrid trim, the front-wheel-drive CR-V Sport, starts at $34,350.

The top-of-the-line hybrid trim starts at $40,800.

Here's a closer look at some of the CR-V's most interesting features that make it one of the best compact SUVs money can buy.

1. Handsome styling

Like its recently restyled big brother, the Pilot SUV , the CR-V benefits from Honda's new upright, athletic styling, which abandons the previous generation's rounded bread loaf looks for a boxier aesthetic.

Up front, the CR-V sports a large, upright gloss black grille. At the back, signature vertical tail lamps have been updated for the sixth generation.

2. Efficient hybrid engine

The CR-V is powered by an updated version of the Honda's trick two-motor hybrid-electric system.

In most instances, the CR-V Hybrid operates as a series hybrid, with the electric motors driving the wheels and the ICE engine focused on charging its small 1.06 kWh battery pack. However, the system can switch to parallel hybrid mode during highway cruising, with the ICE engine connecting to the front axle through a clutch.

The system sends power to the pavement through an E-CVT that's designed to mimic the feel of a traditional automatic transmission.

I was able to achieve roughly 36 miles per gallon during my time behind the wheel.

3. Honda's Real Time All-Wheel-Drive

Unlike many hybrids, which place an electric motor on the rear axle to create a virtual all-wheel-drive system, the CR-V Hybrid uses Honda's Real Time AWD system with a physical linkage to the rear wheels.

The system, available on all trim levels, can send up to 50% of the engine's power to the rear wheels when it detects a loss of traction.

4. Standard safety and driver assistance tech

The CR-V comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite of safety tech that includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, traffic sign recognition, traffic jam assist, blind spot awareness, cross traffic monitor, driver attention monitor, and auto high-beam headlights.

5. Quiet cabin

The CR-V boasts a remarkably quiet cabin thanks to a host of noise-reduction features Honda built into the SUV. These include new noise insulators in the wheel wells, additional insulating panels under the vehicle's floor, extra foam insulation in the body, acoustic glass, and an improved active noise cancellation system.

The CR-V's active noise cancellation system, which emits soundwaves that neutralize road noise, has been updated with a broader range of volume and frequencies as well as an additional dedicated speaker that improves coverage inside the cabin.

6. Easy-to-use infotainment system

The centerpiece of the CR-V's front dash is a nine-inch touchscreen display. The CR-V comes standard with a smaller seven-inch display, while the nine-inch display is available on higher trims. The screen isn't the largest in the segment, but it is of good quality.

The touchscreen runs Honda's corporate infotainment system, which has been around for more than half a decade now. It's responsive, well-organized, and fairly easy to navigate, but the interface is beginning to look a bit dated now.

Like in other Honda products, I give the company kudos for keeping the physical home, volume, and back buttons, which is increasingly rare nowadays.

7. Digital instrument display

In front of the driver is an analog speedometer paired with a helpful seven-inch TFT information display. The digital display can be configured to display the CR-V's tachometer, power flow meters, multimedia, and driver assistance features.

8. Body-stabilizing seats

The CR-V is equipped with Honda Body Stabilizing Seats, which are designed to reduce driver fatigue and improve comfort by providing additional lumber and pelvis support.

9. Remote start

The CR-V can be started remotely by holding down a button on the key fob. The feature is standard on all CR-V trim levels except the base LX.

10. Updated drive modes

The CR-V Hybrid comes with four different drive modes, including a new Sport mode.

There's Normal Mode for everyday driving, an ECON Mode which reduces throttle sensitivity and air conditioning to save fuel, and a Snow Model which adjusts the drivetrain to enhance traction in slippery conditions.

Then there's Sport Mode, which is exclusive to Hybrid models, that offers a peppier throttle response for more spirited acceleration.

11. Roomy rear cabin

The CR-V has one of the roomiest cabins in the segment, and this is especially evident in the second row.

The CR-V has 41 inches of second-row legroom, which is on par with the rival Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and beats the Toyota RAV4 by more than three inches.

12. Predictive Eco Assist

CR-V Hybrids in Sport and Sport Touring trims are equipped with Honda's Predictive Eco Assist, which sees its built-in navigation system work together with its hybrid system to maximize fuel economy.

The CR-V uses the navigation system to determine when there will be opportunities to maximize regenerative braking, such as in downhill sections, and when to prioritize electric motor assist.

13. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard on all CR-Vs. However, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are only available on the higher-end EX-L, Sport-L, and Sport Touring trims.

14. Premium Bose stereo

Honda offers a premium 12-speaker Bose sound system exclusively on the Sport Touring trim. The system delivers solid performance and comes with dynamic speed compensation, automatically adjusting volume and tone based on speed and road noise.

Lower trim level CR-Vs come with four, six, and eight-speaker un-branded sound systems.

15. Mesh cabin accents

A metal honeycomb mesh accent spans the width of the CR-V front dash. It's a cool design element that artfully conceals the CR-V's air vents. The metal honeycomb mesh originally debuted on the Civic a couple of years ago.

16. Handsfree liftgate

Available only on the Sport Touring trim, the hands-free power tailgate automatically opens when you kick your foot under the rear bumper when in possession of the key fob.

17. Good cargo space

Behind the CR-V Hybrid's rear seats, you'll find a solid 34.7 cubic feet of storage space. Although it falls short of its rivals by a few cubic feet, the low, flat cargo floor and square shape of the compartment make what room there is very usable.

The Top 11 Things to Do in Belgorod, Russia

It's likely that you've never heard of Belgorod—and it's understandable. Located in southwestern Russia, on the banks of the Donets river near the border with Ukraine, Belgorod has a population of only a few-hundred thousand, and an industrial aesthetic that largely hearkens back to Soviet times. With this being said, Belgorod is one of Russia's fastest growing cities. It's also almost completely lacking in tourists, which makes it the perfect place to have a truly authentic experience. Read on for the top things to do in this growing city.

Marvel at an 18th-Century Cathedral

The most obvious antidote to the decidedly Soviet aesthetic of Belgorod's city center? That would be Smolensky Cathedral, a beautiful but humble Russian Orthodox church that dates back to the 18th century. Clad in a turquoise-colored paint that looks great during any season and under every light, this is definitely among the top things to do in Belgorod. The cathedral is still open to parishioners daily, allowing visitors to marvel at the interior as well.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Another way to transcend the concrete housing blocks that definite Belgorod's cityscape is to take a more figurative approach. Namely, the lions and tigers and bears that call Belgorod Zoo home are, in spirit if not in reality, a perfect antidote to the feeling of being back in Soviet times, which might occasionally befall you elsewhere.

Have a Scream in Central Park

Known officially, in Russian, as Tsentral'nyy Park Kul'tury I Otdykha Imeni V.i. Lenina, Belgorod's answer to Central Park is neither as grand nor as well-manicured as its New York counterpart. However, this green space isn't just for relaxing. In fact, it's home to a number of roller coasters and other kid-friendly rides, which make it a great spot for the whole family to have a thrill—although you can definitely chill, too.

Watch a Battle Unfold in Miniature

The Battle of Kursk was one of the decisive dramas of World War II for the Soviets in their firsts against Nazi tyranny. The hostile conditions that underlied this battle, which took place not far from Belgorod, have thankfully let up significantly. However, if you visit the aptly-named Belgorod Diorama Museum , you can observe a painstaking model of the battle, from start to finish, that local artists have put together.

Admire Terrific Taxidermy

Belgorod's has an interesting history—and not just related to military conflicts. Belgorod's history, human and animal alike, are on display at the Belgorod State Historical Museum ; including taxidermied bodies of animals that make their home in surrounding Belgorod Oblast.

Learn About Vladimir Mayakovsky

Although the Belgorod Literary Museum features the work of a number of writers, the focal point of its exhibition is Vladimir Mayakovsky, who originally hailed from Georgia for what it's worth. Even if you can't read Russian, it's fascinating to learn about the story of Mayakovsky, who was a renowned writer before the Russian Revolution, and who used his considerable skill to stealthily craft satire about Soviet communism until his death by suicide in 1930.

Enjoy a Lush Botanical Garden

Construction of buildings in Belgorod might've taken a utilitarian approach, but the botanical garden at Belgorod State University is anything but. With expansive exhibitions both outdoors and indoors, which allows plants that couldn't otherwise survive in Russia to bloom and thrive, the garden is a veritable explosion of color and lushness, and a trip there might make you forget exactly where you are.

Travel the World Through Photos

Like much of the rest of Russia, Belgorod has cold, wet and even snowy weather for much of the year. The beautiful exhibitions inside the Belgorod Photo Art Gallery are the perfect way to brighten your day, even if it simply feels dull because you've walked past one too many Soviet buildings. Spanning Russian and the rest of the world, and featuring both contemporary and historical photography, this is a great opportunity to travel the world without leaving Russia.

Discover Different Churches

The aforementioned Smolensky Cathedral is probably the most traditionally Russian counter-example to the Soviet architecture that otherwise dominates the city, but there are other options as well. Churches such as the Church of the Holy Martyrs Faith are particularly atmospheric, as their use of unpainted wood evokes the forests that surround Belgorod city.

Take a Beach Day (if It's Warm)

While it's not a typical beach day, one of the best things to do in Belgorod on a sunny day, is to head to the shores of the Donets River. Aim to visit the portion of the river that forms forms a sort of lake just northeast of the city center. It's is neither tropical nor particularly idyllic, but it's an ideal spot for some R&R by the water.

Continue on to Ukraine—Or Not

Because Belgorod sits near the Russian border with Ukraine, many travelers who pass through the city (and, in spite of all the things to do in Belgorod, many visits are doing just that) are ultimately bound for Ukraine or the Crimean Peninsula. Chances are good that a trip to Ukraine is in your future if Belgorod is as well.
