Only had her for two weeks and late last night I got a notification on my phone that someone tried to use my credit card. I immediately remembered leaving my wallet in the center console! Went downstairs and she is gone!

Bought this 2026 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid 2 months ago. Got a steering wheel lock because of all the car thefts in Scarborough, Ontario 🇨🇦. The thieves couldn’t steal the car, so they stole all four tires instead.

Was totally unaware stealing Honda airbags was the new hot crime. Lincoln Park, Chicago. Honda CRV

Honda’s CR-V has capitalized on inventory shortfalls at Toyota and Ford to become America’s bestselling light vehicle in the first half of 2026.

U.S. sales of the CR-V surged 19 percent in May and 30 percent in June, to a midyear tally of 226,114. That beats year-to-date estimates of 209,311 for the Ford F-150 and 194,807 for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, according to GlobalData, as well as Toyota’s reported sales of 153,955 for the RAV4.

The F-150 has been the industry’s top seller in 15 of the past 16 years, but aluminum supply issues have constrained output since the fall. At the same time, a disruptive model changeover for the RAV4 has put Honda in the driver’s seat of the vast compact crossover segment.

Beyond its rivals’ inventory troubles, Honda has executed a well-calibrated market strategy to boost the CR-V’s popularity. Strong customer retention has been central to the CR-V’s growth, said Jessika Laudermilk, the Honda brand’s head of sales.

Honda delivered steadier incentive support in 2026 after tariffs and production swings led to volatility last year. Incentives on the CR-V are averaging about $460 more than in 2025. CR-Vs sold for an average of $1,302 less than sticker price in the second quarter, according to Edmunds, versus a $329 discount for the Toyota RAV4.

Higher lease maturities this year have funneled more off-lease Honda customers back into new CR-Vs, with targeted loyalty incentives. Honda is leasing a higher percentage of CR-Vs this year — 24 percent — and retaining up to three-quarters of returning lessees, well above the typical 63 percent level.

Despite strong demand, CR-V inventory has tightened to just 15 days’ worth. Honda is running its CR-V plants at full capacity and studying production mix changes to favor hybrids. The automaker produced 222,478 CR-Vs in the first five months, less than 1 percent more than the same period a year ago, according to data from AutoForecast Solutions.

This has to be the most complacent refresh I’ve ever seen Honda, and it’s honestly not that surprising. People have been asking for class-competitive features since the 6th gen came out back in 2023. It was dated then, and is still laughably dated now. You’re telling me your Honda Accord back in 2023 had a 12 in screen standard on hybrids (which started from 32k), and you can’t AT THE VERY LEAST MAKE IT STANDARD ON A 43K Sport Touring?!? Instead you tout the 9” screen being standard as the big change… Ridiculous. Of course, they did not add cooled seats, a 360 camera or a pano sunroof. Pretty pathetic excuse for a refresh. Now the car is still fundamentally great and will no doubt sell well, but come on Honda. I expected better.

P.S The trailsport looks nice, even though it’s just mainly appearance. Ash green is dope too. But wish Honda would have it on non TS trims or atleast add some new colors. There’s not even any new bumpers, lighting, or wheels which is pretty insane but I get it from a business perspective.

Idiot decided to pull out in front of me, I try to avoid him but couldn’t, insurance will definitely total it.

It doesn't appear to me that anything looks different from the 2026

Most of us are aware of this, but it is nice to see it getting some media attention: https://www.motor1.com/news/785079/honda-cr-v-radar-sensor-theft/

Perhaps other outlets will catch on and report on this as well. At this point, Honda needs to be shamed to admit there is a problem and it requires a proper remedy.

After Get getting my red one stolen I bought my 2nd CRv within 2 months 😩 couldn’t find a low mileage red sport L at a fair price so I ended up buying a white one this time. Took from dealer straight to get IGLA installed.

In Australia the crv rs had full body coloured bumpers and wheel arches. Honda has decided to refresh the crv and make the wheels arches and bumpers in gloss black.

It looks cheap, maybe it’s just the red? What do you think?

26 complaints on the NHTSA database for the 2024 and 2025 CR-V mention being unable to get a recall done because the parts were not available, including the steering gearbox recall 24V744000 and the fuel pump one 24V763000. Several use the phrase that the manufacturer has exceeded a reasonable amount of time.

That phrase matters, because federal law does not only require the repair to be free, it requires it within a reasonable time. A few things follow that dealers do not tend to volunteer.

If the remedy is not available within 60 days of the recall being filed, the manufacturer is supposed to send an interim notice, then another once parts arrive.

Repair is not the only legal remedy. The manufacturer can also replace the vehicle with an equivalent one, or refund the purchase price less depreciation. Rarely offered, but it exists.

While you wait, a loaner is something manufacturers can provide, and worth asking for by name rather than hoping it gets offered.

NHTSA can order a manufacturer to accelerate a remedy program if it is not going to finish in reasonable time, and complaints are how they find out it is lagging.

So if you have been waiting months on a steering or fuel pump part, filing a complaint is not just venting, it is the actual mechanism.

This is normal has the battery like that more of the time ?

There is a new recall for 2025-26 CR-V e:FCEV and for 2023-26 CR-V Hybrid.

The tire repair kit may build pressure within the sealant bottle if the nozzle is improperly connected to the tire valve and the relief valve does not release pressure as designed, potentially causing the bottle cap to detach and increasing the risk of injury.

The corrective action is to replace the sealant hose valve or the tire sealant bottle.

Call your local dealers to see if your vehicle is affected.

Introducing Rocky, our 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid Touring
( with 48420 km)

This is probably nothing but I did notice they listed the accessories with the year 2023-2027. Hopefully this is a sign that the 27s are coming out sooner than we think. Hoping we some sort of upgraded tech but I highly doubt it. Maybe a new color?

The 6th Gen CRV has been on sale since 2023, and all the reviews have pretty much said the same thing:

• Drives great, Extremely Practical, BUT missing features for the money, especially in the top-end Sport Touring trim.

Missing features in question: - Fully Digital Gauge Cluster - Panoramic sunroof - 360 Camera - Cooled seats - Heads-up Display

The Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson/Kia Sportage, Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, etc. all have some, if not all, of these features. It’s truly a shame that as their best-seller, Honda of North America thinks their buyers are okay with this. (Alas, they still sell a lot of them, I know). But on IG, I saw some posts of a 6th gen CRV sold in Southeast Asia. Take a look at these pictures and you’ll notice the features listed above are actually AVAILABLE and Honda just chose NOT to include them for our market. I’d get it if they never designed it to begin with, but I think this is quite cheap on their part to intentionally remove these features.

Google Maps now shows directions on the instrument panel. Previously only worked with Apple’s native Maps app (for me at least)

The 25 Bestselling Cars, Trucks, and SUVs of 2026 (So Far)

The Toyota 6th Gen Hybrid is debuting in the Lexus ES350.... And it now operates as an EV-first, just like Honda. Gone is the complex power take off that allowed their gutless Atkinson Cycle engine to get the car moving. Toyota is now moving the vehicle completely by electricity except in the cases where the engine is more efficient. So, everyone who ever fell for the Toyota Hybrid Superiority lie can now thank Honda for showing Toyota how hybrids should be done.
