2026 Honda CR-V e:HEV RS review: Long-term conclusion
How did our flagship Honda CR-V hybrid perform over two months of ‘ownership’ and is the electrified mid-size SUV a good pick for families?

Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V is Honda's mid-sized SUV and one of its most important family models in Australia. It offers five- and seven-seat layouts depending on variant, with a focus on space, visibility, comfort and easy everyday use. The CR-V appeals to families who want a practical SUV with Honda familiarity and a less rugged character than ute-based alternatives. Hybrid availability gives it a stronger efficiency story, while the cabin packaging remains one of its biggest strengths. It competes in a crowded class against the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, but its appeal is simple: roomy, sensible and easy to live with.
