2025 Honda CR-V Updates: What's New?
The 2025 Honda CR-V redesign isn't so much a refresh as it is a carryover because the CR-V trims just received big updates in 2023 and 2024. The 2023 trims were pared down to three gas-only options and two hybrid powertrains, and the following year, the Sport-L variant was added.
The 2025 Honda CR-V retains the same intelligent features and specs as its predecessor, but that's just fine with us. The 2025 Honda CR-V trim levels also mirror the 2024 lineup. Truthfully, when an SUV is as beloved and award-winning as the CR-V, not much needs to be changed.

2025 Honda CR-V Exterior
At first glance, the 2025 Honda CR-V exterior seems fairly standard: A modern grille pairs with slashed front headlights, and a gently contoured hood and rounded liftgate give the SUV an approachable feel. What you might not notice are the front and rear stabilizer bars and multi-link rear suspension that increase confidence on curves, 17- or 18-inch wheels that help preserve fuel economy, and an impressive 7.8- or 8.2-inch ground clearance (drivetrain-dependent) that lets you feel like an off-roader every now and then.
Its compact SUV size makes the new Honda CR-V perfect for commuting or tight parking spaces – in fact, at only 184.8 inches long, you'll be hard-pressed to find a place this sport-ute can't park. If you routinely drive at night, you'll love the 2025 Honda CR-V headlights and taillights, which are all LED for maximum visibility. A roofline spoiler with integrated brake light bumps up your model's aesthetic and safety, and gorgeous 2025 Honda CR-V colors like Meteoric Gray Metallic and Canyon River Blue Metallic are eye-catching in the sunshine.
2025 Honda CR-V Interior
The 2025 Honda CR-V may be a compact SUV on the outside, but its cabin is comfy and ready to road-trip. Front headroom is at least 38.2 inches, offering plenty of space for tall teens and adults to relax. The entry-level EX trim is even more spacious, with 40 inches of front headroom. Backseats in some compact SUVs are cramped and lead to arguments, but the 41 inches of rear legroom across all six 2025 Honda CR-V trim levels leaves plenty of room for peaceful travel.
Kids love to ride in the new CR-V thanks to its convenient rear armrest and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity, and adults appreciate the seven- or nine-inch color touch screen and heated front seats that cover all but the LX trim. Much like the rest of our new Honda inventory, the 2025 CR-V also delivers helpful standard Honda CR-V safety features like these:
- Head restraints in every seating position
- Collision-Mitigation Braking system
- Side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, plus eight additional airbags
- Driver Attention Monitor
- Multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines
- Blind-Spot Information System and Cross Traffic Monitor in five trims
