Reviews SummaryCompetition amongst small crossover SUVs is fierce. The 2026 Honda CR-V faces off against the Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, Hyundai Tucson, and roughly a dozen other strong-selling compact SUVs from nearly every automaker. And, on balance, the Honda CR-V has handled the competition well. With over 400,000 units sold in 2024–more than half of which were CR-V Hybrids–Honda has plenty to feel good about with the CR-V. But while the CR-V has been thriving, Honda has been finding success with another name, too: TrailSport. This year, the two success stories finally met. Verdict: The CR-V is one of the best compact crossovers on the market, and the hybrid powertrain only makes it better. If adventure and off-road driving are truly in the cards for you, however, the CR-V TrailSport may not be the right choice. | |
Reviews SummaryAs if its 2022 redesign wasn’t dramatic enough, Hyundai has added hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains to the all-new Tucson. With an estimated 33 miles of all-electric driving range, the Tucson PHEV looks like a slam-dunk option for folks shopping in the compact crossover market. How it performs in cold weather, however, may be enough to send shoppers looking at other options. | |
