About the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid
With an overall Carivo score of 8.3/10, the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid earns a Recommended rating among the hybrids we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.9/10, while Performance at 7.0/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Honda CR-V Hybrid's reliability at 8.8/10 — among the strongest in our hybrid database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history. Safety is a strength too — 8.9/10 by our scoring. As with any car, verify the official ratings for your specific trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
Performance lands mid-pack at 7.0/10: enough power and composure for everyday needs, without the dynamics that distinguish the segment's driver-focused options. Technology comes in at 7.9/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $34,608–$43,724, 41 MPG, seating 5, the Honda CR-V Hybrid sits in the mid-market bracket of the hybrid segment. The 8.7/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this hybrid delivers more than most of the class. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Bottom line: Think of the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
