Choose your CR-V Hybrid year by trim price at Capital City Honda
The powertrain and EPA ratings are the same in both years, so you are paying for the model year, not for a different car. Capital City Honda sells the CR-V and CR-V Hybrid, so you can set both model years side by side.
What changed on the Honda CR-V Hybrid from 2026 to 2027?
The 2026 Sport Hybrid (2WD) starts at $35,630, and the 2027 at $36,030, a $400 rise that every hybrid trim shares. Read the trim sheet before you assume a change, because the maker’s figures show the hybrid engine unchanged.
What does each 2026 and 2027 CR-V Hybrid trim cost before tax?
Starting prices for 2026 run from $35,630 for the Sport Hybrid (2WD) to $42,550 for the Sport Touring Hybrid (AWD). For 2027 they run from $36,030 to $42,950, $400 more on every trim.
Pick the trim first, then the year. Anyone after the lower MSRP starts with the 2026 Sport Hybrid (AWD) at $37,130. Anyone after the current model year pays $37,530 for the 2027 Sport Hybrid (AWD), $400 more.
What are the EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2026 and 2027 CR-V Hybrid?
The EPA combined rating is the same for the 2026 and 2027 CR-V Hybrid, FWD against AWD. The FWD hybrid is rated 43 city, 36 highway and 40 combined.
EPA’s combined figure is a weighted average of city at 55% and highway at 45%. That weighting is why the FWD hybrid’s combined number sits closer to its city figure. Pick FWD if fuel is your main cost, and AWD if you need traction more than the extra three combined miles per gallon.
What warranty comes with a new 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid?
On the 2026 CR-V Hybrid, basic coverage lasts 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
Those terms cover the whole 2026 model line, so they do not change with trim.
How do you test drive or reserve a CR-V Hybrid in Sacramento?
Test drives can be booked online or by phone at Capital City Honda, 3630 Fulton Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821. Buyers can also reserve an in-transit new vehicle, so a 2026 or 2027 unit not yet on the lot can be held.
The showroom is open seven days a week. Sales hours are 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and the same hours apply on Sunday. Book a drive on the trim and year you are comparing, so you test the same price gap you saw on the page.
When is the 2026 or the 2027 CR-V Hybrid the wrong pick?
The 2026 is the wrong pick for a buyer who needs the newest model year on the lot. The 2027 is the wrong pick for a buyer whose budget stops at the 2026 price. Check the year you want against the trims Capital City Honda currently lists before you commit to a deposit.
If you tow, note that the CR-V LX (2WD) is rated for 1,500 lbs of maximum towing. Confirm that figure against your trailer before you choose a trim.
