2025 Vs. 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid: A Side-By-Side Comparison

May 16th, 2025 by

Honda’s CR-V Hybrid remains a strong choice for drivers looking for smart fuel use, comfort, and flexibility. With both the 2024 and 2025 models available at Frank Leta Honda, shoppers have the benefit of choosing between two well-rounded SUVs. This comparison walks through what sets each model apart while showing how both maintain Honda’s well-earned reputation for reliability and value.

Rather than pushing one over the other, we aim to help you decide which model fits your needs best—whether that means a more recent release or a slightly more affordable choice with nearly identical capabilities.

Trim Options and Pricing Differences

Starting prices have increased slightly for the 2025 lineup. For reference, the 2024 CR-V Hybrid starts at $33,350 for the Sport trim. Stepping up to Sport-L brings the price to $34,650, while Sport Touring begins at $41,595. For 2025, pricing starts at $36,045 for Sport, $39,045 for Sport-L, and $42,495 for Sport Touring.

Shoppers still get the same trim lineup with both years, which makes side-by-side comparisons simple. Most of the price difference comes from market updates and minor design refinements rather than feature changes.

Engine Specs and Fuel Ratings

Both model years feature the same 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine combined with two electric motors. This powertrain produces 204 horsepower and supports smooth, efficient performance whether driving around town or cruising on the highway.

Gas mileage numbers remain steady between years. Front-wheel drive versions reach 43 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. All-wheel drive trims dip slightly but still offer strong overall efficiency. This consistency benefits drivers looking to prioritize fuel savings.

Cabin Layout and Connectivity

Inside both versions, drivers and passengers can enjoy a quiet and refined space. Standard features include heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. Higher trims add wireless phone charging, more refined materials, and upgraded finishes.

Technology features follow the same pattern for both years. Sport trims feature a 7-inch touchscreen, while the Sport-L and Sport Touring models come with a larger 9-inch display that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Whether you want simplicity or premium tech, each version offers strong value.

Cargo Space and Daily Use

Storage capacity remains one of the CR-V Hybrid’s best traits, though a slight variation appears in the rear cargo figures. The 2024 model lists 39.3 cubic feet of space behind the second row. For 2025, that number comes in at 36.3 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded down, both models provide up to 76.5 cubic feet of usable space.

Despite this minor change, both versions handle weekend trips, groceries, or strollers with ease. A low floor and wide rear opening make loading and unloading more convenient, regardless of the model year.

Safety Features and Driver Confidence

Honda’s suite of driver-assistance tools appears across both model years. Features include Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Road Departure Mitigation. Blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alerts also come standard on most trims.

No major safety differences exist between the 2024 and 2025 models. That consistency means you can expect advanced protection whether you choose the newer release or the slightly earlier version.

Styling and Exterior Details

Design updates for 2025 are subtle but noticeable. The newer model leans into a bolder appearance, with gloss-black wheels and a wider stance available on certain trims. Headlights and tail lamps continue to use LED technology across both years.

Both models have a modern profile that fits city streets or highway drives. If visual updates matter to you, the 2025 may feel fresher. Otherwise, the 2024 retains all the same key features without a higher price tag.
