2026 Honda CR-V Specs Comparison
The 2026 Honda CR-V is not just a powerhouse SUV -- it's a powerhouse SUV that sips fuel like your favorite compact cars. Credit the available Honda hybrid engine, which returns up to 43 city MPG1 in select trims of the new CR-V. Connecticut Honda fans can expect to see their fuel expenses take a delightful drop if they buy a new CR-V Hybrid near New Britian.
If you don't upgrade to the hybrid, the standard turbocharged engine delivers an exhilarating yet efficient drive every time you hit the road. The CX-5, on the other hand? Without a turbo to aid it, the base models struggle to deliver adequate power and suck down gas when delivering full power. Its worse fuel economy is proof that Honda engineering is still the best in the business, and Mazda has plenty of work to do to catch up.

- Turbocharged Engine: Standard
- Hybrid Engine: Available
- Max City MPG*: 43*
2025 Mazda CX-5

Compare the 2026 Honda CR-V Features
Step inside any 2026 Honda CR-V, for sale in West Simsbury, and you'll instantly discover one of the most spacious, beautifully crafted interiors at this price point. You'll quickly discover that Honda is generous enough to give you amenities like standard automatic climate control and leather-trimmed seats, luxuries absent on base CX-5 SUVs.
The Mazda also falls well short of the Honda in its hauling abilities, as its mere 59.3 cubic feet of space falls well short of the 76.5 cubic feet of maximum CR-V cargo volume. Factor in Honda-exclusive touches like Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® and it's easy to see why no new Mazda SUV can measure up to the smart, sensible CR-V for sale near New Britian.
