2026 Honda CR-V in Altoona, IA

Honda of Altoona is thrilled to introduce the 2026 Honda CR-V, the crossover that continues to define the segment for families in Iowa. This year, the CR-V expands its horizons with a major update that brings more rugged capability and standard premium technology to your daily drive. Whether you are running errands around the Outlets of Des Moines or heading out for a camping trip at Adventureland, the 2026 CR-V adapts to your lifestyle with effortless style. The headline news for 2026 is the debut of the first-ever CR-V TrailSport Hybrid, a trim designed specifically for those who want to take their adventures off the beaten path without sacrificing the efficiency Honda is known for.

Interior

The cabin of the 2026 CR-V is a masterclass in modern usability and comfort. A significant upgrade for this model year is that every single trim level now comes standard with a large 9-inch color touchscreen, ensuring that top-tier connectivity is available to everyone. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are now standard across the board, allowing you to leave the cables at home while keeping your maps and music fully integrated.

The interior offers class-leading cargo space, with easy-fold rear seats that create a cavernous area for groceries, sports gear, or home improvement supplies. On the new TrailSport trim, you will find exclusive orange contrast stitching and durable all-season floor mats ready for muddy boots.

Exterior

The exterior of the 2026 CR-V projects a confident and sophisticated presence on the roads of Altoona. Its long hood and wide stance give it a premium look, while the vertical taillights pay homage to the classic CR-V design DNA.

The all-new TrailSport trim stands out with a more aggressive front fascia, a faux skid plate, and unique 18-inch black alloy wheels wrapped in rugged all-terrain tires. For those who prefer a sleeker aesthetic, the Sport Touring Hybrid features dual chrome exhaust finishers and gloss-black accents that look stunning under the city lights.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 CR-V offers two distinct powertrains to match your driving needs. The LX, EX, and EX-L models are powered by a responsive 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivering 190 horsepower, providing plenty of pep for highway merging.

The hybrid lineup, which includes the Sport, Sport-L, Sport Touring, and the new TrailSport, utilizes a powerful two-motor hybrid system generating 204 horsepower. This setup not only delivers instant torque for quick acceleration but also achieves impressive fuel economy ratings. The available Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ has been updated for better traction management, giving you peace of mind during snowy Iowa winters.

Safety Features

Honda continues to lead the industry in safety innovation, and the 2026 CR-V is no exception. Every model comes equipped with the enhanced Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive technologies. This includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System™, which can detect pedestrians and cyclists, and the Road Departure Mitigation System.

New for 2026, Blind Spot Information and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor are now standard on more trims, acting as an extra set of eyes when changing lanes on I-80 or backing out of a busy parking spot. Traffic Jam Assist also comes standard, helping to reduce the stress of stop-and-go commute traffic.
