If you’re interested in a versatile and energetic compact SUV that gets great fuel economy, you’ll want to check out the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid. The traditional gas-engine CR-V was already known for its fuel economy figures, but once Honda added the hybrid powertrain, the CR-V really took off with its efficiency ratings. 

If you’re looking for a Honda dealer near Edmond where you can check out this terrific model, we hope you’ll visit us at Eskdrige Honda, as we have this wonderful model in stock and would love to take you for a test drive. Honda put a lot of thought into designing the 2025 CR-V Hybrid: from what’s under the hood to what’s in the cabin, you’ll find intelligent tech and features that improve convenience and comfort. While we have many others, here are our ten favorite attributes of the 2025 CR-V Hybrid.

#1. Excellent Fuel Efficiency

Whether you’re a professional building your career or you’re a college student on a tight budget, everybody can appreciate saving money at the pump. Thanks to the 2025 CR-V Hybrid’s high fuel economy figures, you can keep some extra cash in your pocket for your financial goals. The EPA estimates that the 2025 CR-V Hybrid gets a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG (for 43 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway) in front-wheel drive, or 37 MPG combined (for 40 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway) in all-wheel drive.[a] 

#2. Traffic Sign Recognition

Between bad weather, overgrown trees, or simply getting distracted, there are plenty of reasons that sometimes even the best drivers may miss a traffic sign. That’s why you’ll appreciate the CR-V Hybrid’s Traffic Sign Recognition feature. This tool uses front-facing cameras to detect upcoming traffic signs and then projects their icons onto your driver information screen, so you get a second chance to see a posted speed limit sign that you might have missed as you were driving past.

#3. Real Time All-Wheel Drive

Whether it’s stormy sleet or refreshing summer rains, the roads in Edmond can get wet. Luckily, if you’re in the 2025 CR-V Hybrid, you can have available Real Time AWD. This intuitive and responsive all-wheel drivetrain responds almost instantly to changing driving conditions. It monitors your steering angle, throttle opening, and other dynamics, and it adjusts the distribution of force between the front and rear wheels accordingly to help you maintain traction. This way, you don’t even have to think about activating AWD; the system automatically turns on when it senses a loss of traction.

#4. The Thrilling Sport Mode

If you simply love the act of driving and want a vehicle that’s as spirited as you are, then you’ll love the CR-V Hybrid’s Sport Mode. When activated, it boosts throttle response, sharpens steering, produces a louder exhaust note, and maximizes horsepower. All in all, you’ll feel more connected to the road and your vehicle, and you’ll be ready to zip around when circumstances permit it!

#5. A Vivid Power Meter

Whether you love knowing the inner workings of a vehicle or just want to keep an eye on your hybrid car’s performance stats, you’ll appreciate the power meter on the driver information center, as it shows you the battery’s output and charging status. Thus, you can determine when you might need to rely more on gas (and pull over to fuel up) or when you can rely more on the battery. Plus, you can see how regenerative braking recharges the battery in real time!

#6. Highly Adjustable Seats

You will be more than comfortable in the driver’s seat of the 2025 CR-V Hybrid thanks to its highly adjustable nature. The driver’s seat boasts 10-way power adjustments with 2-way power lumbar support; you can adjust the seat’s angle and distance from the steering wheels and pedals, and you can use lumbar support to keep your lower back comfortable on long drives. Select trims also have a memory function to recall your preferred seat settings, so if a valet or family member messes with your settings, the vehicle will reset them the next time you turn on the ignition. 

#7. Wireless Phone Charging

The 2025 CR-V Hybrid has smartphone connectivity, so you can sync your Apple or Android smartphone to the touchscreen interface and control your apps from there. But what about charging your phone when you forget your USB cord? That’s not a problem because the 2025 CR-V Hybrid also has a wireless phone charging pad, so you can power up your device without any bothersome cords dangling around your gear shift.

#8. A Premium Sound System

Do you enjoy blasting tunes or listening to podcasts on your commute or during road trips? The Sport Touring trim of the 2025 CR-V Hybrid has you covered with a Bose Premium Sound System. This audio system boasts 12 speakers and a subwoofer for a fully immersive, studio-quality listening experience. We know how important your media is to getting pumped up for a day of work, chilling you out at the end of the day, or setting the vibe for a fun evening out with friends, and this Bose audio system is sure to impress.

#9. A Programmable Tailgate

There will eventually—and maybe often—come a time when you approach your vehicle with arms full of groceries, sports gear, luggage, etcetera, and nobody is around to open the trunk for you, so you have to go through the hassle of putting everything down, manually opening your trunk, and picking everything back up. You can skip all that trouble in the 2025 CR-V Hybrid thanks to its hands-free power tailgate. 

Available on the Sport Touring trim, the hands-free tailgate lets you simply kick your foot beneath the bumper (which contains a sensor) and it will automatically open for you. While the Sport L trim doesn’t have the hands-free function, it does have a power tailgate with a programmable height, so you can decide how high it opens, preventing scratches and dings with lower garages or carports.

#10. Leather-Trimmed Interior

Slide into luxury in the Sport-L and Sport Touring’s cabins, with their leather upholstery and striking orange stitching. Edmond drivers who want a sense of luxury should treat themselves to one of these trims. Whether you want to impress clients, dates, or friends and family, these leather seats lend a VIP look and feel to the CR-V Hybrid.
