Looking for the perfect compact SUV for enjoying adventures and daily life around the Sooner State? As a Honda dealer near Norman, we know just what models and features elevate the behind-the-wheel experience for our local customers and we think Norman drivers will really like all that the 2025 Honda CR-V has to offer.

Perhaps you’ve already seen this sporty SUV around the city and have been wanting to learn about it. Or, maybe you’ve always been a Honda CR-V driver and already know how great it is—it didn’t earn a spot on Car and Driver’s 10Best list for nothing.[a] Whether you don’t know much about the CR-V and want to work with a dealership who can tell you all about it, or you’re well-versed in this compact SUV and want a dealership that can get you in your next new model, visit us. In the meantime, here are reasons we think the 2025 CR-V is great for Norman drivers.

Features to Enhance Any Adventure

How can you not take advantage of having the stunning natural landmark of Lake Thunderbird State Park just a short drive away? We know Norman residents like to enjoy the many activities on land and water available at Lake Thunderbird and the 2025 CR-V is ready to make your adventures even more fun!

First, it has an available one-touch power moonroof, so on those beautiful spring Norman days when you want to enjoy a warm breeze inside your vehicle or soak up a little sunshine, just press a button, and the sky will open up. You can leave the moonroof closed if you just want natural light, or open it for fresh air. Your rear-seat passengers will also love that their seatbacks recline for times they want to really take in the views above them.

Want to turn the inside of your SUV into what feels like a private concert? Then, you’ll love the Bose sound system with Centerpoint surround-sound technology. This special technology converts your music into several channels, resulting in a completely immersive listening experience where not a single passenger will complain they can’t hear the tunes (or audiobook, podcast, or similar media). You’ll love having this feature whether you’re adventuring with friends or tackling a solo commute and want to stay entertained.

If you plan on enjoying all of the great hiking trails in the area, then you (and perhaps your four-legged companions) will be getting back in the vehicle with some muddy boots (and paws). That’s where the all-season floor mats come in. They’re designed to rise high, covering parts of the walls to protect the interior from getting too messy.

Cargo Solutions Made Simple

Whether you stay in town and need a way to transport antiques you find on Main Street or head out of town for a camping trip, you should be able to bring all the stuff you need to enjoy your days in the CR-V. First, let’s look at the cavernous trunk. Honda designed the trunk to have a low and wide opening, making it easy to load large items in without too much effort. You’ll also like how you can access that trunk, which is through the available hands-free power tailgate. All you have to do is make a kicking motion beneath the bumper, and the tailgate will open automatically, so when your hands are too full to open the trunk manually, you don’t have to.

If you need even more cargo space than the standard trunk provides, you can fold down the rear seats or split them if you only need a little extra space. With the rear seats down, you’ll enjoy a generous 76.5 cu.ft. of cargo space. So what happens when your trunk space is full, but you still need to bring some additional trip essentials? That’s where the available roof rails come in. You can use these to transport items that don’t fit in the trunk. They’re perfect for adventurous folks who enjoy kayaking, inner tubing, and other outdoor activities. Finally, you can bring a small boat or camper with you, thanks to the CR-V’s maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs (when properly equipped).

A Hybrid Engine Option and a Variety of Standard Safety Features

In addition to the traditional gas engine powertrain option, there’s also a hybrid option. That’s right: if you love the CR-V and have been wanting to get a hybrid, now you can have it all. The hybrid model sees great fuel economy figures, getting EPA-estimated ratings of 43 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway.[b] Plus, if you want to know the status of your battery, there’s a power meter for that. It shows you your battery’s output and recharging status.

The hybrid model is a ton of fun, too, thanks to its Sport mode. Activate this, and you’ll feel the real power of this powertrain. You’ll experience thrilling acceleration response in Sport mode for some spirited driving. Don’t want to choose between a permanent AWD or FWD vehicle? You don’t have to. The 2025 CR-V has Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control. It monitors the road, sending torque to the rear wheels when it senses traction loss. It’s great for added control when cornering or when you’re tackling rain and snow on your journey.

You’ll also appreciate the tremendous driver-assist features that come standard in the 2025 Honda CR-V. Between features like the Road Departure Mitigation System, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control, you’ll feel secure on the road, whether you stick to familiar grounds or explore new ones. These systems will help you be a safer driver, alerting you to potential collisions and even taking over steering and braking when necessary.
