Honda Overhauls 2026 CR‑V in Australia With Four Hybrids, Including First AWD e:HEV

Overview

• - The hybrid lineup now runs from the e:HEV X at $49,900 drive-away to the e:HEV RS AWD at $64,400, with the e:HEV L at $53,900 and e:HEV LX AWD at $58,900.
• - Petrol choices are cut to two grades — VTi X and seven-seat VTi L7 — after several deletions that raise the entry to three-row ownership by $7600.
• - All models add a 9.0-inch infotainment system with Google Built-in, a wider-available 10.2-inch digital cluster, and most hybrids gain a 360-degree camera system.
• - The e:HEV RS AWD flagship receives a head-up display, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and black exterior accents.
• - Powertrains carry over with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol (140kW/240Nm) and a 2.0-litre hybrid (135kW/335Nm), and the Australian CR‑V retains a four‑star ANCAP rating without several driver-assist features offered overseas.
