Honda CR-V Surpasses 15 Million Global Sales, 2026 Model Launching with Advanced Hybrid System

Honda's CR-V, launched in 1995, has redefined the global SUV market by prioritizing comfort and versatility, establishing itself as a best-seller with over 15 million units sold worldwide. Marking its 30th anniversary in 2025, the CR-V combines sedan-like comfort, family car versatility, and off-road functionality, supported by innovative design features such as a monocoque body for stability and spaciousness. The sixth-generation CR-V, introduced in 2022, features a two-motor hybrid system that enhances performance, fuel economy, and safety, with a hydrogen fuel cell variant introduced in 2024. The CR-V remains Honda's top-selling model globally over the past decade, with strong market presence in about 150 countries. In comparison with its competitor, the 2026 Toyota RAV4, the CR-V Hybrid offers more rear legroom and recent technology updates, although it has slightly less cargo capacity and horsepower. Honda continues to emphasize the CR-V's role in enhancing mobility and lifestyle, underscored by the launch of a commemorative website and anniversary logo celebrating three decades of the model's impact.
