When it comes to power, the 2026 CR-V offers the stronger options. It comes standard with a potent 1.5L turbocharged engine producing 190 hp. For drivers in Boardman who prioritize efficiency, an available hybrid powertrain delivers 204 hp and excellent fuel economy. The CR-V also offers a 1,500-pound towing capacity, making it ready for a small trailer or toys.
The 2026 HR-V features a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that generates 158 hp. This engine is perfectly adequate and efficient for city driving and everyday errands around Warren. While it may not offer the hybrid option or towing capacity of the CR-V, its slightly smaller size makes it incredibly nimble and easy to park. Both models offer available Real Time All-Wheel Drive for confident handling in poor weather.
When it comes to interior space, the 2026 CR-V is the clear winner. It offers 39.3 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats, which expands to an impressive 76.5 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. This makes it ideal for busy families in Youngstown.
The 2026 HR-V, while smaller, is surprisingly spacious for a subcompact SUV. It provides 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and up to 55.1 cubic feet when those seats are folded.
The 2026 Honda CR-V generally offers a more premium interior, with higher trim levels like the EX-L and Sport Touring offering amenities not available on the HR-V, such as a Bose® sound system, memory driver seat functions, and Google built-in technology.
