Hybrid Confidence and Everyday Tech for 2026 CR-V Drivers in Flowood, MS

Bob Boyte Honda - Hybrid Confidence and Everyday Tech for 2026 CR-V Drivers in Flowood, MS

For many drivers, the value of a compact SUV shows up in everyday moments — the quick merge onto a busy road, the seamless handoff from music to a phone call, the knowing that foul weather won’t derail your plans. That’s why the latest CR-V hybrid trims resonate so well: the electrified powertrain adds smooth low-end torque and quiet cruising, while the cabin’s tech remains intuitive without the learning curve. If you’ve been weighing a jump to an electrified model, the CR-V hybrid makes the transition easy, delivering the confident acceleration and refined feel you want with familiar controls throughout the cabin.

The two-motor hybrid system emphasizes instant response and composure, especially from a stop, where torque arrives the moment you need it. On the open road, the setup shifts smartly to keep the drive quiet and relaxed, aided by a suspension tuned to smooth out rough patches. Real Time AWD™ — standard on select hybrid trims and available across the lineup — adds a layer of assurance for rainy weeks, gravel pull-offs, and weekend getaways, all without complicating your routine. Inside, the standard 9-inch color touch-screen and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your digital life front and center. On the Sport Touring Hybrid, Google built-in integrates navigation and voice assistance in a way that feels natural the first time you use it.

What makes this SUV shine is how it anticipates your day. The hands-free access power tailgate on the Sport Touring Hybrid opens when your arms are full of groceries or sports gear, and the low liftover height means loading is easy. Heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control on EX and above keep the cabin comfortable from the first cool morning through the last late-night return drive. Leather-trimmed seats on EX-L, Sport-L Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid blend a premium look with everyday durability, and a one-touch power moonroof adds a bright, open feel. These touches don’t shout for attention — they simply make your schedule feel lighter, whether it’s a quick errand or a family weekend trip.

Safety remains a cornerstone. Standard Honda Sensing® includes Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control to help reduce stress in traffic and on long commutes. Available Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Monitor lends confidence in crowded parking lots. The multi-angle rearview camera supports precise maneuvering, and Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® on EX and above adds straightforward everyday security. Together, these features help the CR-V deliver a quieter kind of reassurance, the kind you notice in the background, mile after mile.
