For the 2026 model year, the Honda CR-V arrives with an expanded suite of standard technologies—further solidifying its status as a practical, safe, and connected SUV. Built in Canada, the CR-V remains a top pick for Quebec drivers seeking a reliable, comfortable, and forward-looking vehicle.
A Modern, More Connected Interior
Among the most notable upgrades, all 2026 CR-V models now come equipped with a new 9-inch colour touchscreen—larger and more user-friendly than in previous generations.

A wireless smartphone charger is also included on all trims, making it easier than ever to stay powered up on the go.
Higher hybrid trims—including the Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, and Touring—stand out with a 10.2-inch fully digital instrument cluster. This customizable display gives drivers easy access to key vehicle info, driving assistance settings, and personal preferences.
More Standard Safety Across the Board
Safety is front and centre in the 2026 CR-V. Every model comes equipped with Honda Sensing, the brand’s comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. This includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane keeping assist, and blind spot information system.
Additionally, all trims now come with ten airbags, including front knee airbags and rear side airbags—a notable upgrade for family-oriented buyers. A rear seat reminder is also standard, offering added peace of mind for families with young children.
A Well-Equipped TrailSport Edition
New for 2026 is the CR-V Hybrid TrailSport, combining rugged design and smart technology. This trim includes standard all-wheel drive, Continental all-terrain tires, and distinctive styling touches. Inside, you'll find amber ambient lighting, embossed all-weather floor mats, and TrailSport-branded headrests. Like other well-equipped models, it features the 9-inch touchscreen, 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless connectivity, and wireless charging.
A Compact SUV at the Cutting Edge
With its upgraded standard tech, the 2026 Honda CR-V raises the bar once again. Simplified connectivity, advanced safety, and intuitive digital interfaces reflect Honda’s commitment to offering a vehicle that’s not just functional, but also modern and accessible. For Quebec drivers, it’s the assurance of owning an SUV that’s ready for daily life—and built for whatever comes next.
