The version combines off-road robustness with a state-of-the-art hybrid engine, reinforcing the automaker's presence in the electric vehicle segment.

With standard all-wheel drive, exclusive design, hybrid engine and a wide range of technological equipment, the Honda CR-V 2026 TrailSport Hybrid is part of a renewed line that focuses on sustainability, performance and safety. The debut of the TrailSport version with hybrid engine is unprecedented and meets a growing demand for SUVs with off-road vocation and lower environmental impact.
Robust design and focus on off-road use
Unlike other versions of the 2026 Honda CR-V, the TrailSport stands out visually with a piano black finish, exclusive 18-inch wheels in Shark Gray and TrailSport emblems throughout the body. The SUV is also equipped with Continental CrossContact ATR all-terrain tires and an improved traction management system, ideal for trails, snow and mud.

Currently, more than 50% of the model's sales are hybrid versions, a trend that should continue in the new cycle.

Expectations for Brazil

Brazilian gasoline will destroy these engines...our gasoline with 30% alcohol is rotten
I'm in love with the Honda CRV. I've had two. Today I have my wife's Honda HRV. I'm waiting for the 2026 CRV. I recommend Honda.
Many years ago a colleague told me: “The day you have a Honda car, you will never leave the brand again”; At the time I had a Chevrolet car, after a while I bought a Civic and today I have a CR-V, zero headache, it was the best advice I ever received.
