Sloane Honda Reviews the 2025 CR-V Sport-L Hybrid
Honda's most popular model, the CR-V, returns the Sport-L to its 2025 hybrid lineup.
This exclusive hybrid trim bridges the gap between CR-V's Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid.
Before diving into which new 2025 CR-V hybrid is right for you, it's important to first compare them to the 100% gas CR-V.
CR-V hybrids get 10-more combined miles per gallon than the non-hybrid (40 vs. 30). If that does not seem like a lot, consider this. Over a standard 36-month lease at 12,000 miles per year, a 2025 CR-V Hybrid will consume about 300 fewer gallons. That's over 20 tanks of gas - approximately $1,000 in fuel savings.
However, the hybrid has a higher upfront price. The base 2025 CR-V LX's MSRP starts at $30,100. The base CR-V Sport Hybrid's starting MSRP is $34,350.
CR-V Sport Hybrid features not available on the LX include 18-inch Wheels, a Moonroof, Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System, and 240-Watt Audio System with 6 Speakers.
All CR-Vs seat five and have the same dimensions: 184.8" L x 73.5" W x 66.2-66.5" H.
