There are a lot of reasons that drivers are excited to check out the all-new Honda CR-V TrailSport, like its impressive off-road focus and great features inside and out. Overall, the CR-V is better than ever for the 2026 model year thanks to a gorgeous new refresh for its sixth generation, making it an amazing choice for a wide range of drivers. Although there's a lot to love about any 2026 Honda CR-V for sale near Mill Creek that you find, the TrailSport takes things a step further with its rugged features that are perfect for anyone who enjoys an outdoor lifestyle. Let's take a closer look at this fantastic and adventurous SUV to see why so many people are talking about it.
Great Overall Performance
Although two engines are available for the 2026 Honda CR-V in general, you'll only find one of them on the TrailSport—fortunately, it's the one we like the most. It's a 2.0L I-4 hybrid engine that's been engineered to focus on both great performance and remarkable fuel efficiency. This beauty delivers 204 hp thanks to a combination of its gas-powered engine and battery-powered motor, along with 247 lb-ft of torque. Considering that this is a compact SUV, that's fantastic power and robust capabilities for a small vehicle, which ensures it's incredibly fun to drive around Mill Creek each day. This is paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission that provides a wonderfully smooth and responsive ride.
Thanks to its hybrid design, you get an estimated 38 MPG in the city, 33 MPG on the highway, and 35 MPG of combined fuel efficiency with the TrailSport.[a] We'll note that's not quite as impressive as the best gas mileage the CR-V hybrid has to offer these days. But that's a small price to pay for its remarkable engineering that focuses more on delivering performance you can count on for your next outdoor adventure. Speaking of which, the TrailSport comes with Real Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) standard, which is perfect for rough winter weather, rainy days, and heading off-road.
Adventurous Engineering and Features
Although we wouldn't necessarily put the TrailSport against a dedicated off-road SUV, it perfectly combines comfort for getting around Mill Creek each day with impressive capabilities that are ideal for getting you to your favorite campsite. As we said, the TrailSport comes with Honda's excellent Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System that can adjust to changing conditions and send power where it's needed in an instant. You get Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist on the TrailSport, which is perfect for dealing with all kinds of rough terrain, along with Active Sound Control for the hybrid engine that's ideal for enjoying the serenity of the great outdoors. The TrailSport comes with ventilated front disc and solid rear disc brakes for excellent overall stopping power, plus 18-inch Shark Gray wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires to keep you in control out on the trail (or on dirt and gravel roads).
You'll find LED headlights and taillights on the TrailSport for excellent illumination while driving at night, plus Gloss Black door handles that look great and black roof rails for added storage options. Remote entry makes it easy to get in and get going (great for both weekday mornings and heading home after a weekend of camping), plus power side mirrors that are heated to keep them clear in winter, a one-touch power moonroof to give you a gorgeous view of the sky overhead, and much more. The TrailSport even comes with a power tailgate with programmable height, which makes it easy to load and unload throughout your next adventure.
Comfortable and Innovative Inside
Even though you might be planning to hit the trail or go camping in the 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport, that doesn't mean you need to be roughing it while you're driving. You get dual-zone automatic climate control inside the TrailSport model, which is perfect for keeping you and your passengers comfortable, plus Amber ambient LED interior lighting that creates a warm environment every time you hit the road. A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel is included along with a leather-wrapped shift knob, plus you get an automatic-dimming rearview mirror that helps you avoid being blinded by others as you drive around Mill Creek. The TrailSport has comfortable seating for five inside, with heated front seats that are quite welcome in the depths of winter and a 10-way power driver's seat with two-way power lumbar.
Tech features in the TrailSport are great for your daily routine and heading outdoors, keeping you connected when you want to be. A nine-inch infotainment display is standard with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with an eight-speaker sound system to fill the interior of your SUV with rich, dynamic audio. You'll find numerous USB ports throughout the cabin, plus a wireless phone charger up front. The TrailSport comes with a gorgeous 10.2-inch Digital Instrument Cluster that makes it easy to keep track of important information as you're driving (even out on the trail). And with Wi-Fi Hotspot capability, you can use your CR-V to stay online when you need to.
Leave Mill Creek Roads Behind, Not Safety
One of the things so many people love about the CR-V TrailSport is that it allows for outdoor adventures without sacrificing comfort, technology, or (most importantly) safety. You get an incredible array of standard safety features in the TrailSport, designed to help protect you and all of your passengers. For starters, there's a Collision Mitigation Braking System that includes a Forward Collision Warning and Brake Assist to let you know about a potential collision and help you avoid it. You also get a Road Departure Mitigation System that features a Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist System that can help you avoid drifting dangerously from your lane. Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow is also standard, which is perfect for getting around Mill Creek, taking trips into Seattle, and heading to your favorite campsite.
The CR-V TrailSport comes with Traffic Jam Assist, something you'll love if your daily commute involves dealing with excess traffic (we know how that goes). You get a Traffic Sign Recognition System that makes it easier to keep track of speed limits and other road conditions, plus a Driver Attention Monitor to warn you if you seem distracted or drowsy. The TrailSport comes with a Blind Spot Information System and Cross Traffic Monitor, both of which aren't standard on all CR-V models; these systems help you in situations where you might not see someone in your blind spot or crossing behind you as you back up. Overall, these features come together beautifully to protect you and others on the road each day.
Come See the CR-V TrailSport for Yourself
As you can see, the first-ever Honda CR-V TrailSport has a lot to offer in a wide range of situations and for all kinds of driving. It's perfect for getting around Mill Creek each day and taking care of anything from running a quick errand to picking up kids from school, but it's equally at home beyond where the pavement ends, roughing it in creeks and mud on the weekend. The beauty of this SUV is that you can get a single vehicle that's ideal in so many different situations, something we can't say about every off-road SUV out there. With so much to offer, it all goes well past the novelty of something new and demonstrates how well Honda understands the needs of their drivers.
