September 2026: Thirty years ago, Honda introduced a new kind of SUV to the world, one designed not simply to take on the road, but to adapt to the people travelling in it.
For 2026, Honda celebrates 30 years of CR-V, marking three decades of evolution, innovation and versatility. The latest CR-V carries that legacy forward with a compelling combination of sophisticated design, spacious practicality, advanced connectivity and everyday usability.
And now, the CR-V family welcomes a new member. The “LX Sport” grade, bringing an impressive collection of technology, convenience and premium features to even more customers.
30 Years of Going Further
The CR-V has evolved dramatically since 1995, but its fundamental philosophy remains unchanged: create an SUV that fits effortlessly into different lifestyles.
Whether it is the school run, the daily commute, a family road trip or a spontaneous weekend escape, the CR-V is engineered around the idea that no two journeys, or drivers are exactly alike.
Its three-row configuration provides seating for up to seven occupants, while the adaptable interior allows the CR-V to respond to changing passenger and cargo requirements. Tri-zone air conditioning further enhances passenger comfort, making it easier for different occupants to enjoy their preferred cabin environment and the flexibility needed for everyday family life.
LX Sport makes a confident first impression
With Honda's distinctive modern SUV direction, its design combining a sleek, low horizontal beltline with a bold front end and longer, wider proportions. The result is a stronger road presence while maintaining the refined character expected from the CR-V.
Distinctive black alloy wheels add a premium yet sporty character, while the piano Black accent trims and Roof Rails, introduce a more rugged personality for drivers with an adventurous side.
At the front, the powerful fascia incorporates a distinctive grille and full LED headlights, while the rear is instantly recognizable thanks to its signature vertical all-LED taillights.
The new grade is designed for customers who want the practicality and versatility of the CR-V combined with a generous selection of technology, comfort and convenience features.
Rather than simply adding another choice to the range, the front wheel drive LX Sport brings together features that enhance the experience for both driver and passengers, from connected technology and entertainment to comfort and parking convenience. The LX Sport grade has added some premium features such as, Panoramic sunroof, Leather seats, Connected car, Honda Sensing, DR.+AS. Power seats, Wireless charger, wireless Carplay, 18 inch Black alloy wheels and much more.
One of the standout technology features is Google built-in, bringing familiar Google services directly into the vehicle. Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play are integrated into the experience, while voice activation allows drivers to interact with functions naturally. From navigation to entertainment and climate, control commands, the system is designed to make every day driving simpler and more intuitive. It is technology designed around a simple idea: less distraction, more convenience.
For those who believe the journey should sound as good as it feels, the new Front wheel drive LX Sport adds a premium Bose CenterPoint Surround 12 Speaker Audio System. This ingenious technology allows each occupant to enjoy a concert hall like sound feel, no matter where you are seated, making everything from the morning commute to a long-distance road trip more enjoyable.
The panoramic sunroof adds another dimension to the CR-V cabin.
By opening the roof to natural light and creating a greater sense of openness, it helps make the spacious interior feel even more inviting, particularly on longer journeys.
With smartphones playing an increasingly important role in everyday life, the CR-V keeps occupants powered and connected with front USB connectivity and charging capability.
It is a small detail that makes a significant difference on family journeys, particularly when multiple passengers rely on their devices throughout the day.
The cabin designed around real life also combines modern materials with thoughtful design. A silver hairline finish, while the distinctive metal honeycomb mesh across the dashboard creates a sophisticated visual centrepiece and integrates the air vents into the design.
After 30 years of evolution, the Honda CR-V continues to set the standard for versatile, connected and confident SUV driving, now with the new Front wheel Drive LX Sport, benefiting from the 1.5 VTEC Turbo engine, introduced earlier.
