The 2027 Honda CR-V carries over its acclaimed sixth-generation design, offering a choice between a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine and a 2.0L hybrid powertrain. Starting at $31,520 for the LX 2WD trim, the lineup delivers up to an EPA-estimated 40 mpg combined on hybrid configurations, 39 cubic feet of rear cargo space, and standard Honda Sensing driver-assist technology across all models.

As a continuation of the sixth-generation crossover architecture introduced recently, the 2027 model emphasizes functional interior design, exceptional passenger room, and refined road manners. The cabin integrates honeycomb dash trim concealing the air vents, intuitive physical climate controls, and a standard digital or semi-digital instrument display. Whether you choose the front-wheel-drive or real time all-wheel-drive setup, the chassis balances bump absorption with stable cornering feedback for effortless suburban driving.

For drivers navigating flat coastal roadways and heavy stop-and-go vacation traffic in Myrtle Beach, the CR-V provides an ideal mix of calm cabin insulation and low-end throttle responsiveness. As the Largest Honda dealership in South Carolina and the #1 total volume New & Pre-Owned car dealer in Myrtle Beach, East Coast Honda maintains an extensive selection of trims on our lot.

What Engine Options, Horsepower, and Fuel Economy Ratings Does the 2027 CR-V Offer?

The 1.5L turbocharged engine in the 2027 Honda CR-V delivers 190 horsepower, while the hybrid variant boosts output to 204 horsepower with enhanced torque. Front-wheel-drive hybrid models achieve an EPA-estimated 43 mpg city / 36 mpg highway ( 40 mpg combined), while standard turbocharged gas models with front-wheel drive deliver an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city / 33 mpg highway ( 30 mpg combined).

The gas-powered lineup—available on the LX, EX, and EX-L trims— pairs the turbocharged engine with a continuously variable transmission ( CVT). This combination relies on early torque delivery at 1700 rpm to pull smoothly away from intersections without requiring high engine speeds. All-wheel-drive gas models drop slightly to an EPA-estimated 27 mpg city / 31 mpg highway, using an electronic transfer setup that dynamically routes power to the rear axle when front-wheel slip is detected.

The hybrid powertrain powers the Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, TrailSport AWD, and Sport Touring AWD trims. By pairing a natural-aspiration four-cylinder engine with two electric drive motors, the hybrid system generates instant off-the-line acceleration while eliminating traditional gear shifts. On all-wheel-drive hybrid models, fuel economy stands at an EPA-estimated 40 mpg city / 34 mpg highway. Drivers can also adjust deceleration feel using steering-wheel-mounted regenerative braking paddles.

How Much Cargo Space and Rear Legroom Does the 2027 Honda CR-V Have?

The 2027 Honda CR-V provides 39 cubic feet of rear cargo space behind the second row in its lowest floor position, expanding to 77 cubic feet when the 60/40 split rear seatbacks are folded flat. Rear-seat passengers benefit from 41 inches of legroom, establishing one of the most generous back-seat environments in the compact crossover category.

Interior packaging maximizes usable space through low sill heights and wide rear door openings that swing open nearly 90 degrees. Loading heavy coolers, luggage, or stroller frames requires minimal lift effort over the rear bumper threshold. The dual-height cargo floor allows owners to drop the floor panel by roughly 2 inches to keep upright items secure, while low side wall cutouts accommodate golf bags positioned laterally across the cargo bay.

For growing families, the back row easily accommodates child safety seats. Exposed LATCH lower anchors positioned directly between the seat cushion folds make clicking infant bases or convertible car seats into place quick and straightforward. The wide bench width allows two full-sized child seats to sit alongside an adult passenger, or three narrow car seats positioned across the row when properly configured.

Commuters driving into coastal employment centers from Conway along US-501 appreciate how the 41 inches of rear legroom accommodates adult passengers comfortably without forcing front occupants to slide their seats forward. Before visiting our dealership, you can explore our new Honda CR-V selection to compare interior trim materials, or prequalify for financing online to streamline your purchase process.

How Does the 2027 Honda CR-V Compare to the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson?

When evaluated against key segment rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson, the 2027 Honda CR-V leads in rear legroom ( 41 inches versus the RAV4’s 38 inches) and total cargo volume ( 77 cubic feet versus the RAV4’s 70 cubic feet and the Tucson’s 75 cubic feet). Additionally, the CR-V Hybrid's 247 lb-ft of torque surpasses the non-hybrid RAV4's 184 lb-ft of torque for responsive low-speed acceleration.

In real-world driving comparisons, the CR-V relies on a longer 106-inch wheelbase to deliver a more compliant, settled ride over cracked pavement than the firmer RAV4. While the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers a higher overall towing figure on specific trims, the gas-powered CR-V holds a competitive 1,500 lbs towing capacity, sufficient for small utility trailers or personal watercraft. The Tucson offers comparable interior dimensions, but the CR-V features physical HVAC dials and volume knobs that drivers can adjust without taking their eyes off the road to navigate touchscreen menus.

Our sales advisors frequently observe shoppers cross-shopping the CR-V Sport Hybrid against the RAV4 Hybrid on our showroom floor. Buyers regularly comment on the CR-V’s wider front seat cushions and clearer outward visibility through the lower cowl line during comparative test drives.

What Safety Features Come Standard with Honda Sensing on the 2027 CR-V?

Every 2027 Honda CR-V comes standard with the Honda Sensing active safety and driver-assistive suite, featuring Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist, and Traffic Sign Recognition. Grounded crash-test evaluation by NHTSA awards the 2027 CR-V a top 5-star overall safety rating.

The front camera radar module utilizes a wide 90-degree field of view to track pedestrians, cyclists, and lane boundaries accurately. Collision Mitigation Braking System automatically applies brake pressure if an unavoidable frontal impact is detected. Adaptive Cruise Control smoothly manages following gaps in heavy highway traffic, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop and resuming motion when traffic clears without driver pedal input.

Passive passenger protection includes ten standard airbags, featuring next-generation front airbags engineered to cradle the head and reduce rotation during angular frontal collisions. Driver and front-passenger knee airbags, along with side-curtain airbags equipped with a rollover sensor, line the cabin ceiling.

East Coast Honda is proud to be recognized as the Highest Rated Honda Dealership in South Carolina and the Highest Rated Car Dealership in Myrtle Beach.

What Warranty Coverage and Maintenance Costs Come With the 2027 Honda CR-V?

The 2027 Honda CR-V includes a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and an 8-year/100,000-mile hybrid battery warranty on hybrid models, supplemented by 1 year or 12,000 miles of factory complimentary scheduled maintenance. Data from RepairPal ranks the CR-V sixth out of 29 compact SUVs for long-term dependability, with average annual unscheduled repair costs running approximately $358 per year.

Standard routine maintenance schedules are dictated by the vehicle's Maintenance Minder system, which monitors engine operating temperatures, revs, and drive cycles to calculate oil life precision. Typical service stops recur every 7,500 to 10,000 miles for engine oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections. Because the hybrid system utilizes regenerative braking to slow the vehicle, brake pad wear on hybrid trims is significantly lower than on standard combustion crossovers.

Starting MSRP figures across the lineup reflect clear feature progressions, beginning at $31,520 for the LX 2WD, $33,550 for the EX 2WD, $35,800 for the EX-L 2WD, and $36,030 for the Sport Hybrid 2WD. Top-tier variants include the Sport-L Hybrid 2WD at $39,125, the rugged TrailSport AWD at $39,200, and the fully appointed Sport Touring AWD at $42,950 (all subject to a standard $1,550 destination charge).
