Honda CR-V statistics at a glance

The Honda CR-V keeps putting up numbers that are hard to ignore: record U.S. sales, a hybrid mix that now defines the nameplate, and global volume that places it among the world’s biggest SUVs.

The standout angle is simple: this is no longer just a strong-selling compact SUV, but one of Honda’s most important vehicles across nearly every major metric.

Big number: American Honda sold 402,791 CR-V units in the U.S. in 2024, setting a new annual sales record for the model.

Honda CR-V sales statistics and U.S. growth trends

The CR-V set a new U.S. sales record in 2024 at 402,791 units. That made it American Honda’s top-selling model in the United States and the first Honda vehicle to clear 400,000 annual U.S. sales since the Accord did it in 2001.

U.S.

CR-V sales rose 11% from 2023 to 2024. Honda went from 361,457 units in 2023 to 402,791 in 2024, a gain of more than 41,000 units in a single year.

Momentum continued into 2025, but growth slowed sharply. U.S. sales edged up to 403,768 units in 2025, just a 0.24% increase over the 2024 record.

Why it matters: The CR-V did not just rebound after weaker 2022 volume.

It moved from 238,155 units in 2022 to 361,457 in 2023, then to 402,791 in 2024, showing a steep multi-year climb.

2023 361,457 Up vs.
2022
2024 402,791 +11%
2025 403,768 +0.24%
2019 384,168 Pre-2024 record benchmark

Even before the full-year 2024 record, the CR-V was already near the top of the U.S. market. In the first half of 2024, Honda sold 196,204 CR-Vs, enough to rank 2nd among best-selling SUVs in the U.S., trailing only the Toyota RAV4 at 248,295.

Across all U.S. vehicles, not just SUVs, the CR-V ranked 4th in 2024 with 402,791 sales.

That places it in an elite volume tier usually reserved for the market’s biggest mainstream leaders.

Key takeaways

  • The CR-V was Honda’s top-selling U.S. model in 2024.
  • It became the first Honda since 2001 to exceed 400,000 U.S. annual sales.
  • The jump from 2022 to 2024 was dramatic, rising from 238,155 to 402,791.
  • Growth remained positive in 2025, but at a far slower pace than 2024.

Honda CR-V hybrid statistics and electrification data

Hybrid demand is now central to the CR-V story. Honda sold more than 203,000 CR-V hybrid units in the U.S. in 2024, and those hybrids accounted for 50% of total U.S.

CR-V sales.

That hybrid mix was already high in 2023. In that year, 55% of U.S.

CR-V sales were hybrid-electric models, showing that electrified demand has become a defining part of the nameplate’s market position.

The CR-V is also a major contributor to Honda’s broader electrification push. Electrified Honda models, including CR-V hybrids, represented more than 25% of total Honda brand U.S. sales in 2024.

Pull quote: One out of every two CR-Vs sold in the U.S. in 2024 was a hybrid.

The hybrid story matters because it helps explain why the CR-V has remained relevant in a segment that represented 21.1% of the U.S. light vehicle market in December 2024.

In a giant compact non-premium SUV segment, efficiency has become one of the clearest volume drivers.

Honda CR-V global market statistics and worldwide milestones

The CR-V is not only a U.S. success story. Global Honda CR-V sales reached 738,315 units in 2024, up 4.2% year over year.

That total made the CR-V the world’s 3rd best-selling SUV in 2024. It also ranked as Honda’s top-selling model globally, underlining the vehicle’s importance far beyond North America.

At a glance

  • 738,315 global CR-V sales in 2024
  • +4.2% global year-over-year growth
  • 3rd best-selling SUV worldwide in 2024
  • 15 million+ cumulative sales by October 2025
  • 150 countries where the CR-V is sold

The long-term volume base is massive. Cumulative global Honda CR-V sales exceeded 15 million units by October 2025.

Before that, the CR-V had already crossed the 10 million-unit milestone in 2018.

The model’s global reach is unusually broad for a compact SUV. Honda says the CR-V is sold in approximately 150 countries worldwide.

The timeline is also notable. Honda launched the first-generation CR-V in Japan in 1995, began U.S. sales in 1997, and celebrated the model’s 30th anniversary in 2025.

China has also been a meaningful CR-V market. Honda sold 213,306 CR-Vs in China in 2019 and 249,983 in 2020, showing the model’s ability to generate major volume outside North America.

Honda CR-V Canada statistics and market share signals

The CR-V is also a major force in Canada. Honda sold 55,987 CR-V units in Canada in 2025, up 1% from 55,363 in 2024.

That 2025 total was enough to rank the CR-V as Canada’s 5th best-selling vehicle overall. That is a standout result in a market where pickups and high-volume crossovers dominate the rankings.

Hybrid adoption is even stronger in Canada than in the U.S. Honda sold 35,325 CR-V hybrid units in Canada in 2025, and hybrids accounted for 63.1% of Canadian CR-V sales.

The CR-V Hybrid was Canada’s best-selling hybrid-powered vehicle in 2025. That makes the Canadian market one of the clearest examples of the model’s electrified momentum.

2023 52,146 Baseline
2024 55,363 Up vs.
2023
2025 55,987 +1% vs.
2024

Why it matters: Canada’s 63.1% CR-V hybrid share in 2025 was well above the U.S. hybrid mix figures cited for 2024 and 2023, suggesting especially strong appetite for electrified CR-V variants north of the border.

  • 55,987 total CR-V sales in Canada in 2025
  • 35,325 hybrid CR-V sales in Canada in 2025
  • 63.1% hybrid share in Canada in 2025
  • 5th best-selling vehicle overall in Canada in 2025
  • 280+ Honda dealerships operating across Canada
  • 400,000+ vehicles of annual manufacturing capacity at Honda of Canada Manufacturing, including the CR-V

Honda CR-V pricing and trim statistics

The 2025 Honda CR-V starts at $30,100 for the LX and climbs to $41,100 for the Sport Touring Hybrid.

The lineup spans an $11,000 price spread across six trims, giving buyers a broad range of entry points from mainstream gas models to top-end hybrid versions.

2025 CR-V pricing stat Figure
Starting MSRP, LX $30,100
Starting MSRP, Sport Touring Hybrid $41,100
Total price spread $11,000
Number of trims 6

The six trim levels are:

  • LX
  • EX
  • Sport Hybrid
  • EX-L
  • Sport-L Hybrid
  • Sport Touring Hybrid

The trim ladder also mirrors the model’s split identity: part value-focused family SUV, part efficiency-first hybrid nameplate.

Honda CR-V fuel economy and performance statistics

Fuel economy is one of the clearest statistical advantages in the CR-V range. The 2025 front-wheel-drive gas model is EPA-rated at 28 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined, while the all-wheel-drive gas model posts 26/31/28 mpg.

The hybrids move the numbers much higher. The front-wheel-drive hybrid is rated at 43 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 40 mpg combined, while the all-wheel-drive hybrid comes in at 40/34/37 mpg.

Powertrain City mpg Highway mpg Combined mpg
FWD gas 28 34 30
AWD gas 26 31 28
FWD hybrid 43 36 40
AWD hybrid 40 34 37

Power output differs by drivetrain. The gasoline CR-V’s turbocharged 1.5-liter engine produces 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque, while CR-V hybrid trims produce 204 hp.

Every trim uses a 14.0-gallon fuel tank. That gives the fuel economy stats more practical meaning, especially for road-trip and commuting buyers.

Independent testing adds a useful benchmark. Car and Driver recorded 31 mpg in its 75-mph highway fuel economy test for a 2025 CR-V EX-L AWD, and measured a 0-60 mph time of 8.1 seconds.

Fast facts

  • 190 hp gas engine output
  • 204 hp hybrid system output
  • 14.0 gallons fuel tank capacity
  • 8.1 seconds 0-60 mph for EX-L AWD in testing
  • 31 mpg observed highway test result for EX-L AWD

Size and utility remain a core part of the CR-V formula. The 2025 CR-V EX-L AWD rides on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, measures 184.8 inches long, offers 39 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats and 77 cubic feet behind the front seats, and has a curb weight of 3,614 pounds.

Honda CR-V safety, reliability, and benchmark statistics

The 2025 Honda CR-V earned an overall 5-star NHTSA safety rating. Its detailed scores included a 4-star frontal crash rating, 5-star side crash rating, and 4-star rollover resistance rating.

IIHS results were more mixed. The CR-V earned a Good rating in the small overlap front test, but a Poor rating in the updated moderate overlap front test for rear-seat protection.

It also received Acceptable ratings for front crash prevention vehicle-to-vehicle and pedestrian systems.

Safety benchmark Result
NHTSA overall rating 5 stars
NHTSA frontal crash 4 stars
NHTSA side crash 5 stars
NHTSA rollover 4 stars
IIHS small overlap front Good
IIHS updated moderate overlap front rear-seat protection Poor
IIHS front crash prevention Acceptable

On quality and ownership indicators, the CR-V also scores well. J.D.

Power gave the 2025 Honda CR-V an 84/100 for Quality and Reliability, an 86/100 for Resale value forecast, and an 83/100 overall consumer rating.

That 83/100 score placed the CR-V 3rd among J.D.

Power’s 2025 Best Compact SUVs.

Consumer Reports also rated the model favorably on reliability expectations. It states the 2025 CR-V is more reliable than other cars from the same model year, and predicts the 2026 CR-V will be more reliable than the average new car.

One cautionary stat: Consumer Reports data showed the 2025 Honda CR-V had 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file.

Honda CR-V depreciation and resale statistics

The CR-V’s resale performance is one of its strongest ownership numbers. According to iSeeCars, the Honda CR-V depreciates 28.9% after five years and retains an estimated resale value of $21,993.

That is far better than the compact SUV average. Compact SUVs lose an average of 39.9% of value after five years, which means the CR-V outperforms the segment by 11 percentage points on depreciation.

Shorter-term retention is strong too. After three years, the CR-V depreciates 13.3% with an estimated resale value of $26,800.

Resale metric CR-V Benchmark
3-year depreciation 13.3%
3-year estimated resale value $26,800
5-year depreciation 28.9% 39.9% compact SUV average
5-year estimated resale value $21,993

Used-market pricing supports the same pattern. A 1-year-old 2025 CR-V averages $32,125 as a used vehicle, while a 5-year-old 2021 CR-V averages $24,755.

Pull quote: The CR-V loses 28.9% of its value over five years versus 39.9% for the average compact SUV.

Honda CR-V theft statistics and risk data

The CR-V remains a commonly stolen vehicle in the U.S., especially older model years. The NICB reported 4,889 Honda CR-V thefts in the first half of 2025, ranking it the 9th most stolen vehicle during that period.

In full-year 2022, NICB reported 13,832 CR-V thefts, making it the 10th most stolen vehicle that year.

The most commonly stolen CR-V model year in 2022 was 2001.

The trend had already been elevated earlier in the decade. NICB reported 12,309 Honda CR-V thefts in 2020, a 21.9% increase from 2019.

Why this stands out: even as the latest CR-V posts record sales, the theft data shows the nameplate’s long-running popularity also has a downside, particularly for older units that remain highly prevalent on the road.
