Honda launches affordable 2026 CR‑V e:HEV X hybrid in Australia

Honda Motor Co. has expanded its CR‑V lineup with the 2026 CR‑V e:HEV X, the most affordable hybrid version of the model in Australia. Priced at $49,900 drive‑away, the X variant joins three other hybrid grades after the company removed several petrol‑only versions, leaving a six‑grade range of two petrol and four hybrid models. The new hybrid aims to boost sales that have risen only slightly, with 3,200 units sold so far in 2026, still trailing rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.

In Canada, a 2020 Honda CR‑V Sport AWD is listed for $27,995 plus taxes and licensing. The vehicle includes a suite of safety and convenience features such as lane‑departure warning, back‑up camera, heated seats, and a power liftgate, highlighting the model’s long‑standing appeal across North American markets.
