American motorists have always dreamed about cross-country road trips. Taking a trek with friends or family has always been the stuff of legend, which is why it has been immortalized in such songs as “Route 66,” “On the Road Again,” and “Holiday Road.” However, not all vehicles are really made for touring. Some models give you the fuel economy you need to make the road trip affordable, but their lack of passenger space and amenities will leave everyone feeling cramped and unsatisfied. This will lead to your chosen soundtrack being drowned out by a chorus of another popular road chant, “Are we there yet?”
Then you have models that have the latest comfort and convenience features with plenty of room for everyone but guzzle gasoline like a thirsty fish. These may make your ride pleasant, but you will spend half the time looking for service stations and the remainder dreading the bills awaiting you when you return home. This is why you should consider the Sport Touring trim on a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid for sale. As the top trim, the Sport Touring gives you all the technological, safety, comfort, and convenience features to make your road trip enjoyable with the fuel economy you’d expect of a hybrid.
Fuel-Efficient AWD Performance
Like all trims of the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid, the Sport Touring comes with a 2.0-liter I-4 Atkinson-cycle gas engine and a pair of AC electric motors. While the conventional engine runs on gasoline, the AC motors reduce fuel consumption by drawing power from a 1.1-kWh lithium-ion battery pack located in the CR-V Hybrid’s lower frame. This location shields it from damage, makes it easy to service, and doesn’t infringe on passenger and cargo space.
The conventional gas engine has a dual overhead camshaft configuration with 16 valves for its four cylinders. It also uses multi-stage, high-pressure direct fuel injection. This two-motor hybrid system results in a combined output of 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. This gives the 2025 CR-V Hybrid a top speed of 111 mph and the ability to go from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.9 seconds. This acceleration will make it easy to merge onto busy highways, even during rush hour.
The Sport Touring is the only one of the three available trims of the CR-V Hybrid to come standard with Honda’s Real-Time AWD with Intelligent Control. This system engages all-wheel drive depending on driving conditions, giving you the traction you need in inclement weather. It delivers the right amount of torque to the CR-V Hybrid’s two axles. The result is a ride that emphasizes safety and handling. It also gives you solid fuel economy—37 MPG combined—which will be ideal to reduce fuel consumption on your next road trip.
A Surprisingly Spacious Cabin
The 2025 CR-V Hybrid is a compact SUV, but when you get inside the vehicle, you will think that this title doesn’t make much sense. The CR-V Hybrid has 103.5 cu.ft. of space inside its passenger compartment, which has been apportioned in such a way that all five passengers will have plenty of space to stretch out during your next road trip. Both rows have 38.2 inches of headroom, which helps make the interior feel larger. Meanwhile, the front-row passengers get 41.3 inches of legroom and 57.9 inches of shoulder room, while those in the back will enjoy 41 inches of legroom and 55.9 inches of shoulder space.
The Sport Touring’s interior is truly luxurious. The seats feature a leather fabric with tasteful orange stitching. These are as comfortable as they are elegant. The front seats are also heated, which will come in handy on cold mornings. The steering wheel on the 2025 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring is also heated. Both the steering wheel and shift knob come leather-wrapped, providing a better grip when driving, especially when you are covering long distances.
Honda has given the CR-V Hybrid plenty of trunk space as well. The rear liftgate opens up to 39.3 cu.ft. of space—plenty of room for everyone’s luggage. If you need more space, the rear seats can be easily folded down to provide up to 76.5 cu.ft. of room for cargo. The Sport Touring has a power tailgate with hands-free access. This will make loading and unloading your CR-V Hybrid easier, especially if you have your hands full with luggage or packages from your latest shopping trip.
The Advanced Honda Sensing Suite
As the top trim on the 2025 CR-V Hybrid, the Sport Touring has all of the features offered by Honda in its Honda Sensing suite of advanced active driver assistance features. This is a major reason why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has given the model a five-star overall safety rating for the 2025 model. This is the highest rating given out by the NHTSA based on its crash and safety testing of passenger vehicles.
One of the standard driver assistance technologies on the Honda CR-V Hybrid is a Blind Spot Information System. When you signal to change lanes, this tool will let you know if the lane is clear so you can avoid a collision. The vehicle also features Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. When the system is in use, it will adjust your CR-V Hybrid’s speed if it detects slower traffic. It can even stop and resume driving so you can reduce driver fatigue when you are in a traffic jam. This is why this model is perfect for taking long road trips.
The CR-V Hybrid Sports Touring also has front and rear parking sensors. These sensors provide guidance when parallel parking, letting you know if you are getting too close to the vehicles in the front or back of a parking spot. This feature comes standard on the Sports Touring and Sport-L.
Keeping Your Passengers Infotained
Nothing makes a road trip more fun than coming up with your own soundtrack. Whether you love rock, R&B, country, jazz, classical, or an eclectic mix, listening to music just adds something beautiful to a long drive. The Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring has an advanced infotainment system on a 9-inch color touchscreen.
Opting for the Sport Touring gives you a Bose Premium Sound System with 12 speakers, including a subwoofer, that have been strategically placed throughout the vehicle’s cabin. This will give you exceptional sound, no matter the music you and your passengers choose to listen to. You can connect your phone using wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can stream your favorite music, even if you left your charging cables at home. This also lets you make hands-free calls and texts. You also get a trial subscription to SiriusXM, delivering the best in commercial-free music, sports, news, and comedy.
Getting where you are going will also be easier in the Sport Touring trim of the CR-V Hybrid. The Sport Touring has a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System. Just like the Bose Premium Sound System, this is exclusive to the trim level. This gives you turn-by-turn directions with Voice Recognition, so you don’t have to take your hands off of the steering wheel in order to set your next destination.
It also has Honda HD Digital Traffic, giving you the quickest way to get wherever you are going in real time, helping you avoid traffic jams and other delays. Honda completes the technology package on the Sport Touring with a 15-watt wireless phone charger. There are also three USB-C charging ports inside the CR-V Hybrid; these will help you and your passengers keep your devices charged during your trips.
Set Your Next Destination With a Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring
Nothing can match the memories you will make on your next road trip; you will literally be making music wherever you go, especially if you choose to make your next ride a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. This model and trim will give you unmatched performance, fuel economy, comfort and convenience features, safety, and entertainment. The only hard parts will be deciding where to go and what to listen to on the way.
