28 mpg. It has never gone above 28. Its a 2025 Sport L, 14k miles on it and it has been like this since I bought it last year brand new. I rarely drive on highways. I mostly just drive around the neighborhood doing school runs for my kids. Lots of stop and start traffic, speed limit is between 15-25 mph. Lots of red lights. It's grandma driving conditions, no offense to grandmas, I'm a grandma myself. There is no weight in the trunk. Myself and 2 kids are the only occupants. I have it set on normal mode. I have never driven in eco or sport. What the heck is my car's problem? This has me wanting to trade it in for a Toyota or Mazda.

I have a 2026 crv hybrid awd and roughly have 2500 miles on the car maybe less than that and I’m averaging around 29mpg which is 10 more coming from a Honda hrv but I wanna be in the 30-35 mpg range idk it will start to get better the more miles I put on the car. I drive on eco mode and stopped with the heavy foot since having this car because I do want to maximize the ev system and keep the engine off as much as possible.

Hey Folks, my CarPlay was working well. Then I don’t know what happened, now I see CarPlay connected to my 2026 CRV but wouldn’t play any music. Even when I get a call from someone, they can hear me whereas I can’t hear them. I tried all the usual steps such as disconnecting the Bluetooth, forget the device, reconnect etc, and nothing solved. One more thing adding to this confusion is, when I connect my phone using Bluetooth (not CarPlay), I can hear the music. Any ideas on how to solve this?

My wife ran over some bricks in the parking lot. She told me to take a look at the car when I got home and I don't see any damage, but it looks like either a cover plate/piece is missing or at least what the other under panels connect to is missing. I don't know what order the photos will upload, but one of them shows exposed parts of the car and the other one shows what looks like a missing plastic bolt that even if there was one, would not screw into anything. Am I just imagining things?

Hmmmm, how do I add photos?

I’ve been calculating the actual miles per gallon versus what the dashboard tells me. And the dashboard always says I’m getting much better mpg than in real actual calculations.

Examples from the last few gas tank fill ups:

Actual mpg: 36.7 (Dashboard mpg: 37.8)

Actual 35.5 (Dash 36.6)

Actual 35.1 (Dash 35.9)

Actual 33.1 (Dash 34.5)

Actual 35.1 (Dash 37.0)

Is this something I should address at the dealership, and get serviced? Or is Honda allowed to give inaccurate readings?

For two days my display shows the wrong song on Spotify. It will be playing the right song through the CarPlay and my iPhone but the display shows the wrong one, like a lag. I redownloaded Spotify and disconnected CarPlay but it didn’t help. Any suggestions? This car has only 933 miles on it and it’s a 2026. Thanks!

I'm considering both vehicles, probably a 2025 model. Please share your real world likes and dislikes for either car. I'm cross posting in both communities.

We’ve only had our 2026 Sport L for a few months. I have a question for you seasoned owners.
When we first picked this car, after the salesman went through the display that little car was always on between the two gauges. I know it’s lane control information among other things and I’ve found that safety menu to decide which features I want to use but for some reason now every time we start the car that little car isn’t there and I like having it there. I can turn it on with the button on the right side of the steering wheel but I thought the salesman told me that button selected between two different modes of lane controls.
So is there a setting somewhere else that tells the little car to always be there?
My owners manual shows a different instrument display than what we have and Google comes up with all kinds of conflicting information.

Would I be qualified for Honda financing as first time buyer? I’m planning on getting 2026 CRV sport. I’m in talks with one dealer over phone and it is very nerve wracking.

I’m having an annoying issue with my 2026 Honda CR‑V hybrid and the built‑in music apps (Spotify and Amazon Music). Whenever I’m driving and open either app, the music plays normally. Before I turn off the car, I always physically pause the song in app as there is no way to close the app. The problem is, the next time I get into the car and start the engine, the CR‑V automatically launches the last music app and starts playing again on its own. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to fully stop/close the app so it doesn’t auto‑resume every time the car starts. Basically, I want the car to wait for me to choose whether I want music or not, instead of auto‑playing by default. Has anyone found a setting in the infotainment system, phone Bluetooth settings, or app settings that prevents this auto‑play behavior? Any tips would be appreciated.

Got hot in the Northeast and I turned on my ac for the first time. There’s a whistling sound coming from the vents. It’s not there at low, loudest at medium, lower at high. Anyone know what it could be?

It’s within warranty still, so I can absolutely take to dealership, but want to know what it could be before I go in case it’s a simple fix and I can skip a trip. Thank you.
2026 sport L

I am planning to take a road trip next weekend from Chicago to Rushmore. Will be driving around 2000 miles back and forth. My maintenance reminder is showing B6 with 40% oil life. Current miles driven 9900. First service done around 7000 back in November. Should i take it for service or i can come back then go for service.

We just bought a 2026 crv hybrid at the end of March and this morning we woke up to a cracked windshield. Is this common? I’ve seen a few other posts about people having the same issue. Is this something I can get covered under warranty?

The 2026 was announced last April and nothing has come out at all, is this normal to go over a year with no next model announcement considering the model was already refreshed?

We recently bought a 2026 CRV Sport Touring and one of the things we absolutely do not like (coming from a 2017 HRV) is that the right mirror (passenger mirror) does not have a camera. We are used to, whenever we are going to turn right, see that camera in the screen which is a lot better than looking at that tiny mirror in the far right.

Does anybody know if there's a passenger mirror we can buy with this feature? Having a camera that can be hooked up to the infotainment system and turns on whenever the right light is engaged?

Also, kind of surprised that the 2017 HRV had this feature while the top of the line 2026 CRV does not!

Anyone here noticing a fuel thumping or sloshing sound in their Honda CR‑V Hybrid when reversing or braking while half tank?
