2026 CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid
Quick Answer: 2026 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid
The Sport Touring Hybrid is the CR-V with everything: $42,550 MSRP plus $1,395 destination, AWD standard. Over the Sport-L it adds the 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, Google built-in (Assistant, Maps, and Play native on the 9-inch screen), the hands-free access power tailgate, a heated steering wheel, HondaLink connected services, 19-inch wheels, and, new for 2026, an Individual drive mode you can tune to taste. The hybrid drivetrain returns 40 city / 34 highway. For buyers who keep their cars the classic Honda decade, this is the load-it-once choice, and Honda of Staten Island stocks it at 250 Parkinson Avenue.
The flagship case, in a value brand
A $44,000 CR-V raises an eyebrow until you price the compact-luxury SUVs it quietly undercuts by ten grand while matching their equipment lists. The Sport Touring's argument is that everything you'd ever have added is already aboard: the sound system worth naming, navigation that doesn't depend on your phone, a tailgate that opens to a foot-swipe under the bumper when both arms are full of beach chairs, a wheel that warms your hands before the defroster has cleared the glass. Honda buyers tend to keep cars long enough for features to become habits, and this trim is built on that arithmetic, spec it fully once, amortize it over ten years.
The two features that separate it
The Bose system. Twelve speakers with Centerpoint surround processing, exclusive to this trim, and the difference is not subtle against the standard audio. If your commute includes the express bus lane's stop-start or the ferry parking crawl, an hour a day happens inside these speakers.
Google built-in. Every 2026 CR-V mirrors your phone wirelessly; only the Sport Touring runs Google natively, Assistant for voice control, Maps on the main screen with traffic that reroutes you off a jammed Expressway before the signs admit it, and apps from Google Play, phone in your pocket or not. Paired with standard HondaLink remote services (lock, locate, pre-warm from your kitchen in January), it's the most connected cabin Honda sells at any price.
New for 2026, the Individual drive mode lets you mix your own recipe, sharp throttle with light steering, or the reverse, alongside the usual modes. Small thing, very daily.
What flagship buyers here experience
At this price point the transaction matters as much as the car, and the store's reviews speak to it. One customer wrote of his lease: "He spoke to me prior to signing and he went over every detail, cost and fees. There were no surprises when I had to write my check." Another, a six-time repeat leaseholder, praised managers who "always take care of any concerns I may have regarding my lease." Honda of Staten Island has sold this nameplate to this borough for over 40 years; flagship customers are usually its repeat customers.
Frequently asked questions
What comes standard on the Sport Touring Hybrid?
Everything the Sport-L carries, leather, power tailgate hardware, digital cluster, memory seats, plus the Bose 12-speaker system, Google built-in, hands-free tailgate operation, heated steering wheel, HondaLink subscription services, 19-inch wheels, Individual drive mode, and standard AWD.
How much is the 2026 Sport Touring Hybrid?
$42,550 MSRP plus $1,395 destination, AWD included, before New York's 8.875% sales tax, title, and registration. The pricing & leasing guide covers the stack; the specials page has the month's current programs.
Is the Sport Touring worth it over the Sport-L?
The $3,825 gap (against a front-drive Sport-L; $2,325 against an AWD one) buys the Bose system, Google built-in, hands-free tailgate, heated wheel, and connected services. Audiophiles and long-haul commuters say yes without blinking; buyers who stream through CarPlay and open tailgates by hand keep the difference.
What's the fuel economy?
40 city / 34 highway / 37 combined, the standard AWD hybrid rating. That's flagship equipment with better city mileage than any base-engine compact SUV in the class.
Does it still get wireless CarPlay if it has Google built-in?
Yes, both. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every 2026 CR-V; the Sport Touring simply adds the native Google layer underneath, so iPhone households lose nothing.
Where can I drive one on Staten Island?
Live Sport Touring stock is posted here; the showroom at 250 Parkinson Avenue is open seven days, with Sunday hours from 11 to 4. Bring your favorite test track, the Bose demo works best on your own playlist.
The bottom line
The Sport Touring Hybrid is what happens when a value brand builds its no-compromise version: every comfort, every connection, the lineup's smoothest drivetrain, and a sticker that still undercuts the luxury badges it borrows features from. For the decade-keeper who wants to configure a car exactly once, the top of the CR-V range is the easy math.
