Test Drive Checklist: Four Sensations to Notice in the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid

You've done your research. You know that the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid offers 204 horsepower (and $247 \text{ lb-ft}$ of torque), Real Time AWD™ all-wheel drive, and an urban fuel consumption of $6.0 \text{ L/100 km}$. But the numbers on paper don't tell the whole story.

Here are four specific sensations to notice and experience during your CR-V Hybrid test drive at Lallier Honda Montreal. The experience will transform your research into a purchase decision.

Sensation 1: Instant Torque from the Hybrid Engine at Startup

• Where to feel it: At traffic lights on Sainte-Catherine Street or Saint-Laurent Boulevard.

When the light turns green, firmly press the accelerator. The CR-V Hybrid leaps forward. There's no gradual build-up in revs. Just an immediate, linear push.

This is the $247 \text{ pound-feet}$ of torque. The electric motors deliver their maximum power instantly. It's a unique sensation that you must experience to understand.

Sensation 2: Seamless Integration of Integrated Google Services

• Where to feel it: In the dealership parking lot, even before you leave.

Sit in the driver's seat. Simply say, "Hey Google, navigate to the Old Port of Montreal." Google Maps instantly activates. No phone to connect. It's fluid, natural, and intuitive.

On the road, it is incredible to realize how much a simple voice command keeps you focused on the road.

Sensation 3: The Confidence of Real Time AWD in Corners

• Where to feel it: In the curves of Mount Royal or by simulating slippery road conditions.

Find a road with curves. The CR-V stays planted. The system automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels to maximize grip. You feel the vehicle precisely follow your driving line.

Sensation 4: The Smoothness of the Ride

• Where to feel it: Everywhere, but particularly where the roads are degraded.

Notice how exceptional the ride smoothness of the Honda CR-V Hybrid is. On a nice surface, you'll feel like you're driving on an air carpet. On degraded roads, you will understand how much the suspension components work to give you the impression that the surface is smooth. It’s truly impressive and gives an idea of the quality of this model.
