• Enhanced Traction Management: All 2026 CR-V AWD models, including the TrailSport Hybrid, gain an improved traction control system that works at low speeds (below 9 mph) to better manage wheel slip and transfer power to wheels with grip, enhancing off-road performance.
• Trail-Ready Interior: Inside, the TrailSport features cloth seats with embroidered TrailSport logos on the headrests, matching all-weather floor mats, and amber ambient lighting in the cabin. It also includes a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a sunroof.
