2025 Honda CR-V MPG: drivetrain matters.

The short answer

How much does AWD affect fuel economy on a 2025 Honda CR-V?

The 2025 US CR-V is rated at 30 mpg combined for gasoline FWD, 28 for gasoline AWD, 40 for hybrid FWD, and 37 for hybrid AWD. Honda lists a 14.0 US-gallon tank across the published trim table.

Applicable to: US-market 2025 CR-V: gasoline CVT versus two-motor hybrid, FWD versus AWD, EPA city/highway/combined; not a claim about another year or market.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Match the actual fuel system and drivetrain: 2WD and AWD ratings differ, and hybrid ratings do not describe gasoline-only trims.

Check 2

The 14.0 US-gallon tank listed by Honda is nominal; multiplying it by an EPA mpg rating does not guarantee driving range.

Check 3

Do not transfer US EPA mpg to WLTP, JC08 or other regional cycles, which use different test conditions.

Where the numbers came from

Honda's 2025 CR-V US technical specifications table lists the four distinct powertrain/drivetrain EPA rating combinations and the common 14.0 US-gallon nominal tank.
