2025 Honda CR-V towing: gas and hybrid have different ratings.

The short answer

Can a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid tow as much as the gasoline CR-V?

Honda's US 2025 specification table lists a 1,500-pound towing capacity for gasoline LX, EX and EX-L, compared with 1,000 pounds for Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims. A rated maximum is not the weight of a fully loaded trailer combination.

Applicable to: US-market 2025 Honda CR-V gasoline versus two-motor hybrid trims. Manufacturer's listed towing capacity by trim, subject to the vehicle-specific instructions and equipment.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Confirm the exact 2025 US CR-V trim, drivetrain, tow equipment and vehicle-specific owner's manual before towing.

Check 2

A rated trailer limit is separate from vehicle payload, passengers, cargo, tongue weight, trailer brakes and applicable laws. Do not infer that 1,500 lb can be towed by every loading combination.

Check 3

Honda's gasoline and hybrid systems have different ratings. Do not transfer this table to the CR-V e:FCEV, other markets or another model year.
