For 2026, Honda sticks to the tried-and-true recipe: five seats, plenty of cargo room, and a 190-horsepower turbo four-cylinder under the hood for the gas models.If you're not ready to put a ring on a new CR-V, leasing is your way in. Right now, Honda's website is dangling an August offer for the 2026 CR-V 2WD LX: $289 per month for 36 months, with $4,199 due up front. Mark your calendar, though – the deal disappears after September 8, 2026.HondaHonda's Lease Deals for AugustAt the moment, the lease deals are only for the 2WD LX trim. The numbers? Honda's math starts with a sticker price of $32,370 (destination included), but the lease is calculated off a net cap cost of $26,935.06.TrimMonthly PaymentLease TermDue at SigningAnnual Mileage2026 CR-V 2WD LX$28936 months$4,19910,000 milesYou'll need to be a qualified customer in the right state to snag this deal through Honda Financial Services. Taxes, fees, and all the usual extras aren't included, and your local dealer might nudge the numbers up or down. At least there's no security deposit to worry about.AdvertisementAdvertisementYou get 10,000 miles a year to play with, and if you go over, it's 20 cents for every extra mile. When the lease is up, you can buy the CR-V for $20,716.80 if you've grown attached.Honda2026 Honda CR-V HighlightsIf you're shopping the gas-powered CR-V, the LX starts at $32,370 and the EX-L tops out at $36,850. All three trims – LX, EX, and EX-L – share the same 190-horsepower turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder and a CVT. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but you can opt for all-wheel drive if you want a little extra grip.Honda has sprinkled in some tech upgrades for 2026. Every CR-V now gets a 9-inch touchscreen in the center, finally ditching the old 7-inch unit. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless phone charging are all standard now. If you spring for the EX-L, you also get a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster.Practicality is still the CR-V's strong suit. You get 39 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, and the back seats have enough legroom for actual adults. Fuel economy is solid, too: 28 mpg city and 33 mpg highway for front-wheel drive, or 27/31 mpg if you go all-wheel drive.HondaFinal ThoughtsThe CR-V has never tried to be the flashiest or fanciest SUV on the block. Instead, it wins people over with smart interior space, easygoing road manners, simple tech, and that classic Honda reliability. If you're cross-shopping the Mazda CX-50, Ford Bronco Sport, VW Tiguan, or Toyota RAV4, the CR-V is still a no-nonsense pick.AdvertisementAdvertisementIf you're not looking to commit to an SUV for the long haul, leasing a CR-V could be a smart move. The $289 monthly payment is easy enough to swallow, but don't forget about the $4,199 due at signing—always check the total cost, not just the monthly number.HondaDisclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
