Honda CR-V TrailSport: From Dream to Reality

I hope I’m not surprising you by saying that SUVs with enhanced off-road capabilities are all the rage right now. The Honda CR-V will soon join this niche, as the Japanese automaker has announced the arrival of a TrailSport version for 2026.

The Pilot was the first Honda model to receive a TrailSport version, and its popularity prompted the automaker to quickly offer similar variants for the Passport and Ridgeline. So, it’s no surprise that the TrailSport badge has finally made its way to the CR-V.

High Expectations!

I’d love to share more details about the model, such as its price or the specific enhancements it will feature, but none of that has been revealed yet. Honda has merely announced the addition of a TrailSport version without providing further details. For now, all we can do is speculate.

In my opinion, we can expect slightly raised suspension, off-road-specific tires, and perhaps underbody skid plates. It would also be almost sacrilegious for Honda not to offer the iconic light blue color found on TrailSport versions of other models for the CR-V TrailSport.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the TrailSport version won’t be the only update to the CR-V lineup for 2026. This addition coincides with a broader refresh of the model, as the current generation debuted in 2023.

The Honda CR-V is by far the most popular vehicle in Honda’s lineup, and its popularity is likely to grow even more with the addition of a TrailSport version. While I don’t have a crystal ball, I can already tell you that this new CR-V variant is bound to make waves when it hits the market.
