The numbers

Its headline EPA figure is 40 MPG combined. That rating blends the 43 MPG city figure with 36 MPG on the highway.

The city number is higher than the highway number, so driving mix matters. The vehicle is rated at 223 grams of tailpipe CO2 per mile.

What it costs to run

The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $1,700. This CR-V uses gasoline, so fuel spending follows how much and where you drive.

How it compares

Use the hybrid MPG chart to place its 40 MPG combined rating beside other hybrid cars. Its 43 city and 36 highway figures show where its efficiency is strongest.

Who it suits

This CR-V suits a buyer who wants a midsize wagon, front-wheel drive, and hybrid fuel economy in one vehicle. It makes the most sense for drivers whose routes include enough city driving to benefit from its 43 MPG city rating.

Trade-offs

The gasoline hybrid setup delivers 40 MPG combined, but it does not eliminate fuel use. Highway economy is 36 MPG, seven MPG below the city rating.

Front-wheel drive keeps the drivetrain simple, while the 223-gram-per-mile tailpipe CO2 figure puts a measurable emissions number on each mile.

Verdict

Choose the 2027 Honda CR-V FWD when a midsize wagon and front-wheel drive fit your plans, and a 40 MPG combined rating is the main target. Its city estimate leads its highway result, which favors mixed or urban routes over long highway stretches. The $1,700 annual fuel estimate gives the running-cost picture in one figure. Buyers who need a different drivetrain or want to avoid gasoline will need to look elsewhere.
