Honda CR-V Lease Deals

The Honda CR-V is a five-seat family SUV sold as a self-charging hybrid or a plug-in hybrid, in Elegance or Advance trim. This page explains what the car offers, how the powertrains differ and which trim suits which driver.

The Honda CR-V is a five-seat family SUV built around space, calm and ease of use rather than drama. At 4.71 metres long with a boot of 579 to 617 litres depending on version, it's a car for people who want one vehicle to cover the school run, the motorway slog and the occasional caravan.

It sits at the top of Honda's SUV line-up, above the smaller models, and every version is electrified in some way. Reviewers consistently describe it as spacious, comfortable and easy to live with, with proper physical climate controls rather than everything buried in a screen.

The choice is simple: one body style, two powertrains - Hybrid (self-charging) or Plug-in hybrid - and two trims, Elegance and Advance. Current deals sit below this copy.

About the Honda CR-V

The current CR-V is the sixth generation of a nameplate that helped invent the family crossover, and it has been on sale in this form since 2023. It's a five-seater only, so if you need seven, look elsewhere.

Road testers tend to praise the same things: a roomy, airy cabin, a smooth hybrid drivetrain and controls that don't need a tutorial. The common criticisms are motorway road noise and an infotainment screen that feels plain next to flashier rivals.

Honda covers it with a three-year, 90,000-mile warranty, and the drive battery gets five years or 90,000 miles, guaranteed to hold at least 70% of its capacity. Servicing falls due every 12 months or 12,500 miles.

Why lease a Honda CR-V?

Because the standard specification is unusually complete, which matters on a lease: you're choosing from a short list rather than building a car from options. Every CR-V gets adaptive cruise control, an opening panoramic roof, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and start and built-in navigation.

Driver assistance is standard across the range too - autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, traffic sign recognition and front and rear parking sensors. Euro NCAP awarded the CR-V four stars, with 85% for adult occupant protection and 86% for child occupant protection.

On practicality: 579 to 617 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, 1,634 to 1,710 litres folded, a hands-free tailgate, roof rails and an 83 kg roof load. Braked towing runs from 750 kg up to 1,500 kg depending on which powertrain you pick.

Which CR-V powertrain is right for me?

Both use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, both make 181 bhp and 335 Nm, and both are automatic. The real difference is whether you plug in, and whether you want all-wheel drive.

Hybrid (self-charging)

No cable, no charger, no planning. The 1.04 kWh battery tops itself up as you drive, returning 42.8 mpg on the WLTP test with CO2 of 151 g/km. It's the all-wheel-drive version, 0-62 mph takes 9.3 seconds, and braked towing is 750 kg. Insurance group 31.

Plug-in hybrid

This one needs charging to make sense. The 17.7 kWh battery charges at up to 7 kW, and the best version goes from 0-100% in about 2.5 hours at 6.8 kW, so an overnight home charge is straightforward. It's front-wheel drive, does 0-62 mph in 9.0 seconds, tows up to 1,500 kg braked and has the bigger 617-litre boot. Insurance group 33.

If you can't charge at home or work, take the self-charging Hybrid. Our electric and hybrid leasing guides go through that decision in more detail.

Which CR-V trim should I choose?

Two trims, and the gap between them is comfort and convenience kit rather than anything mechanical - both sit on 18-inch alloy wheels in the Berlina Black Paint finish, with leather upholstery.

Elegance

The entry trim, and far from sparse. LED headlights, wireless Apple CarPlay, the panoramic opening glass sunroof, a genuine leather steering wheel that's heated, plus a powered tailgate, rear-view camera, automatic high beam and air conditioning. A detachable towbar is available as a factory option.

The Elegance is currently available from £599.69 a month.

Advance

Advance adds the things you notice daily: ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a Bose premium sound system, the multi-view camera system in the door mirrors, a head-up display and an eight-way electrically adjustable driver's seat with mirror memory. The detachable towbar remains an option here too.

The Advance is currently available from £524.63 a month. Against the Elegance, that is currently £75.06/mo cheaper. Best value

Honda CR-V FAQs

For a family of up to five, yes. It has five seats, 579 to 617 litres of boot space depending on version, and a full set of driver aids as standard including autonomous emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring. Euro NCAP scored it 86% for child occupant protection. There's no seven-seat option.

The self-charging Hybrid doesn't. Its 1.04 kWh battery is replenished by the engine and by braking, so you just fill it with petrol. The Plug-in hybrid, with its 17.7 kWh battery, does need plugging in to give its best - roughly 2.5 hours at 6.8 kW on the best version.

It depends which version. Braked towing across the range runs from 750 kg to 1,500 kg, with the Plug-in hybrid rated at the full 1,500 kg and the self-charging Hybrid at 750 kg. Unbraked towing is 600 kg. A detachable towbar is available as a factory option on both trims, so specify it before the order goes in.

Three years or 90,000 miles from Honda, with a 12-year anti-corrosion guarantee and a three-year paintwork guarantee. The drive battery is covered for five years or 90,000 miles, guaranteeing at least 70% of its capacity. Services fall every 12 months or 12,500 miles.

The self-charging Hybrid is all-wheel drive. The Plug-in hybrid is front-wheel drive only. If grip on wet farm tracks or snowy hills matters to you, that single fact usually settles which powertrain you order.

That depends entirely on what's available at the time, because rentals change as pricing is refreshed and stock moves. The Elegance is currently from £599.69 a month. Check the live CR-V deals below, and our guide to choosing mileage, term and spec will help you narrow it down before you call.
