Standard Safety Features of the 2026 Honda CR-V
May 15 2025,
For 2026, the Honda CR-V continues its evolution with a strong emphasis on safety—an area where the Japanese automaker has long stood out. Designed and built in Canada, this compact SUV now comes equipped with a more advanced set of standard safety features, offering added peace of mind on Quebec’s diverse roads. It’s a smart, family-focused vehicle designed to meet the needs of today’s drivers.
A Full Suite of Driver-Assist Technologies
Every 2026 CR-V model—whether gas-powered or hybrid—comes standard with the Honda Sensing® safety suite. This comprehensive package includes several advanced features aimed at preventing collisions and supporting the driver in day-to-day conditions. Standard technologies include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Information System
Together, these features help boost driver awareness, especially in variable traffic conditions like those commonly experienced across Quebec.
A Body Structure Built for Protection
Beyond electronic systems, the CR-V is engineered with Honda’s latest Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to absorb and disperse impact energy more effectively. This architecture helps protect occupants in a variety of collision scenarios.
Further protection comes from ten standard airbags, including:
- Next-generation front airbags for the driver and front passenger, designed to reduce head rotation in angled impacts
- Rear side airbags for added protection in the back seats
- Knee airbags for both front occupants
Smart Safety Features for Everyday Use
The 2026 CR-V includes practical features that enhance daily safety. These include rear seatbelt reminders and a rear seat occupant alert system, which warns you if an object or person may have been left behind after exiting the vehicle. While simple, these additions contribute to everyday peace of mind—particularly for families.
Confidence in All Conditions
All-wheel-drive models—including the new TrailSport Hybrid—come with enhanced low-speed traction management. This system detects wheel slippage and automatically redistributes torque and applies braking where needed, helping the vehicle maintain grip on tricky surfaces like snow or mud—ideal for the unpredictable weather across much of Canada.
A Compact SUV That Prioritizes Protection
With the 2026 CR-V, Honda reaffirms its leadership in small SUV safety. Its comprehensive package of standard features—spanning both technology and structural design—meets the needs of safety-conscious drivers and families. Built in Canada and tailored for our roads, the CR-V remains a dependable and reassuring choice for today’s Quebec drivers.
