Interior
Many intricate details distinguish the Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport-L as an exciting option from this brand’s lineup of compact SUVs, but they make up a complete package when you consider them all together. For example, all windows feature auto up and down power functionality, and there’s an automatic-dimming rearview mirror that’ll help prevent you from being blinded at night by headlights of the vehicles behind you. Each of the seats inside the cabin has leather material that makes them exceptionally comfortable to sit in for extended periods, and your 10-way power-adjustable driver’s chair with 2-way power lumbar support will also include two-position memory as an added convenience. It should also be noted that even your copilot will be accounted for with a 4-way power-adjustable front passenger’s chair.
Safety
While unlikely, it’s possible that you could grow momentarily distracted during your drive to Bird Park and not notice your vehicle gradually drifting off course. Thankfully, the Lane Departure Warning1 will provide you with an alert should this happen, that way you can quickly correct your steering. And to help prevent you from losing your focus on the road in the first place, there’s a Driver Attention Monitor feature that’s designed to pick up on drowsiness and similar signs of inattentive driving in order to warn you that it may be time to take a break. Upon reaching your destination in Kankakee, you can expect to have an easy time navigating a crowded parking spot due to the Low-Speed Braking Control2 that’ll automatically slow the vehicle down when obstacles are detected ahead of you or behind you. The Front and Rear Parking Sensors will serve a similar function so well, so you don’t have to stress out when searching for a suitable place to park your 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport-L.
Engineering
Being a hybrid model, this SUV pairs gas-powered and electric performance to generate its impressive capabilities on the road. It’s able to achieve 204 total system horsepower with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and high-torque traction motor. In addition to that, there’s a lithium-ion battery and Eco Assist™ system, the latter of which will have a direct impact on this vehicle’s efficiency. And if you’re curious, then you’ll be happy to know that a 43//36/40 MPG city/hwy/combined3 fuel economy is what you’ll get with this car if you choose to bring it home. With its Real Time AWD system, you’ll be able to tackle off-road travels with just as much confidence as you do the paved roads of Route 113, so stop by our dealership during business hours to see it in person!

“ I had gotten a quote from another dealer for a CR-V for my daughter and was planning to close on the deal the next week and the dealership was a few blocks from my home. I had to go to Bourbonnais on business and decided to stop at Bill Kay's just to check. I met Karen Flinn and I was impressed with her knowledge and the way she treated me. There was no pressure to buy and the entire staff were friendly and professional. The quote was fantastic that Karen offered and I didn't feel I had to look any further. I live 35 miles away but it was worth the ride. I recommend this dealership and look for Karen Flinn, she is the best. ”
