2026 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview
The Honda CR-V Fuel Cell is not for everyone. For starters, it's only offered in California—and in limited quantities. But hydrogen filling stations are hard to find even in California, so you'll want to live near one to get the most out of this alternative powertrain. Honda recognizes the challenge of finding hydrogen fuel, though, and has equipped the e:FCEV with a plug and a battery that can take it an extra 29 miles once its hydrogen tanks run dry. That's additional peace of mind that its fuel-cell rivals, the Toyota Mirai sedan and Hyundai Nexo crossover, don't offer. Range restrictions aside, this CR-V acts pretty similar to any other.
What's New for 2026?
The CR-V e:FCEV was a new addition for 2025, and no big changes are expected in its second model year.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2026 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell is expected to start around $52,000.
Touring
$52,000 (est) 0 $10k $20k $30k $40k $50k $60k $70k $80k
The base price of the CR-V e:FCEV is on the high side, but it's only offered in fancy Touring trim. That means plenty of desirable features are standard, including a digital gauge display, a heated steering wheel, and leather upholstery. Only two colors are offered: white and gray.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance
Honda's hydrogen fuel cell powertrain consists of a single motor that makes 174 horsepower and drives the front wheels. Two hydrogen tanks are mounted underneath and behind the rear seat; the fuel cell system and drive unit are mounted under the hood. If the tanks should run out before you can make it to the hydrogen refueling station, a 17.7-kWh battery pack is on board for some reserve driving range. Honda claims the system is twice as durable, starts up much faster in cold weather, and costs two-thirds less to build than Honda's previous setup. We had a chance to take a CR-V Fuel Cell for a brief test drive and found it drives much like the standard CR-V and the steering feel was actually improved over the hybrid variant. The interior remains calm and quiet during cruising, too.
0–60-MPH Times
The CR-V e:FCEV is noticeably pokier than the CR-V Hybrid, and we estimate that it will need 8.6 seconds to reach 60 mph. When we get a chance, we'll take the CR-V Fuel Cell to our test track and update this story with acceleration results.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The CR-V Fuel Cell's hydrogen system is good for an estimated 241 miles of driving range and the onboard 17.7-kWh battery pack is good for an additional 29 miles, per the EPA. Refueling the hydrogen tanks takes mere minutes, but recharging the battery pack for that extra reserve range will take two hours on a 240-volt connection. Luckily, you can tell the powertrain to charge the battery using power from the fuel cell while driving should you need to juice the battery on the go.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 CR-V Fuel Cell yet, but the 2025 model earned ratings of 52 MPGe city and 57 MPGe highway. For more information about the CR-V Fuel Cell's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The CR-V Fuel Cell's handsome interior design is highlighted by a honeycomb-textured insert spanning most of the dash, discreetly hiding the air vents. The steering wheel frames a digital gauge cluster. The front seats are comfortable for long drives and the straightforward driving position should accommodate a wide range of body sizes. Between the front-seat passengers is a large center console bin, and behind them are reclining rear seats with plenty of legroom. The main differences you'll find inside the cabin when comparing the CR-V Fuel Cell to the standard CR-V are the push-button shifter and the smaller cargo capacity due to the hydrogen tanks mounted in the rear.

Infotainment and Connectivity
A 9.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard on the CR-V e:FCEV and it runs Honda's latest infotainment interface which is simple and easy to use. It doesn't include a tuning knob, but there is a volume knob that accompanies the built-in navigation, plus two USB-C ports for rear-seat passengers and wireless smartphone charging.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Honda equips every CR-V with a boatload of standard driver-assistance technology. Along with standard blind-spot monitoring, the compact SUV also comes with a driver-attention monitor, traffic-sign recognition, and a back-seat reminder. For more information about the CR-V's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:
Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
Standard lane-keeping assist and lane-departure warning
Standard adaptive cruise control
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
The CR-V Fuel Cell comes with the same warranty that is standard on all other new Honda models and a similar one to other electric SUVs from mainstream automakers. Honda's usual coverage package also includes one year of complimentary scheduled maintenance as a bonus.
Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
Electric components are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles
Complimentary maintenance is covered for one year or 12,000 miles

What A 250 Million-Acre Public Land Sale Could Mean For The Off-Road Industry
Ford Performance at the 2025 King of the Hammers in Southern California's Johnson Valley. Since President Trump took office in January, the threats to anything considered public—from a large slice of our nation's workforce to the media—have been unrelenting. Earlier this month, these threats took on a new form: potentially robbing the American people of millions of acres of public land. Unveiled on June 11th and revised on the 14th, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee's budget reconciliation bill outlines over 250 million acres, to be slightly more exact, that could be offered up for sale to private business. As reported on by Jonathon Klein of Ride Apart, this could have a tremendous negative impact on not just our natural resources, but every corner of the outdoor industry as well. For those amongst us who enjoy off-road driving (or hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, cycling, climbing, etc.), the possibility of being cut-off from lands where we savor such activity is very real. Klein points out one particular swath of land in Southern California, Johnson Valley—home to one of the world's top off-road racing events, King of the Hammers—is on the chopping block, which would not only be detrimental to this event, but every single industry that's involved in it. Automakers, the aftermarket performance and racing industries, tourism, general outdoor equipment industries; the list goes on. Take that same scenario and multiply it by every other parcel of land that any other outdoor enthusiast could lose access to, and the damage would be extensive. For a good overall picture of what's on the chopping block, The Wilderness Society has created a handy map. Competitors at the 2020 King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, California. But why is all of this land potentially for sale? As stated in the bill itself, as much as $15 billion in revenue could come from expanded oil, gas, coal, and geothermal leasing. Other aims include increased housing production, domestic energy security and timber production, as well as, in the bill's summarized words, 'ensuring states and counties benefit from energy projects on federal lands.' The Wilderness Society has also outlined a handful of counter arguments. In its words, 'research suggests that very little of the land managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and USFS (US Forest Service) is actually suitable for housing.' It also explains that the federal government can revoke national monument status and that certain changes would negatively impact sovereign Tribal Nations. We can't forget the fact that increased energy production carries its own environmental hazards, too. It's all bad and very unnecessary. One thing that truly makes America great is its beautiful natural land that's here for all of us to savor, and this bill could cut off a very significant portion of it. And again, there's the immense adverse effect on every single outdoor industry, especially off-road driving and racing, and the massive amount of American companies that feed it. Contact your US senator and let them know how you feel. Especially if you live in Utah, which is Senator Mike Lee's turf. He's Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the creator of this bill—ironically, as many as 18 million acres of his state's land could potentially be up for sale. That's a lot of territory for off-road driving, hunting, shooting, fishing, climbing, camping, hiking, mountain biking, and so on.

Why Digital Turbine Stock Skyrocketed This Week
Digital Turbine stock rocketed higher after the company posted stronger-than-anticipated quarterly results on Tuesday. The company also issued guidance for its new fiscal year that topped Wall Street's targets. Digital Turbine's cost-cutting moves and increased focus on AI appear to have the business moving in the right direction. 10 stocks we like better than Digital Turbine › Digital Turbine (NASDAQ: APPS) stock saw explosive gains after reporting quarterly results earlier this week. The company's share price closed out the week up 23.1% from the previous week's market close. Before the market opened on Tuesday, Digital Turbine published its results for the fourth quarter of its last fiscal year, which wrapped up on March 31. While the stock saw significant pullbacks later in the week, it still ended the stretch with big gains. Digital Turbine's fiscal Q4 report arrived with sales and earnings that came in ahead of Wall Street's expectations. The business posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share of $0.10 on sales of $119.15 million, beating the average analyst estimate's call for adjusted per-share earnings of $0.04 on revenue of $116.64 million. While its adjusted per-share profit was down roughly 16.7% year over year, sales were up by around 6.2%. Investors were happy to see stronger-than-anticipated sales and earnings performance in the period. In addition to reporting Q4 results that beat Wall Street's targets, the adtech specialist also issued forward guidance that came in better than anticipated. With guidance for sales between $515 million and $525 million this year, Digital Turbine's midpoint target calls for annual revenue growth of roughly 6%. Meanwhile, the company is targeting adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of between $85 million and $90 million. Hitting the midpoint of that guidance range would mean posting annual growth of 21%. Digital Turbine's business appears to be stabilizing, and its efforts to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) tools into its services for app promotions appear to be yielding beneficial results. The company's heavy exposure to the Chinese market poses a significant risk factor if geopolitical tensions with the U.S. continue to rise, but the company's cost-cutting moves and strategic shifts have been bearing fruit.
