Curb weights sourced from the NHTSA Canadian Vehicle Specifications database and recorded per body style, with fluids and a full fuel tank but no occupants or cargo.

Front and rear axle loads

At 58/42, the 3,525 lbs puts about 2,045 lbs on the front axle and 1,480 lbs on the rear — 565 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 63.4 in of track at the front against 64.2 in at the rear, 0.8 in narrower in front.

Against the rest of the small sport utility vehicle 4wd class

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the CR-V is 24 of 98 in Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, 423 lbs below the 3,948 lbs median and lighter than 74 of its peers.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 3,375 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 3,525 lbs — 150 lbs heavier (4.4%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 3,635 lbs against 3,497 lbs in 2015, a 138 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

What four-wheel drive costs in weight

Every body style recorded in both drive layouts gains exactly 110 lbs moving from two-wheel to four-wheel drive — about 3.1% of the two-wheel-drive figure.

Curb weight already includes a full tank

The published 14-gallon tank holds about 85 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the 4dr SUV AWD is effectively a 3,550 lbs vehicle — 2.3% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

What is not in the record

EPA files 6 separate 2026 entries for the model, spanning 29–40 mpg combined, covering 5 engine and drive combinations (efcv FWD; 1.5L 4-cyl AWD; 1.5L 4-cyl FWD; 2.0L 4-cyl hybrid AWD; and others) plus their transmission choices, while NHTSA weighs only 2 configurations. Engine and gearbox choice is therefore not reflected in the figure above.

What the weight leaves for towing

With a With hitch configuration, the 2026 CR-V is rated to pull 1,500 lbs — 0.4 times the 3,635 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 0.4 times the 3,525 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the With hitch build, not to every truck on this page: a 4dr SUV AWD starts 110 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 4dr SUV FWD before a trailer is coupled.

Questions these figures answer

How much does a 2026 Honda CR-V weigh?

Between 3,525 lbs (4dr SUV FWD) and 3,635 lbs (4dr SUV AWD), depending on the configuration.

Does the CR-V's curb weight count against its tow rating?

Yes. The 1,500 lbs maximum applies to the With hitch configuration, and the truck's own 3,525 lbs–3,635 lbs is already inside the combined weight the rating assumes. Heavier cab and drivetrain choices eat into what is left.

How much more does a 4x4 CR-V weigh?

110 lbs more than the same body style in two-wheel drive.
