2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Lease Deal Shines In April-Beats RAV4 On Price
The new Toyota RAV4 may be getting a lot of attention, but the Honda CR-V is still one of the best compact crossovers you can buy. It has a very spacious cabin, feels quite premium, and has an agreeable ride/handling balance. In hybrid form, the CR-V is more responsive and efficient, which is why over half of all buyers chose the hybrid so far in 2026. Honda is currently running a lease deal on the CR-V Sport Hybrid this April, so if you want a painless way to get behind the wheel of this SUV, here's a look at what it'll cost you.

Comparison to RAV4 Lease
Assuming you qualify for the CR-V Hybrid's loyalty or conquest award, its lease cost is a little lower than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid's this month. Here's how they match up:
Honda CR-V Hybrid | Toyota RAV4 Hybrid | |
Lease cost per month | $279 | $299 |
Dua at signing | $4,199 | $3,999 |
Lease term | 36 months | 36 months |
Although the Honda has a higher initial payment, it's still cheaper over the 36-month period, due to lower monthly costs. These leases apply to the base trims of both crossovers, which direct power to the front wheels.
The Toyota is a bit more powerful and efficient, with 226 horsepower and up to 43 mpg combined. The Honda isn't too far behind, making 204 hp and with gas mileage of 40 mpg combined.
Being the newer vehicle, the RAV4 has a larger touchscreen and standard digital instrument cluster. The Honda has more amenities, though, including a power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, a wireless phone charger, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel-none of these are standard on the RAV4 LE.

Final Thoughts
With demand for the new RAV4 high, Toyota's lease deals for this popular crossover are still limited. The Honda has been around for a little longer, so you can lease a better-specified model for less than the RAV4 right now. The CR-V is slightly better to drive than its rival and feels more premium when the base hybrid trims are compared. All things considered, the CR-V is a top lease deal this April.
