Orders for Honda’s flagship SUV have stopped just two months after its release…
More than two months have passed since it was announced and released at the end of February 2026, and the new CR-V e:HEV RS is a fully remodeled version of Honda’s familiar D-segment SUV.
Deliveries to users have already begun from March to May 2026, and we are gradually starting to see them being driven around town.
The CR-V has just been released, but orders have already been stopped “only about two months after its release.”
In addition, a trademark has been filed for Mazda’s new SUV model, so let’s check that out as well.
I never expected that I would be able to confirm that “orders have been stopped” through the official website…
This is the dedicated page for the new CR-V published on Honda’s official website as of Sunday, May 3, 2026.
As shown in the red square in the image above,“Some types and colors may not be available. Please contact the sales company for details.”This means that orders for some grades have already been discontinued.
By the way, according to information from the Honda dealer that I always use, the e:HEV RS is currently not accepting orders.[2WD]Only, other e:HEV RS[4WD]Ya, e:HEV RS BLACK EDITION[4WD]They said they are still accepting orders.
Although it is unclear why orders for only the entry-grade 2WD have been suspended, Honda’s popular grade is the e:HEV RS BLACK EDITION.[4WD]and R.S.[4WD]Because of that, perhaps the number of 2WD models produced is limited for some reason? It may be possible that they are doing so (production of the WR-V’s X grade was also severely restricted).
Delivery time for CR-V e:HEV RS as of the end of April 2026 is “about 3 months”
By the way, when I checked the latest CR-V delivery information as of the end of April 2026 (before Golden Week) at a Honda dealer, I found that the best-selling e:HEV RS BLACK EDITION[4WD]”End of July 2026 (about 2 to 3 months)”, e:HEV RS[4WD]”After August 2026 (more than 3 months)”, e:HEV RS[2WD]Due to the suspension of orders, the delivery date is unknown.
Do you have that many backorders? That’s not to say that the original monthly sales target for CR-V was a low estimate of “400 units,” and in fact, the production pace is the same as that of the high-performance model Civic Type R (New Civic Type R, FL5).
However, the major difference from the FL5 is that while the FL5 is produced at the Yorii factory in Japan, the CR-V is produced at the Thailand factory like the Accord e:HEV, so the grade and body color to be produced are determined each month, and there is also a time lag in shipping by sea, making early delivery difficult.
Thinking about it that way, I think we were really lucky to be able to order early before the car was released, and to have it delivered quickly right after the car was released.If orders for some grades are stopped at this time, there is a possibility that orders for other grades will also be stopped soon, and a large price increase in the name of some improvements will be implemented as soon as possible, so it may be only a matter of time before you can purchase a CR-V e:HEV RS for around 5 million yen.
