Honda sold 36,609 hybrids in July 2026, a new all-time record for the month, as the national gas average hit $4.10 per gallon — up 95 cents from a year ago. The CR-V Hybrid led the charge, but the broader story is how deeply hybrid powertrains have taken hold across Honda's lineup. "Our Honda hybrid models also have been a big hit, bringing in a record number of buyers looking for vehicles with high fuel economy that are still fun-to-drive." The company has said it will accelerate the rollout of hybrid models and expand the list of hybrid-only nameplates beyond the Prelude. At current gas prices, the hybrid version of most Honda models pays for itself faster than it did two years ago — and the gap is widening.
