Honda Announces Lease Prices for Fuel-Cell 2025 CR-V e:FCEV
Fuel-cell vehicles are hot right now. With deliveries of the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV to start July 9, there are a whole three hydrogen-powered cars on the market (the other two being the Hyundai Nexo and Toyota Mirai). That is, there are a whole three hydrogen-powered cars on the market so long as you live in California — and, in the case of the CR-V e:FCEV, are comfortable with leasing.

The CR-V e:FCEV is a CR-V powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. Fuel-cell vehicles are similar to electric vehicles, but instead of drawing energy from a battery, they use hydrogen stored in on-board tanks to generate the electricity to power their motors. The CR-V e:FCEV differs from the Nexo and Mirai in that it has a battery capable of supplying an additional 29 miles of electric-only driving range. Hydrogen infrastructure is extremely limited, however, which is why the e:FCEV is only available via lease in California.

Competitive Lease Pricing
Honda is offering three lease options for the 2025 CR-V e:FCEV: three and six years, as well as a two-year high-mileage package. The three- and six-year options allow for drivers to cover 12,000 miles a year, while the two-year lease allows for 30,000 miles annually. Amounts due at signing and monthly payments are as follows:
- Three years/36,000 miles: $2,959 due at signing, $459 per month
- Six years/72,000 miles: $2,889, $389
- Two years/60,000 miles: $2,989, $489
All three leases include up to 21 days of complimentary rental cars from Avis while in California, 24/7 roadside assistance and access to carpool lanes throughout California. Given the high price of hydrogen, they also include a generous hydrogen allowance that works out to about 42 cents per mile: $15,000 of credits on the three-year lease, $25,000 on the high-mileage two-year lease and $30,000 with the six-year option.
Honda says the lease payments are based on an MSRP of $50,000, but the offers compare favorably with what’s available to lessees of a regular CR-V Hybrid. Currently, a Southern California shopper can get into a three-year lease with 10,000 miles per year on a $40,800 (including destination) CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring for about $4,200 due at signing and $530 per month. CR-V e:FCEV leases are available at 12 Honda dealerships in California: six throughout Los Angeles and Orange County, five in the San Francisco Bay Area and one in Sacramento.
