Honda CR-V LX vs. EX vs. EX-L: What the Gas Trims Offer

Every gas-powered Honda CR-V is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Gas models maximize cargo utility, delivering up to 39.3 cubic feet of rear cargo room and up to 76.5 cubic feet with the second row folded flat.

Honda CR-V LX: The Practical Baseline

Starting at $31,520 MSRP, the CR-V LX delivers core capability without feeling stripped down. Standard equipment includes the 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a Qi wireless phone charger, 17-inch wheels, push-button start, and the full Honda Sensing® active safety suite. The LX is ideal for commuters seeking spacious versatility and renowned Honda reliability on a sensible budget.

Honda CR-V EX: The Everyday Comfort Upgrade

Starting at $33,550 MSRP, the CR-V EX adds the convenience amenities daily drivers appreciate most. Upgrades include a one-touch power moonroof, heated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The EX also introduces Blind Spot Information (BSI) with Cross Traffic Monitor—essential when merging onto I-77 or backing out of busy parking decks in SouthPark.

Honda CR-V EX-L: Premium Comfort and Upgraded Tech

Starting at $35,800 MSRP, the EX-L serves as the flagship gas trim. It elevates cabin luxury with leather-trimmed seating, driver’s seat two-position memory, a power passenger seat, and a programmable power tailgate. Front and rear parking sensors and an upgraded 8-speaker audio system round out this refined package.

How Do the Honda CR-V Hybrid Trims Compare?

Every 2027 CR-V Hybrid trim features Honda’s advanced two-motor hybrid system, combining a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine with electric drive motors to deliver 204 horsepower and an immediate 247 lb-ft of torque. Because the electric motors handle low-speed acceleration, the hybrid provides responsive, seamless power in stop-and-go traffic along Independence Boulevard while returning up to an estimated 43 mpg city.

Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid: Efficient and Athletic

Starting at $36,030 MSRP, the Sport Hybrid pairs hybrid performance with sleek styling cues. It shares the EX trim’s comfort equipment—including heated front seats and a power moonroof—while adding gloss-black exterior accents, Berlina Black 18-inch wheels, roof rails, and an interior highlighted by orange contrast stitching. For drivers commuting into Charlotte from Concord or Gastonia, the Sport Hybrid offers the most accessible entry point to hybrid efficiency.

Honda CR-V Sport-L Hybrid: Efficiency Meets Luxury

Starting at $39,125 MSRP, the Sport-L Hybrid combines the athletic styling of the Sport with the premium amenities of the EX-L. Drivers enjoy leather-trimmed seating with orange stitching, power-adjustable front seats with driver memory, a power tailgate, and front and rear parking sensors alongside the standard 9-inch wireless display and charger.

Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid: Ready for Weekend Adventure

Starting at $39,200 MSRP, the TrailSport Hybrid is tailored for active drivers who frequently explore unpaved roads and mountain trailheads. It comes standard with Real Time AWD, rugged all-terrain tires wrapped around 18-inch alloy wheels, and signature TrailSport exterior accents. The cabin features durable all-season floor mats, orange ambient lighting, orange interior stitching, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster.

Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid: The Fully Loaded Flagship

Starting at $42,950 MSRP, the Sport Touring Hybrid comes standard with Real Time AWD. As the premier trim in the lineup, it features Google built-in (integrating Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play natively), a 10.2-inch all-digital instrument display, a 12-speaker Bose® premium sound system, a hands-free access power tailgate, a heated steering wheel, and machine-finished 19-inch gloss-black wheels.
