2027 Honda CR-V Trim Levels and Specs: Which Trim Is Right for You?
See How the 2027 CR-V Trims Differ in Features, Efficiency, and Capability

Seven trims, two powertrains, and a price spread of more than $11,000 make the 2027 Honda CR-V an easy SUV to like and a tricky one to pick. This guide breaks down every trim level in plain terms, so you know exactly where your money goes before you set foot on the lot.
The Honda CR-V comes in seven trim levels: the gas-powered LX, EX, and EX-L, plus the Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid. Starting MSRP runs from $31,520 to $42,950, with hybrid trims achieving up to an estimated 40 mpg combined.
Our team at Hendrick Honda helps drivers from Charlotte, Concord, Pineville, Matthews, Weddington, Gastonia, and Rock Hill compare CR-V configurations every day. The key questions are always the same: what does each step up add, and is the hybrid worth it? Below, you will find pricing, specs, and features for every trim, plus a guide to matching the right CR-V to your commute and budget.
Key Points: 2027 Honda CR-V Trim Levels
- Every trim covers essential daily technology. A 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a wireless phone charger, and the Honda Sensing® driver-assist suite come standard across all seven 2027 CR-V trims, starting with the base LX.
- The hybrid is the stronger CR-V, not just the thriftier one. Hybrid trims deliver 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque (versus 190 hp and 179 lb-ft from the turbo gas engine) and earn up to an estimated 43 mpg city—a major advantage during I-485 and I-77 rush hour.
- Two trims bring all-wheel drive standard. The TrailSport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid include standard Real Time AWD, while all other 2027 CR-V trims offer AWD as an available $1,500 option.

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.

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.

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.

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.
