Used 2023 Honda CR-V SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Honda CR-V comes in five available trim levels: LX, EX, Sport, EX-L and Sport Touring. Sport and Sport Touring models get the hybrid powertrain, while the LX, EX and EX-L come with the standard turbocharged gas engine. The first four trims are front-wheel-drive and offer optional all-wheel drive, while the Sport Touring comes with standard AWD. Keep reading for our breakdown of what you can expect from each trim.

LX
Starts off the CR-V lineup with:

  • Turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (190 horsepower, 179 lb-ft of torque)
  • Continuously variable transmission
  • 17-inch wheels
  • Push-button start
  • LED headlights
  • 7-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Four-speaker sound system

The CR-V also comes with these driver-assist features:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the CR-V back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the vehicle and the car in front)

EX
Adds more features such as:

  • Sunroof
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Heated front seats
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Six-speaker sound system

Sport
The Sport trim is the most affordable way to get into a hybrid-powered CR-V. It's equipped like the EX but with:

  • Hybrid powertrain with 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (204 hp, 247 lb-ft)
  • Roof rails
  • Sport appearance package with darkened exterior elements
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Dual rear USB ports

EX-L
This trim is the best-equipped CR-V with the turbocharged engine. On top of the EX's features, it has:

  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Power liftgate
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • 9-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Eight-speaker sound system
  • Low-speed automatic braking (automatically applies the brakes to avoid a collision when traveling between 1 and 6 mph)

Sport Touring
The fully loaded Sport Touring trim has the features of the EX-L, all-wheel drive and the hybrid powertrain as standard. Honda also includes:

  • 19-inch gloss black wheels
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Ambient cabin lighting
  • Integrated navigation system
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 12-speaker Bose premium audio system
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Which CR-V trim does Edmunds recommend?

We'd put our money on the EX-L trim level. It's the best equipped trim to offer the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which we find is better to drive than the hybrid powertrain. For the extra money over the EX, the EX-L gives you leather seats, a better stereo system and, importantly, the larger touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity.
