2026 Honda CR-V Trims Comparison
Which 2026 CR-V trim does Edmunds recommend?
For the money, it's hard to beat the EX-L. It's priced about halfway between the base trim and the top Sport Touring Hybrid, but it comes with plenty of daily comforts and conveniences such as a power liftgate, leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats and an upgraded sound system. If you want a hybrid version of the CR-V for its better mpg, check out the Sport-L. It has many of the EX-L's features.
2026 CR-V trim level differences
The 2026 Honda CR-V is available in seven trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Sport Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid. The LX, EX and EX-L trims come with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the remaining trims use a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain for increased fuel economy. Most CR-V trims come with standard front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. The TrailSport and Sport Touring trims come with standard all-wheel drive.
