More Choices, More Adventure

Who doesn’t want a ride that fits their drive style down to the letter? Honda knows what modern drivers want in 2024, and the CR-V is ready to deliver with its expanded trim lineup.

The entry-level LX trim offers drivers an excellent and affordable pairing of performance and power that fits a diverse number of budgets and driving habits. For a vehicle with all the essentials you want, the LX trim is ideal for the value-minded driver. The 109-hp Turbo engine is available with real-time all-wheel drive for a smooth and sporty performance. We love that the LX is loaded with your daily basics, and it starts under $30k.

The EX stacks on the charm where the LX left off, with extra comforts like a one-touch power moonroof and heated front seats. Drivers also get access to useful modern tech like Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock and Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control.

Drivers can green their drive without busting their wallets with the mid-level Sport Hybrid trim. Starting at under $35k, this hybrid reduces your carbon footprint and helps you save with every mile, all without sacrificing performance. Drivers get a 204-hp two-motor hybrid powertrain and real-time all-wheel drive. On the inside, you get unique accents like orange stitching and leather-wrapped steering wheel. Standard exterior roof rails then expand your CR-V’s cargo potential.

The EX-L sits comfortably in the middle of the trim range alongside the Sport Hybrid. The EX-L is all about your comfort and convenience; this means leather seating, a power tailgate, and an expanded 9.0-inch touchscreen. If you want to get comfortable and enjoy some of Honda’s bells and whistles, the EX-L is a great buy for 2024.

The Sport L-Hybrid is near the top of the trim options this year. It is also all-new, which we love! You’ll experience the latest that Honda has to offer behind the wheel of this impressive hybrid. Not only do you get access to the eco-friendly 204-hp two-motor hybrid powertrain, but you also get deluxe features like leather seating plus wireless charging capabilities.

At the top of the list is the Sport Touring Hybrid, which has upgrades like an enhanced Bose stereo system, hands-free power access tailgate, heated steering wheel, a 4-Mode Drive system, and—trust us—lots more. If you want all the extras that Honda has, the upscale Sport Touring Hybrid was made for comfort and adventures, all while reducing your carbon footprint.

Tech-Savvy for Your Convenience

The CR-V is loaded with the latest tech for drivers. Whether you’re looking to stay connected or looking to get comfortable, the CR-V is designed to elevate your driving experience and doesn’t require you to spend a small fortune or be the most tech-minded driver on the road.

If ‘user-friendly’ and ‘streamlined’ are terms you look for when you’re shopping for your next ride, the CR-V is sure to earn a spot at the top of your list. Drivers can enjoy a standard 7.0-inch color touchscreen or upgrade to a 9.0-inch screen, depending on the trim. But whichever you go for, expect clear menus, vivid color, and the ability to swipe, tap, or scroll your way to a custom experience.

Models feature either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Both systems allow you to seamlessly sync your smartphone and give you access to preferred apps, playlists, navigation, and more. Available wireless capabilities mean no more tangled wires or cords. With the CR-V, it’s easy to connect and stay connected.

An extra we love is that the 9.0-inch touchscreen has Smart Shortcuts; this means no more scrolling and searching for that app anymore, as Smart Shortcuts learn and remember all your favorites so you have what you need at your fingertips.

Tech doesn’t stop at the cabin, either, as each CR-V is fully loaded with Honda’s premium Honda Sensing driver assistance suite. Tech systems work in combination to keep an eye on your vehicle’s surroundings, giving you more confidence behind the wheel. The program uses cameras, sensors, and alerts to keep drivers updated on driving conditions and help them avoid possible collisions, all while making driving less stressful.

Advanced Braking is designed to detect pedestrians and cyclists, alert drivers, and even apply the brakes to help them avoid a potential collision. Road Departure Mitigation is a tool designed to help you stay centered and provide steering to guide you back to your lane. For long or trivial drives, you’ll never want to be without it! Add to that Adaptive Cruise Control, which is capable of covering you at high speeds on the freeway as well as low speeds in the city, and your drive just got a little bit better.

The addition of available soft leather and vibrant orange stitching adds a bit of modern sophistication to the sporty ride, while adjustable heated seats combined with a heated steering wheel help you stay toasty the whole way through. Even the power moonroof was designed to elevate the experience, letting in the sunshine to naturally light up the cabin and add to the comfort.
