LX

The first trim for the CR-V is the LX, which offers a competitive price but fewer premium features. The LX trim for the 2022 CR-V has an MSRP of $26,800. All exteriors for the CR-V feature a sporty build and confident stance, but the exterior details vary depending on trim. The LX comes standard with two-speed intermittent windshield wipers, black power side mirrors, and multi-reflector halogen headlights with auto settings. The LX trim also has a black roofline spoiler and door handles. The six-way manual adjusting driver’s seat in the LX trim allows you to customize your comfort while driving.

All trims for the CR-V seat up to five passengers, and this trim comes standard with an automatic climate control system and auto control for the driver’s window. The LX has non-illuminated driver and front passenger vanity mirrors. This trim also comes with a five-inch color touchscreen. The 2WD Honda CR-V averages 28 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway, while the AWD CR-V averages 27 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. These numbers are consistent regardless of trim level.

The LX has an in-line four-cylinder engine with a turbocharger. Adaptive Cruise Control, the Road Departure Mitigation System, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Forward Collision Warning using Honda Sensing are all safety features that come standard in the LX trim and all other trims for the CR-V. The LX also has a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with guidelines.

Unlike the LX trim, it also comes with Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock and variable intermittent windshield wipers. A six-way manual adjusting driver’s seat comes standard in this trim, but unlike the LX trim, the Special Edition trim comes with heated front seats.

It also has an additional 1.5-Amp USB Smartphone Interface, a 180-watt audio system with six speakers, and a seven-inch high-resolution touchscreen display. This trim also comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an upgrade from the LX trim. The Special Edition has the same engine as the LX and offers the same horsepower of 190 and 179 lb-ft of torque.

The LX does not come with Remote Start, and this trim does. Like the other trims for the CR-V, the Special Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 14 gallons and comes with a suite of safety features to keep the driver and passengers safe. One upgrade the Special Edition has over the LX is dynamic guidelines with the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera instead of standard guidelines.

For audio and entertainment, this trim also comes standard with SiriusXM and HD Radio, including second-row 2.5-amp USB charging ports.

EX-L

The EX-L is the fourth trim for the CR-V and has an MSRP of $31,900. One premium exterior feature on the EX-L trim is a Power Liftgate with Programmable Height Settings, which makes it easier to access the cargo area of the CR-V.

This trim also comes standard with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather-wrapped shift knob, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The HomeLink Remote System comes standard with this trim and allows you to connect to your other systems and control doors, gates, and other components from your CR-V.

Touring
