When you’re given the choice of four 2021 Honda CR-V trim levels, what would you choose? LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims create the CR-V lineup, which provides variety for Annandale, Clinton, and Somerville, NJ, and Easton, PA, purchasers. Once you’ve read our Clinton Honda trim rundown, you’ll be able to select the ideal one for your driving.

CR-V Interior

Seating options can be very personal and critical to comfort. A 6-way manual driver’s seat comes in the LX, but you can double that adjustability with a 12-way power driver’s seat, standard in every other trim.

The three highest trims of the Honda Civic give you heated front seats while leather trim begins at EX-L and extends to Touring. Accent that space with a Heated, Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel in the two highest trims.

To cool off or warm up your cabin, automatic climate control ventilates the LX while the other trims enjoy dual-zone automatic temperature control. The upper trims offer a One-Touch Power Moonroof for a fresh perspective.

Access your trunk with a traditional tailgate for the LX and EX. If you need a helping hand, get the EX-L for the Power Tailgate, or the Touring trim to use the Hands-Free Access Power Tailgate.

CR-V Technology

Each trim offers its own audio system. From the LX to the EX-L, the audio system upgrades you with two extra speakers. This starts with the LX at four speakers, EX at six, and EX-L at eight. The Touring upgrades your system to a 9-speaker Premium Audio System for an extra punch of sound.

In the entry-level trim, LX, you’ll view a 5-inch LCD screen; but with every other trim, a 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen shows off every app through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ integration. The smartphone integration option begins with the EX trim. If you want to wireless charge your phone while you drive, the Touring features it, which can bring you extra convenience.

CR-V Dependability

Honda never turns its eye away from safety with the CR-V reliability factors in place for every trim. Forward Collision Warning, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow comes in every trim with the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera. These keep you apprised of what’s coming up and how to manage the road ahead.

For extra visibility, consider the EX through Touring trims. They all include a Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor. Sensors placed in the rear CR-V bumper alert you to any activity in either space.

CR-V MPG

You won’t have to look far to find the right mix of CR-V efficiency. Every trim uses the 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower with 179 lb-ft of torque. Either 2WD or AWD can be equipped in any trim. If you stick with 2WD, the CR-V achieves an EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG. With AWD, it achieves an EPA-estimated 27 city/32 highway MPG.¹
