What are CR-V trim levels?
The current Honda CR-V lineup typically uses four core trims on the gas-powered model—LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring—with a parallel four-trim setup for the CR-V Hybrid; a Sport variant has appeared in some years to broaden the range.
Gasoline CR-V trim levels
Below are the standard gasoline CR-V trims commonly found in recent model years, listed from base to top-tier.
- LX
- EX
- EX-L
- Touring
- Sport (appeared in some years as a mid-range alternative; availability varies by year and market)
These trims expand in features as you move up, ranging from essential driver-assist and standard infotainment on LX to leather seating and upgraded tech on EX-L and Touring.
Typical features by trim (gasoline)
In general terms, LX covers core safety tech and basic comfort, EX adds conveniences such as a larger touchscreen and sunroof in most years, EX-L adds leather and power-adjustable seating, and Touring bundles premium audio, navigation, and advanced features. The exact option packages vary by model year and market.
CR-V Hybrid trim levels
The CR-V Hybrid follows the same four-trim ladder for recent years, offering similar equipment tiers but with hybrid power and efficiency enhancements.
- CR-V Hybrid LX
- CR-V Hybrid EX
- CR-V Hybrid EX-L
- CR-V Hybrid Touring
As with the gasoline model, the Hybrid trims differ mainly in interior and tech features, plus the hybrid-specific powertrain, with Touring typically representing the most feature-rich package.
Typical features by trim (hybrid)
Hybrid LX focuses on efficiency and essential safety; hybrid EX adds comfort and technology; hybrid EX-L adds premium interior elements; hybrid Touring bundles top-tier tech and convenience with the hybrid powertrain. Availability and equipment can vary by year.
Notes on variations and current lineup
Trim naming and availability can change year to year and by region. For example, Honda has experimented with a Sport trim in some years for the gasoline CR-V to provide a sportier look and features between EX and EX-L. The Hybrid lineup generally mirrors the gas-powered ladder but with different tuning and standard hybrid components. Always check the current Honda USA/Canada pages or a local dealer for the exact trims and standard equipment for the model year you are considering.
Summary
The CR-V typically offers four core trims on both gas and hybrid versions—LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring—with occasional Sport variants in certain years. This structure provides a progressive path from baseline safety and tech to premium comfort and features, while year-to-year changes and regional differences may adjust which features are included at each level.
