The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV ready to explore the roads of Cerritos, Buena Park, and Long Beach, CA. With the ability to take on everything from the crowded streets of LA to the beachside coast, the CR-V is ready to be your companion all over Southern California.
Here at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Cerritos, we know how important it is to find a reliable vehicle to explore everything this gorgeous area has to offer. Check out our breakdown of the Honda CR-V trim levels below to decide if it’s the right choice for you.
With seating for five and standout exterior colors like Radiant Red Metallic, the Honda CR-V is ready to take on every California road and beyond. This roomy SUV comes in four trim levels and has a number of different customizations to best fit your driving needs.
The four Honda CR-V trims levels are EX, Sport Hybrid, EX-L, and Sport Touring Hybrid. Below, you can learn a bit more about the features of each trim level.
The base trim of the Honda CR-V—the EX—comes ready with everything you need to get where you need to go. It all starts with a highly capable 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. This engine and trim level will also get you an EPA-estimated 28 city and 34 highway MPG for long-lasting adventures.*
On extreme weather days, you’ll especially appreciate the CR-V’s Remote Engine Start with Climate Control, so you can hop in the driver’s seat with the cabin comfortable and ready to go. Plus, the 3-Mode Drive System with ECON, Normal, and Snow modes helps your traction control on any road.
In the EX’s cabin, you can sink into the heated front seats and 10-way power driver’s seat with 2-way lumbar support. The advanced 7-inch touch-screen keeps you connected with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
Finally, if you have more belongings than passengers, the 60/40 split rear seats can open up a maximum of 76.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, making this SUV as versatile as it is powerful!
The next Honda CR-V trim level is the Sport Hybrid. Drivers looking to make a positive impact on the world around them by reducing their carbon footprint will love this model. Along with decreased gas station stops, this trim brings with it a number of exciting features.
Starting with its impressive performance, the Sport Hybrid’s 2-motor hybrid setup produces 204 total system horsepower for maximum power. You’ll enjoy a more efficient ride, too, with an EPA-estimated 43 city and 36 highway MPG.*
This trim takes the standard 3-Mode Drive System and adds an additional mode. On a variety of roads, you can utilize these modes:
As you step into the cabin, you’ll find the Sport Hybrid adds a touch of luxury with its leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather-wrapped shift knob.
The Honda CR-V EX-L takes all the exciting features of the base EX trim and adds even more for drivers to enjoy. It has the same 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, ensuring an efficient and powerful drive. However, the differences really begin to stand out when we look at the cabin.
To start, the 7-inch touch-screen is upgraded to an impressive 9-inch touch-screen. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ can now be wirelessly connected, and the convenient wireless phone charger makes long trips especially easier.
You’ll never want to leave the driver’s seat with the EX-L’s comfortable, leather-trimmed seats. To ensure consistent comfort, the 10-way power driver’s seat now comes with 2-position memory.
This trim level also adds a power tailgate with programmable height to make loading and unloading the CR-V like clockwork. Though standard safety features span across all four trims, the EX-L includes front and rear parking sensors to help you navigate those tricky spots.
The final trim of the Honda CR-V is the Sport Touring Hybrid. Combining fuel-efficient hybrid performance with exclusive and exciting features, you’re sure to enjoy every trip behind the wheel.
Although the Real Time All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control System™ is available for any CR-V trim, the Sport Touring Hybrid makes it standard for easy handling. The power tailgate introduced with the EX-L now has hands-free access.
Connect your smartphone wirelessly and fully immerse yourself in sound with the Bose premium sound system. It includes 12 speakers and a subwoofer, so every song can feel like you’re in the front row at your favorite concert. Finally, the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic has your back on every new and old road you travel.
Each Honda trim level comes standard with the Honda Sensing® driver-assistive safety suite. This includes driver-assistive systems, like:
These systems keep you and your loved ones safe by providing visual and audio warnings when they sense an impending forward collision or sense you are drifting from the center of your lane. They can also provide braking and steering assistance if needed.
As you can see, no matter which CR-V trim you choose, this model is a great choice for your journeys around Cerritos, Buena Park, and Long Beach, California. You just have to decide which best suits your driving needs.
