Specs at a Glance

The 2026 Honda CR-V stands as a highly sought-after choice in the compact SUV segment. Drivers frequently select the CR-V for its long-term reliability, engaging performance, accommodating interior, and impressive safety accolades. When exploring the lineup, buyers often compare the LX and EX-L trim configurations. Below is an overview of how these two distinct variations compare.

Performance

Both the CR-V LX and the CR-V EX-L deliver identical, capable performance. Each trim utilizes a 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC four-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant is paired with a continuously variable transmission designed to optimize fuel efficiency. While front-wheel drive is the standard configuration, Honda's Real Time AWD system is available as an option for both models.

Appearance

The foundational CR-V LX features a robust and sophisticated exterior design. Its wide stance and athletic roofline provide a notable presence on the road, complemented by standard LED headlights. Moving up to the CR-V EX-L replaces the 17-inch steel wheels and covers of the LX with 18-inch alloy wheels, which updates the exterior aesthetic. Additionally, the EX-L trim offers an expanded selection of exterior paint colors.

Features

The CR-V LX comes equipped with an array of convenient comfort and connectivity features. The modern infotainment setup includes a 9.0-inch touchscreen display compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® integration. Safety is supported by the standard Honda Sensing suite, which includes driver-assistive technologies such as Collision Mitigation Braking and Lane Keeping Assist. Additional LX amenities include a wireless phone charger, automatic climate control, and push-button start.

Choosing the CR-V EX-L brings a more premium cabin environment. Occupants can enjoy the integrated sunroof on clear days, while leather-trimmed seating enhances overall comfort. Driver awareness is aided by a Blind Spot Information System. The EX-L also adds an eight-speaker audio system, a fully digital instrument cluster, dual-zone automatic climate control, and remote engine start.
