2026 Honda CR-V Trim Levels Explained

If you're weighing your options in the compact SUV segment, the 2026 Honda CR-V lineup gives you three distinct configurations to consider, each one calibrated for a different kind of owner. Clark Knapp Honda in Pharr, TX put together this guide to help you understand what separates the LX, EX, and EX-L before you visit.

LX

Every 2026 Honda CR-V shares the same 190-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the LX puts it in a well-equipped cabin without asking you to step up. A 9-inch touchscreen handles connectivity through wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a wireless charging pad keeps your phone topped off, and Honda Sensing® covers driver-assistive features including Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping Assist. Front-wheel drive is standard, with Real Time All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control System™ available.

EX

What the EX adds to the 2026 Honda CR-V foundation comes down to how the new Honda SUV feels on a real Tuesday morning. A one-touch power moonroof opens up the cabin when conditions allow, heated front seats take the edge off cooler starts, and a Smart Entry system with Walk Away Auto Lock means you're never standing at the door looking for your keys. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and remote start are also standard here, and the audio system upgrades to six speakers.

EX-L

Leather defines the jump to the EX-L: seating surfaces, steering wheel wrap, and an interior character that reads noticeably more upscale. The 2026 Honda CR-V EX-L also moves up to an eight-speaker audio system, 18-inch alloy wheels, a power tailgate for hands-free loading, and a power-adjustable front passenger seat alongside the already-standard driver's side. If you spend time in the vehicle every day, the EX-L is the trim where the cabin stops feeling like a base-model interior and starts feeling like a considered one.
