Used 2021 Honda CR-V SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2021 Honda CR-V seats five and is available in five trim levels: LX, Special Edition, EX, EX-L and Touring. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available across the board. Note that there is also a CR-V Hybrid, which is reviewed separately on Edmunds.
Which CR-V trim does Edmunds recommend?
There's really no wrong trim level to pick, so a lot of your decision will come down to your budget and which features you want. Can't decide? Go with the midtier EX model. You get a few more desirable features than the LX (blind-spot monitoring, for example) while keeping the price reasonable.
