Honda CR-V LX saves money, EX-L adds comfort for Egg Harbor Township drivers
Honda lists the 2026 CR-V LX (2WD) at $30,920 and the EX-L (2WD) at $35,400. The LX is the lower-priced trim, so it is the one to choose if the sticker matters most. The EX-L costs more and brings the comfort and convenience equipment that goes with the higher trim. Buyers in Egg Harbor Township should compare both on the lot at Boardwalk Honda, 6807 Tilton Rd, before they decide.
How much more does the Honda CR-V EX-L cost than the LX?
The LX starts at $30,920 and the EX-L starts at $35,400, both as 2WD models, according to Honda’s published 2026 pricing. That is a $4,480 difference at the starting price. The gap stays on the AWD versions too: the LX (AWD) starts at $32,420 and the EX-L (AWD) at $36,900.
What does the Honda CR-V EX-L add over the LX?
The EX-L is the higher trim, and the published 2026 CR-V data shows the same engine, horsepower and torque on both trims: 190 hp at 6,000 rpm and 179 lb-ft of torque at 1,700 to 5,000 rpm. The difference is in what sits around the engine, not under the hood: Honda lists leather-trimmed seats and a power tailgate with programmable height as standard on the EX-L. Honda’s warranty runs the same for the whole CR-V line: 3 years or 36,000 miles basic, 5 years or 60,000 miles powertrain, and 5 years with no mileage limit for corrosion.
What do you get for the money on each Honda CR-V trim?
At Boardwalk Honda, the LX and EX-L share the same published cargo and legroom figures. Both trims show 41.3 inches of row 1 legroom, 41 inches of row 2 legroom, 39.3 cubic feet of cargo behind row 1, and 76.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo. The price step is the difference: $4,480 more for the EX-L at the 2WD starting price, with no change to those space figures. Buyers who need the extra room should know the space is the same on both trims.
What engine and EPA fuel economy does each Honda CR-V trim have?
Honda publishes the same engine for the LX and EX-L: a 190-horsepower engine at 6,000 rpm, with 179 lb-ft of torque at 1,700 to 5,000 rpm. The EPA certified figures for the 2026 CR-V are 28 city, 33 highway and 30 combined for the FWD gasoline model, and 27 city, 31 highway and 29 combined for the AWD gasoline model. The hybrid versions are rated higher, at 43 city, 36 highway and 40 combined for FWD, and 40 city, 34 highway and 37 combined for AWD.
Who should skip the Honda CR-V EX-L, and who should skip the LX?
Skip the EX-L if the lower price is the deciding factor. The LX starts at $30,920, and the EX-L starts at $35,400 for 2WD. Skip the LX if you want the higher trim’s added comfort and convenience equipment, since the EX-L is the trim that carries them. A buyer who needs to tow should know that Honda rates the LX and EX-L (2WD and AWD) at 1,500 pounds maximum towing.
How much room and warranty does each Honda CR-V trim carry?
Both trims carry the same cargo and legroom figures on the published 2026 data: 41.3 inches of row 1 legroom, 41 inches of row 2, and 39.3 cubic feet of cargo behind row 1. Maximum cargo is 76.5 cubic feet. Every 2026 CR-V gets the same warranty, 3 years or 36,000 miles basic and 5 years or 60,000 miles powertrain, with corrosion covered for 5 years with no mileage limit.
