At Boardwalk Honda, we’ve written the following trim level review to help you figure that out. If you want to learn even more, contact us or stop in for a visit!
The Base CR-V Trim: LX
The strong foundation of the 2021 CR-V lineup is the LX Trim. It runs on a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine with a turbocharger paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), a combination that delivers up to 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. For all your around-town driving, this engine will be more than satisfactory.
On the exterior, you’ll find a fin-type roof-mounted antenna, which brings some extra style to the ride. Inside, the Honda infotainment system offers a 5-inch LCD display screen and Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® and Streaming Audio for convenient hands-free calling and music streaming on the go.
Moving Up: Special Edition
In the Honda CR-V Special Edition trim, you’ll find some upgrades like the safe and convenient Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® system that enables you to unlock and open your vehicle by holding the door handle and ensure your belongings are safe by locking when you walk away.
You’ll also get a more interactive infotainment system, complete with a 7-inch touchscreen and Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® integrations. Using select smartphone apps during your drive has never been so easy.
Mid-Level Trim: The EX
As the mid trim level, the EX trim offers all the previously listed features with multiple improvements that will enhance your drive. LED fog lights increase visibility in all weather conditions, even when the ocean brings in some mist. Additionally, the heated, body-colored power side mirrors offer a bend of style and functionality.
The EX also adds a one-touch power moonroof, a great way to let the outdoors in. The standard Blind Spot Monitoring System with Cross Traffic Monitor will be one of your favorite features when merging and changing lanes.
More Features in the EX-L
Choose the CR-V EX-L trim, and you’ll get many additional comfort and convenience features to make your drive more enjoyable. You can luxuriate in leather-trimmed seats with a leather-wrapped steering wheel. When you’re loading up the trunk for a weekend getaway, the power tailgate with a programmable height function makes it easy.
Inside, the automatic-dimming rearview mirror means you won’t be blinded by headlights when you need to see what’s happening behind you.
The Top-Tier Touring Trim
That’s a lot of T’s and the 2021 CR-V Touring brings a lot of features to the mix. Chief among them is the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic, a nice infotainment addition with voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions to your destination.
On the exterior, LED headlights with Auto-On/Off will last longer and run more efficiently, and they look sporty too. Roof rails extend the utility of this crossover, and rain-sensing windshield wipers automatically start and adjust to match the level of precipitation. Add in the standard 9-speaker premium audio system, and you have a Honda CR-V with all the frills!
