2021 Honda CR-V

There are four trims for the 2021 Honda CR-V: the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring. The LX comes with 17-inch wheels, the EX and EX-L with 18-inch wheels, while the Touring boasts 19-inch wheels. An active shutter grille adds character to the body of the CR-V. A rear privacy glass and one-touch power moonroof become standard from the EX, along with LED fog lights, heated body-colored power side mirrors, and a smart entry system. For roof rails, choose the Touring trim.

The 2021 CR-V is available in your choice of 10 exterior color options including Obsidian Blue Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic, and Modern Steel Metallic.

The CR-V's base engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. This engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). There's a hybrid powertrain available on the top three trims. It pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a net output of 212 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque. It's mated to an electronic continuously variable transmission (e-CVT)

Front-wheel is standard on the CR-V with the gas engine; with the hybrid setup, all-wheel drive is standard. All-season tires, a Macpherson strut front suspension, multi-link double-wishbone rear suspension, and a ground clearance of up to 8.2 inches make driving easier no matter the terrain or time of year.

The CR-V also handles well around tight corners, thanks to front and rear stabilizer bars and a 37.4-inch turning diameter. This mid-size SUV can tow up to 1,500 pounds.

There's seating for up to five adults in the 2021 CR-V. From the EX, you can drive on heated seats with 12-way power adjustment and four-way lumbar support. The EX-L and Touring feature leather-trimmed seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a front passenger seat with four-way power adjustment.

Standard infotainment features include Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling and streaming audio, a USB port, and a 12V power outlet. From the EX, your CR-V will come with a 7-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, SiriusXM, and HD radio. Exclusive to the Touring are a nine-speaker premium audio system, a wireless phone charger, and the Honda satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition.

The 2021 Honda CR-V is equipped with many standard active safety features including forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking system, lane-departure warning, and a multi-angle rearview camera. From the EX, you can get the blind-spot monitoring system with a cross-traffic monitor. Airbags are strategically positioned all around the cabin, auto high beams will improve your vision in low visibility conditions, and child-proof rear door locks alongside the LATCH system will keep your kids secure while they ride.
