New 2026 Honda CR-V EX-L

The 2026 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD is the top-tier non-hybrid trim of Honda's legendary compact SUV. It strikes a perfect balance between premium comfort and everyday utility, featuring significant tech upgrades for the 2026 model year that make it more competitive in its class. It features a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with a smooth continuously variable transmission (CVT). The "L" in EX-L stands for leather, and the cabin reflects that premium focus. The EX-L receives a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a larger 9.0-inch color touchscreen as standard. It includes leather-trimmed seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat with two-position memory. A power tailgate with programmable height and an 8-speaker, 320-watt audio system come standard. Honda Sensing provides a comprehensive suite of safety tech, including collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, and lane keeping assist. The EX-L specifically includes front and rear parking sensors, a feature not found on lower gas trims. The CR-V EX-L remains a class leader with 39.3 cu. ft. of space behind the rear seats, expanding to 76.5 cu. ft. with the 60/40 split seats folded down.
