Honda has expanded the CR-V lineup towards the bottom with a new, entry-level trim called LX, according to a recent report. The budget-friendly trim costs approximately $3,000 less than the EX model, which was positioned at the bottom of the lineup through 2022.
Capital One learned that dealers across the nation began receiving the CR-V LX in February 2023. It should be fairly easy to spot on the lot: the publication notes that the LX stands out from the EX with 17-inch steel wheels covered by plastic hubcaps and non-tinted rear windows. It also loses the EX's power-operated sunroof. Step inside and you'll find a four-speaker sound system and a single-zone climate control system. Honda also removed the power-adjustable driver's seat, the heated front seats, the pockets integrated into the front seatback, the heated door mirrors, and the passenger-side front window's automatic up/down function, among other features standard on the EX trim.
The end result is a fairly basic family hauler that nonetheless offers an acceptable level of equipment. The list of standard features includes a 7.0-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and all of the systems bundled into the Honda Sensing suite of electronic driving aids.
