Honda CR-V Hybrid Adds $37,645 Hybrid-Only Sport-L for 2024

• The 2024 Honda CR-V Sport-L toes the line between the Sport and Sport Touring trims.

• Honda increases the 2024 CR-V's base price by $1090, with the entry-level LX stickering for $30,795.

• The Sport-L trim comes standard with front-wheel drive and starts at $37,645.

Honda expands the CR-V lineup for 2024 with the addition of the Sport-L trim level. Offered exclusively with the CR-V's hybrid powertrain, the Sport-L bridges the gap between the cloth-seated CR-V Sport and flagship Sport Touring trims, both of which are also hybrid-only affairs.

A New Hybrid CR-V Trim

Don't think of the $37,645 Sport-L as just a CR-V Sport with leather seats, though, as Honda also fits the model with a number of convenience items it previously reserved for the gas-powered EX-L and gas-electric Sport Touring guises.

This includes a power-operated tailgate (there's no kick-to-open feature, though, as Honda reserves that for the Sport Touring), a four-way power passenger seat, front and rear parking sensors, a wireless charging pad, satellite radio, driver's seat memory, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additionally, the Sport-L comes standard with a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system (2.0 inches larger than the Sport 's) and an eight-speaker audio system that betters the Sport's six-speaker setup but falls short of the Sport Touring's Bose-branded 12-speaker system.
