What's New in the 2019 Honda CR-V?
The CR-V is unchanged for 2019. It received a full redesign two years ago.
Which CR-V is the Best?
The base CR-V really doesn't make much sense unless you simply want the car with the lowest price tag. For about $3,000 extra, the EX trim delivers a massive increase in desirable feature content along with better fuel economy. As the volume-selling trim level, you should also be able to easily find one in the right color and at the right price.

The 2019 CR-V comes in a single, 5-passenger configuration and is offered with four trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. All can be equipped with FWD or AWD. The
LX ($24,350) comes standard with 17-in alloy wheels, LED running/accent lights, automatic climate control, a height-adjustable driver seat, cloth upholstery, a 60/40-split folding and reclining back seat (with remote "easy fold" pulls in the cargo area), a backup camera, Bluetooth, one USB port and a 4-speaker sound system. The
EX ($27,250) is the trim most people end up with, which isn't surprising given its dramatic uptick in equipment. It adds the turbocharged engine described above plus 18-in wheels, automatic headlights, fog lights, proximity entry and push-button start, remote ignition, rear privacy glass, a sunroof, a cargo cover,
dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver seat, heated front seats, three extra USB ports (one front, two rear), a 7-in touchscreen,
Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a 6-speaker sound system with satellite radio. Also included is a package of accident avoidance tech consisting of blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic assist, lane-departure warning and forward-collision warning systems, plus automatic emergency braking, lane-departure prevention, a driver inattention monitor, automatic high beams and
adaptive cruise control with traffic-friendly slow-speed follow capability. The
EX-L ($29,750) adds a power liftgate, leather upholstery, driver memory settings, a 4-way power passenger seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, HD radio and an 8-speaker sound system. A navigation system can be added to the existing touchscreen and is the CR-V's only factory option. The
Touring ($32,750) steps things up with roof rails, LED headlights, automatic wipers, a hands-free power liftgate, a sound system subwoofer and the navigation system.
