2016 Honda CR-V EX

The 2016 CR-V is a compact SUV that slots between the HR-V and Pilot, offering a blend of practicality and efficiency for families. It competes with the Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, and Subaru Forester, standing out with its spacious interior and refined ride. The CR-V's 2.4-liter four-cylinder provides smooth, responsive acceleration, and the ride is composed, though road noise is noticeable on coarse pavement. Inside, the CR-V offers a roomy cabin with a clever center console and a large cargo area, making it easy to haul gear or groceries. Available features include a touchscreen infotainment system, rearview camera, and Honda's LaneWatch camera, which helps with blind-spot monitoring. If you want the moonroof, heated seats, and a power driver's seat, the EX is the trim that gets you those upgrades over the SE without stepping up to leather in the EX-L. Its 2.4L I4 pairs with a CVT to deliver 29 mpg combined, and the powertrain feels smooth and responsive around town thanks to the direct injection. This trim adds a 7-inch touchscreen with HondaLink and Pandora, plus Honda's LaneWatch camera that shows the passenger-side blind spot on that screen when you signal.
