Selecting the right 2027 Honda CR-V comes down to your personal priorities for performance, luxury, and budget: the EX-L offers the highest overall value among gasoline models thanks to its leather seating and power tailgate, while the Sport-L Hybrid stands out as the best overall choice across the entire lineup by pairing a 204-horsepower hybrid system with premium cabin refinements. Budget-conscious buyers can choose the well-equipped entry LX, while drivers seeking outdoor capability benefit from the rugged TrailSport Hybrid.
The 2027 Honda CR-V lineup features seven distinct trim levels split across traditional gasoline and two-motor hybrid powertrains. Gasoline models begin with the LX, which carries a starting MSRP of $31,520. The LX includes a 190-horsepower turbocharged engine, the full Honda Sensing safety suite, LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Stepping up to the EX at $33,550 adds daily convenience features like a one-touch power moonroof, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10-way power driver seat, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The gas lineup peaks with the EX-L at $35,800, which elevates cabin comfort with leather-trimmed seating, a power tailgate, an eight-speaker audio system, wireless phone charging, and parking sensors.
For drivers seeking maximum fuel efficiency and elevated output, the hybrid range begins with the Sport Hybrid at $36,030. It pairs the 204-horsepower hybrid drivetrain with 18-inch gloss-black alloy wheels, roof rails, and sport interior stitching. The Sport-L Hybrid at $39,125 builds on the Sport Hybrid by adding leather-trimmed seats, memory seat positioning, a power front passenger seat, and dual chrome exhaust finishers. Outdoor enthusiasts can select the TrailSport Hybrid at $39,200, which includes standard Real Time All-Wheel Drive, all-terrain tires, off-road-tuned suspension logic, orange ambient interior lighting, and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. At the top of the range, the Sport Touring Hybrid at $42,950 provides standard Real Time All-Wheel Drive, a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system, Google built-in navigation software, a hands-free access power tailgate, and a heated steering wheel.

What Are the Engine Power, Fuel Efficiency, and All-Wheel Drive Options for the 2027 CR-V?
The 2027 Honda CR-V offers two highly capable powertrains: a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivering 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque on gas trims, and a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder two-motor hybrid system producing 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque on hybrid models. Front-wheel-drive gas models earn an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city / 33 mpg highway, while front-wheel-drive hybrid models deliver up to an EPA-estimated 43 mpg city / 36 mpg highway.
The standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine equips the LX, EX, and EX-L trims. Mated to a continuously variable transmission, this engine reaches peak torque at just 1,700 rpm, delivering eager off-the-line acceleration for highway merging and passing maneuvers. On gas models, Real Time All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control System is available for an additional $1,500, dropping fuel economy slightly to an EPA-estimated 27 mpg city / 31 mpg highway.
Hybrid models—comprising the Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid—utilize Honda's advanced two-motor hybrid architecture. This powertrain connects a high-efficiency 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric drive motor to generate 247 lb-ft of torque, offering immediate throttle response without the shifting hesitations of a traditional automatic gear set. Front-wheel drive is available on the Sport Hybrid and Sport-L Hybrid, achieving 43 mpg city / 36 mpg highway. Real Time All-Wheel Drive is available on Sport Hybrid and Sport-L Hybrid trims and comes standard on the TrailSport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid. All-wheel-drive hybrid models achieve an EPA-estimated 40 mpg city / 34 mpg highway on the top Sport Touring Hybrid trim.
For residents navigating the rolling hills and lakefront routes around Greenwood, opting for Real Time All-Wheel Drive provides proactive traction management. The system monitors wheel speed and steering angles continuously, routing engine power to the rear wheels before front-wheel slip can occur during sudden rain showers or on unpaved boat ramps.
If you are currently evaluating ownership options or cross-shopping powertrain choices, browsing our pre-owned inventory selection gives you a clear perspective on how well Honda crossovers maintain their condition and resale value over time.

What Interior Features and Technology Updates Are Included in the 2027 Honda CR-V?
The 2027 Honda CR-V introduces a 9-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone charging as part of its updated interior technology features. Upper trims add an available 10.2-inch digital driver display cluster, leather upholstery, and Google built-in connectivity features.
The center console centers around the 9-inch color touchscreen interface, designed with a built-in finger rest to keep your hand steady while adjusting settings on the move. Dual front USB-C charging ports come standard, while EX and higher trims add dual rear USB-C ports to keep second-row passengers powered up. On the top-tier Sport Touring Hybrid, the infotainment system introduces Google built-in, integrating Google Assistant, Google Maps navigation, and third-party media applications directly into the dashboard. Audio options range from a crisp 160-watt system on the entry trim to an immersive Bose 12-speaker premium sound system with Centerpoint surround-sound technology on the flagship hybrid.
Cabin space remains one of the largest in the compact crossover segment. Rear-seat passengers enjoy 41 inches of legroom alongside multi-position reclining seatbacks. Cargo versatility is equally generous, offering about 39 cubic feet of rear cargo space behind the second row on gas models. Folding down the 60/40 split rear seatbacks expands total cargo volume to about 77 cubic feet, creating a flat load floor capable of carrying camping gear, luggage, or oversized home improvement supplies.
When shoppers inspect the cabin during a showroom visit, our team always points out the honeycomb mesh accent spanning the dashboard, which seamlessly conceals the climate control air vents while adding a sleek, modern visual aesthetic.

What Standard Safety Systems Are Included in Honda Sensing for the 2027 CR-V?
Honda Sensing in the 2027 CR-V includes advanced features like Collision Mitigation Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control to enhance driver safety. Standard passive safety equipment includes ten airbags, featuring driver and front passenger knee airbags and rear-seat side-impact airbags.
The active safety systems operate through a combination of wide-angle camera technology and radar sensors:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System: Scans the roadway ahead for detected vehicles or pedestrians, issuing visual and audible warnings before automatically applying brake pressure if a frontal impact is determined to be unavoidable.
- Road Departure Mitigation System: Identifies painted lane markings and road edges, providing subtle steering feedback or selective braking assistance if the vehicle drifts out of its lane without an active turn signal.
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow: Maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead on highway routes, automatically slowing the CR-V to a complete stop in traffic jams and resuming cruise speed when traffic clears.
- Lane Keeping Assist System: Makes continuous minor steering adjustments to help keep the crossover centered within detected travel lanes during highway driving.
- Traffic Sign Recognition: Displays posted speed limit signs directly on the digital instrument cluster display as you pass them.
Standard driver-awareness tools also include Blind Spot Information System, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, Driver Attention Monitor, and a multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines. In crashworthiness evaluations conducted by safety organizations, the Honda CR-V earned Good ratings in major collision impact tests, backed by an Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure designed to absorb and deflect impact energy away from cabin occupants.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety and driver-assistance features by trim
All trims, including EX 2WD, EX AWD, EX-L 2WD, EX-L AWD, Hybrid Sport 2WD, Hybrid Sport AWD, Hybrid Sport Touring AWD, Hybrid Sport-L 2WD, Hybrid Sport-L AWD, LX 2WD, LX AWD, and TrailSport AWD, come standard with ABS, Isofix preparation, front and rear head restraints with height adjustability, and a number of seat belt safety features such as front driver and passenger pre-tensioners, height-adjustable front seat belts, and 3-point center rear seat belts.
Safety features across all trims also include rear occupant alert, emergency call capability, an accident data recorder, and a driver monitoring system as part of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The anti-collision system automatically activates brake lights and seat belts and offers automatic emergency braking on all trims.
One distinction appears with the anti-collision system's low-speed front braking: this feature is standard on all trims except the Hybrid Sport Touring AWD, where this capability is not listed as standard and is presumably added on higher or separate packages, requiring confirmation from official sources.
​
How Does the 2027 Honda CR-V Compare Directly to the Toyota RAV4?
The 2027 Honda CR-V holds a distinct edge over the Toyota RAV4 in rear-seat passenger room and overall cargo accessibility, offering 41 inches of rear legroom compared to 37.8 inches in the RAV4, alongside about 39 cubic feet of rear cargo space versus about 37.5 cubic feet in the competitor. The CR-V also features wider-opening rear passenger doors and a lower cargo liftover height, making loading child seats or bulky cargo significantly easier.
In terms of driving dynamics, the CR-V's longer wheelbase and wider track deliver a smooth, composed ride quality that suppresses road harshness over rough pavement. While the Toyota RAV4 offers a competitive hybrid option, the CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid's 247 lb-ft of torque provides immediate electric throttle response and quieter, smoother simulated gear transitions during hard acceleration.
Inside the cabin, the CR-V emphasizes functional ergonomics. Physical rotary dials for the dual-zone automatic climate control allow effortless adjustments without taking your eyes off the road, unlike the menu heavy touchscreen interfaces found in some segment rivals.
For suburban commuters driving daily through Easley, the combination of generous rear legroom, hushed cabin insulation, and linear power delivery makes the CR-V an exceptional choice for managing daily carpools and highway travel alike.
