If you’re going to shop for a new compact crossover SUV in Martinsville, Danville, Rocky Mount, or Greensboro, it’s hard to imagine the Honda CR-V isn’t on your list of possibilities. The 2025 Honda CR-V is still the standard by which the rest are judged, and rightly so. If you want comfort, decent fuel economy, quality, and reliability from an SUV that’s also easy to park, why look anywhere else?
There are three trim levels available in the 2025 Honda CR-V family. And compared to many rivals that appear to be getting more and more expensive, the Honda CR-V looks like sensational value. The first model in the range for the 2025 model year is the LX, the mid-range model is the EX, and the range-topping non-hybrid version of the 2025 Honda CR-V is the EX-L. All three boast an excellent list of standard equipment, but it’s also easy to make a case for the top-of-the-range EX-L.
All three versions of the gas-only 2025 Honda CR-V feature the same engine. The unit in question is the tried-and-tested 1.5-liter turbo four that develops 190 horsepower and 179 lb.-ft. of torque. The power gets sent to the front or all four wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). AWD is available as an option for all three trim levels, but front-wheel drive is standard. All models also feature an electronic parking brake, hill descent control, hill start assist, and a 3-mode drive system with ECON/Normal/ Snow modes. Front drive models return EPA-estimated fuel economy figures of 28 mpg in the city, 34 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg combined. The extra capability of AWD changes those numbers to 26/31/28 mpg, respectively.
There’s nothing revolutionary or startling about the interior of the 2025 Honda CR-V. Instead, this word-beating Honda SUV provides the driver and passengers with everything they want and need and nothing they don’t want or need. The design is clean, smart, high-quality, and practical, with just the right amount of space for up to five people and their cargo. Standard features include automatic climate control (dual-zone in EX and EX-L trims), a 7.0-inch infotainment screen, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and push-button start. The top EX-L trim adds such upscale standard features as wireless phone charging, a 320-watt 8-speaker audio system, a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, leather upholstery, and heated front seats. The EX-L also has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for extra convenience.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Honda CR-V at this point, it would be interesting to know where you’ve been hiding all this time. The Honda CR-V has long been and continues to be, one of the best-selling SUVs in America and globally. The 2025 Honda CR-V is the culmination of decades of success, innovation, and development.
