How Honda Structures the CR-V Lineup
The 2026 Honda CR-V is available in 7 trims: LX, EX, EX-L, Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, Sport Touring Hybrid. The LX is the entry point, and the Sport Touring Hybrid sits at the top of the range. All trims share the same platform and core engineering. What changes between them is features, comfort, and in some cases wheels and appearance.
Adjacent trims usually differ in tech and convenience features. Bigger jumps often include powertrain or capability changes. If you're still deciding between models, see the full Honda hub. If you're not sure which trim level to target, our how to pick a trim guide and packages vs. trims breakdown can help.
