Honda dropped the LX trim from the CR-V lineup, making the EX the entry-level model for 2023. This comes with a price increase as Honda has released pricing information for the redesigned compact crossover. The 2023 Honda CR-V will start at $32,355 (all prices include the $1,245 destination charge), up from the $28,045 starting cost of the 2022 CR-V LX.
The entry-level EX trim is available with either front- or all-wheel drive, with the AWD starting at $33,855 over the two-wheel-drive variant. The two trims get their power from Honda’s 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which pairs with a continuously variable transmission. It produces 190 horsepower (141 kilowatts) and 179 pound-feet (242 Newton-meters) of torque.
| Trim | Price (incl. $1,245 Destination Charge) |
| EX (2WD) | $32,355 |
| EX (AWD) | $33,855 |
| Sport (2WD) | $33,695 |
| Sport (4WD) | $35,195 |
| EX-L (2WD) | $35,005 |
| EX-L (4WD) | $36,505 |
| Sport Touring (AWD) | $39,845 |
The Sport trim overlaps with the EX, starting at $33,695 for the front-wheel-drive variant. Those who want AWD will have to pay $35,195, with both Sport trims packing a 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain. The setup produces 204 hp (152 kW) and 247 lb-ft (334 Nm) of torque. The Sport models also receive gloss black exterior accents, rectangular exhaust finishers, and 18-inch wheels. Inside, Honda dresses up the interior with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
Honda will also offer the CR-V in a pair of EX-L trims. The front-wheel-drive version starts at $35,005, while the AWD commands a $36,505 starting price. Sitting at the top of the CR-V lineup is the Sport Touring trim, an all-wheel-drive hybrid that starts at $39,845. It comes with 19-inch wheels, a 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, and WiFi hotspot capability.
Every new 2023 CR-V goes on sale with Honda Sensing, the company’s suite of driver-assistant technologies, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the first time, Honda will also pack hill descent control into the CR-V.
The sixth-generation 2023 Honda CR-V will go on sale later this month, with the turbocharged models hitting dealer lots on September 22. Sales for the hybrid-powered CR-V will begin sometime in October.
