If you’ve been researching your next SUV, the 2026 Honda CR-V in Coeur d’Alene is worth a close look. With multiple trim levels ranging from the practical LX to the fully loaded Sport Touring Hybrid, there’s a version of this SUV built for nearly every lifestyle and budget. This guide breaks down what each trim brings to the table so you can shop with confidence.

Understanding the 2026 Honda CR-V Trim Lineup
Before diving into the details, it helps to understand how the 2026 Honda CR-V lineup is organized. The non-hybrid trims — LX, EX, and EX-L — are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder engine producing 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission. The hybrid trims — Sport Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid — use a 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder engine paired with an AC synchronous permanent-magnet electric motor and a two-motor hybrid system with 204 hp. Every trim comes standard with Honda Sensing, Honda’s suite of driver-assistive technologies.
CR-V LX: The Smart Starting Point
The LX is the entry point into the 2026 Honda CR-V lineup, and it doesn’t feel like a compromise. Standard features include LED headlights, automatic climate control, a 7-in digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility, and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. Safety coverage is strong right out of the gate, with Honda Sensing features like Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Traffic Jam Assist all included. Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System is also available.
CR-V EX: More Comfort, More Convenience
The EX builds on the LX by adding features that genuinely improve the day-to-day driving experience. You’ll gain a one-touch power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock, and heated front seats. The EX also upgrades to 18-in silver-painted alloy wheels and adds Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor — a Honda Sensing feature that many drivers consider essential for highway driving. The driver’s seat also gets 10-way power adjustment with two-way power lumbar support, making longer drives noticeably more comfortable.
CR-V EX-L: Refined Everyday Luxury
The EX-L steps up the interior quality with leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and a front passenger power seat. The driver’s seat also adds a two-position memory function, which is a nice touch for households with multiple drivers. Audio gets a significant boost with a 320-watt system featuring eight speakers and HD Radio. Practical additions include front and rear parking sensors and a power tailgate with programmable height. If you want a well-rounded, comfortable SUV without moving into hybrid territory, the EX-L represents the top of the non-hybrid lineup.
CR-V Sport Hybrid: Where Efficiency Meets Style
The Sport Hybrid is where the CR-V trim levels diverge from the non-hybrid versions. The powertrain shifts to a two-motor hybrid system with three drive modes — ECON, Normal, and Sport — along with deceleration selectors that let you manage energy regeneration. Visually, the Sport Hybrid sets itself apart with 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels, gloss black roof rails, and gloss black heated power side mirrors with integrated LED turn indicators. Inside, you’ll find a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with distinctive orange stitching. The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System is also included for pedestrian awareness at low speeds.
CR-V TrailSport Hybrid: Built for More Adventurous Roads
The TrailSport Hybrid takes the Sport Hybrid as its starting point and adds features tailored to drivers who occasionally head off the beaten path. Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System comes standard here, along with 18-in Shark Gray alloy wheels and all-terrain tires. The TrailSport also upgrades to a 320-watt audio system with eight speakers and a 10.2-in digital instrument cluster. All-weather floor mats and a power tailgate with programmable height round out the package.
CR-V Sport-L Hybrid: Technology at the Forefront
The Sport-L Hybrid layers additional technology and comfort like Wi-Fi hotspot capability, which requires an AT&T data plan and is useful for passengers who need connectivity on the road. The drive system expands to four modes — ECON, Normal, Snow, and Sport — which adds more nuance to how the vehicle responds in different conditions. The Sport-L also upgrades to 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels and all-season tires, along with leather-trimmed seats.
CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid: The Flagship Experience
The Sport Touring Hybrid is the most fully equipped trim. It adds Google built-in, HondaLink subscription services, and a Predictive ECO Assist system that uses navigation data to optimize efficiency. The five-mode drive system introduces an Individual mode, giving drivers the most personalized control of any trim. Audio steps up to a Bose® premium sound system with 12 speakers, including a subwoofer. Additional premium touches include a heated steering wheel, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a hands-free power tailgate with programmable height. Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System is also standard.
