The 2021 Honda CR-V is feisty and fun-loving, with a quick performance and tons of style, inside and out. Honda’s compact crossover also draws you in with its sports utility features. Whether you’re headed out for a night on the strip or to the beach with your kayak, the CR-V is ready to go.

Interior Features

You’re going to love the 2021 Honda CR-V cabin. Up front, plush padding and supportive seating contours mean long-term comfort for driver and front passenger. And the back seats are also plenty comfortable, especially with the optional recline feature.

The CR-V suspension is tuned for maximum comfort, evening out bumps in the road and keeping them from intruding on the CR-V’s smooth, quiet ride.

As you move up the trim levels, the Honda CR-V becomes more and more luxurious. Options include leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and ambient interior lighting.

Exterior Features

The Honda CR-V is compact enough to be city-friendly but also sporty enough to handle a light trail. And it plays both sides of the isle, combining upscale features with friendly utility gear. For example, optional chrome trim and a one-touch power moonroof can glitz up the exterior. And roof rails and a power tailgate make it easy to tote your sports gear around.

Technology Features

You’ll be impressed with the CR-V tech lineup, especially in terms of connectivity. The entry-level LX model supplies the basics, including a USB port. All other models include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, smartphone integration that displays apps on the HondaLink touch screen. As you climb the trim levels, you’ll find more ways to stay connected, including a wireless phone charger and a satellite-linked navigation system.

Safety and Security

The CR-V puts your safety at the forefront. In government crash tests, the CR-V earned the highest marks, including a perfect five-star rating for overall safety.

And every trim model comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite of safety aids. These features can detect danger and, if necessary, intervene to help keep you safe. For example, the lane-keeping assist system detects accidental drift and gently corrects course. The adaptive cruise control system automatically adjusts cruising speed to maintain a safe distance from traffic up ahead.

Power and Performance

Every 2021 Honda CR-V features the same powertrain, a 190-horsepower four-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. You’ll love how the engine and transmission work together to deliver the power you need for the speed you crave. This Honda crossover is especially notable for its sharp steering and composed handling. Wherever you go, you’ll enjoy a precise, controlled performance. All-wheel drive is optional for all CR-V models. Choose this performance gear for a grippier performance on winding roads and soft surfaces.

Performance features:

• 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (190 horsepower, 179 pound-feet of torque)
• Continuously variable transmission with Sport Mode
• Eco Assist System
• Electric parking brake with automatic brake hold

Fuel Economy

It might be sporty, but the CR-V is also efficient. EPA ratings vary slightly according to whether you choose front- or all-wheel drive.

Towing Capacity

For Jet Ski and snowmobile owners, the CR-V is a great option. Properly equipped, Honda’s compact crossover can tow up to 1,500 pounds.
