The Honda CR-V EX is the volume trim of one of America's two best-selling compact SUVs (trading the title with RAV4 most years). EX sits above LX and below EX-L and Touring. For buyers who want the core CR-V experience without paying for leather or premium audio, the EX is exactly the right trim.
The current-generation CR-V launched in 2023 with a larger footprint, hybrid powertrain options, and a more refined interior. 2023+ EXs are still holding close to sticker in many markets. The previous generation (2017-2022) is where the value is — 2020-2022 EXs are the sweet spot.
The 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder is the standard engine on pre-2023 EXs. Honda had early issues with fuel dilution in oil on 2017-2018 models — those mostly got fixed, but verify oil-change history on older units. The 2023+ CR-V EX uses a revised 1.5L with the fuel dilution issues largely resolved.
The EX adds alloy wheels, sunroof, heated front seats, Honda Sensing, remote start, and rear privacy glass over the LX. These features matter to resale buyers — EXs sell faster than LXes despite the higher price. Don't skip up to EX-L unless you specifically want leather; the pricing premium isn't justified by the features added.
CR-V EX pricing is relatively consistent nationally, with a slight premium in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast. AWD EXs carry a $1,500-$2,000 premium in snow-belt states. California pricing tracks closely to national average.
At equivalent trims these are the two most cross-shopped vehicles in America. CR-V EX has a slightly more refined ride and better interior ergonomics; RAV4 XLE has more aggressive styling and slightly better resale. Pricing runs within $1,000. Both are excellent — choice comes down to which you prefer driving.
On 2017-2019 1.5L turbo units (primarily in cold climates with short drive cycles), unburned fuel could dilute engine oil over time, potentially causing premature wear. Honda issued service updates and, in some cases, warranty extensions. Most affected vehicles were addressed, but always check the service history and consider oil analysis on older units before purchase.
For most buyers, no. The 2023 has nicer styling and a better interior, but pricing runs $4,000-$6,000 higher than a similarly-equipped 2022. The 2020-2022 EX offers better depreciation-adjusted value if you're not committed to latest-generation.
Our model expects prices to stay roughly flat over the forecast window.
