2023 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid vs 2023 Honda CR-V EX-L
Serving Richardson, TX
For the last couple of decades, the Honda CR-V has drawn the attention of crossover SUV shoppers in the Richardson area and beyond. This small crossover displays a beautiful redesign for the 2023 model year to take its appeal to the next level. The CR-V has four trims: the EX, Sport, EX-L, and Sport Touring. Our Lute Riley Honda customers frequently inquire about the core differences between the mid-level Sport and EX-L trims, and a detailed review reveals their individuality.
Performance
If you choose to drive the 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid, your crossover will have a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter hybrid system that produces 204 combined horsepower. This system is designed with front-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission. The EX-L trim has the same transmission and drivetrain, and it is powered by a 1.5-liter turbo, four-cylinder gas engine that generates 190 horsepower.
Appearance
There are exciting differences in styling between the Sport Hybrid and the EX-L trims. However, all 2023 CR-V crossovers display a refreshed façade with a forward-leaning profile and a thick belt of black molding over the side doors. The nose also has a fresh look with slender, angled, and LED-topped headlights. The bumper angles to the sides connect with the slanted air vents. The grille has a new mesh design for a contemporary touch. The CR-V EX-L is designed with 18-inch wheels. The Sport Hybrid adds dark, dramatic trim across the exterior.
Features
There are also a few minor differences between these trims inside the cabin. They are both available with a two-zone auto climate control system, a six-speaker or eight-speaker audio system, ambient lighting, a push-button engine starter, a 7-inch touch display screen or larger, heated front seats, and Android Auto with Apple CarPlay. The Sport Hybrid is exclusively available with rear USB ports and a leather-covered steering wheel. The EX-L has a few extras, including wireless connections for the smart device apps, memory settings for the driver's seat, leather seats, front and rear parking sensors, and a power liftgate.
