The 2014 Honda CR-V comes in three trims: LX, EX, EX-L, offered in both front- and all-wheel-drive versions. Prices start at $22,945. Our 2014 Honda CR-V tester was the top-line EX-L with AWD at $31,275.
The new generation CR-V has some spiffed-up sheet metal, a more efficient engine, along with refinements in the AWD system. Inside, Honda simplified the rear seat fold-down process and added a fistful of technology and connectivity features.
One way that CR-V choices have been streamlined is to offer it with only one powertrain. The sole driveline connects a 2.4-liter four-cylinder motor with a five-speed automatic transmission. The 2.4L is rated at 185 horsepower and 163 lb.-ft. of torque. EPA predicts the 2014 CR-V capable of doing 23 miles per gallon city and 31 mpg highway (FWD); 22/30 mpg (AWD).
