It is between the EX and LX trims.
Most automakers are focusing on 2022 models, which is about half way through 2021. Honda has recently added a special edition trim level to its 2021 CR-V lineup. It slots between the LX and EX trims. The new CR-V Special Edition is priced at $27,725 for front-wheel-drive models and $29,195 if you want all-wheel-drive.
The new trim level will not receive the hybrid powertrains that are offered with the CRV EX, EXL, and Touring. The Special Edition trim will be equipped with a 1.5-liter four cylinder engine that produces 190 horsepower (142kW). The continuously variable automatic transmission will provide drive.
It’s not the first time that the Japanese automaker has launched a Special edition trim. Similar packages were previously offered to the Pilot, and Accord. Despite sharing the same name the Accord s special edition package offers additional options. The package includes leather upholstery, an 8.2-inch display, an 8-speaker sound system and sport pedals. It also features 19-inch alloy wheels, a 12-way adjustable driver’s seat, and smartphone compatibility.
The CR-V pack’s $27,725 price tag is not as competitive as its competitors. Similar vehicles are the Hyundai Hyundai Tucson (26,135) and Mazda CX-5 (26,545). Kia Sportage is $25,265, Subaru Forester is $25,845.
