2016 Honda CR-V EX

Looking for a reliable sidekick to make your daily drives and weekend adventures feel like a breeze? Meet the 2016 Honda CR-V EX — the trusty steed powered by a 2.4L I4 engine that dishes out 185 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Translation: it’s got just the right amount of pep to get you where you’re going without making a fuss.

This EX model rolls in with a factory-default feature party that has something for everybody. Need to keep your phone charged while navigating through traffic? The CR-V’s got your back with a handy 12-volt power outlet and USB connection for seamless syncing and charging. Want to boss around your tunes without taking your hands off the wheel? No problem—Bluetooth audio streaming and steering wheel-mounted controls make life easier (and cooler).

But wait, there's more! The EX trim treats you to a sunroof, so you can let the sunshine in and pretend you’re on a Californian road trip, even if you’re just stuck in rush hour. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps both the diva in the passenger seat and the chill driver equally comfortable. Plus, a rearview camera shows you what’s behind so you can back out of tight spots like a pro without any accidental driveway garden casualties.

Inside, the spacious cabin is decked out with comfortable cloth seats and smart storage compartments for all your gear—or snacks. Safety-wise, it’s got Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ body structure (try saying that five times fast), along with stability control, multiple airbags, and anti-lock brakes, making sure you’re protected while looking ironically cool.

In a nutshell, the 2016 Honda CR-V EX is the perfect mix of “I got this” and “Let’s have some fun” — a solid companion ready for your everyday adventures, with built-in features that have you smiling all the way.
