2027 CR-V Model Review: New Britain, CT
Discover the 2027 Honda CR-V in New Britain, CT
The 2027 Honda CR-V brings two-row compact SUV versatility to Honda’s lineup. It can accommodate the weekday commute, passenger trips, and a change of plans on the weekend without asking you to move into a three-row SUV.
For shoppers in New Britain, CT, the gas-powered 2027 Honda CR-V trim levels include the LX, EX, and EX-L. They offer different levels of comfort and convenience. Honda also offers the CR-V Hybrid as a separate lineup. The details below focus on the gas-powered models.
A Multipurpose Cabin
The CR-V seats five and gives passengers space in both rows, with 41.3 inches of front legroom and 41 inches in the rear. Behind the second row, the gas-powered model provides 39.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the rear seatback for up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo space. Its 60/40 split also lets you carry a longer purchase while keeping part of the rear seat available.
The LX includes air conditioning with an air-filtration system and a manually height-adjustable driver’s seat. Move to the EX for heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-way power lumbar support. The EX-L adds leather-trimmed seats, two-position driver’s seat memory, and a four-way power front-passenger seat. Active Noise Cancellation™ is standard on all three gas trims, and the EX-L adds an acoustic laminate windshield. Lower LATCH anchors are located at the two outboard rear seats, with tether anchors at all three rear seating positions. Consult the vehicle and child-restraint instructions when installing a child seat.
A Wide Stance With Practical Details
The CR-V’s broad proportions give the compact SUV a purposeful appearance, while its 184.8-inch length and 73.5-inch width provide useful measurements when checking garage or parking-space fit. The wheelbase measures 106.3 inches. Unladen ground clearance is 7.8 inches with front-wheel drive and 8.2 inches with all-wheel drive.
LED headlights, daytime running lights, taillights, and privacy glass are standard. The LX rides on 17-inch steel wheels with covers; the EX has 18-inch Sparkle Silver wheels, and the EX-L uses 18-inch Shark Gray wheels. A compact spare tire is included on each gas trim. The EX and EX-L add heated side mirrors and a one-touch power moonroof. The EX-L also includes a power tailgate, a welcome convenience when a shopping trip ends with your hands full.
The gas-powered CR-V is offered in the following colors. Availability and interior color combinations vary by trim; premium colors may cost extra.
- Solar Silver Metallic
- Crystal Black Pearl
- Meteorite Gray Metallic
- Canyon River Blue Metallic, available on the EX-L among gas trims

Turbocharged Power for Everyday Travel
Each gas-powered 2027 Honda CR-V uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Peak torque is available from 1,700 to 5,000 rpm, providing a broad range of pulling power for everyday driving. A continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive are standard; Real Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System™ is available on all three gas trims. Normal, Econ, and Snow drive modes allow the driver to select a setting for different conditions or priorities. Available AWD and Snow mode can be useful considerations for changing Connecticut weather, but neither replaces suitable tires and careful driving.
When weighing 2027 Honda CR-V fuel economy and performance, consider both your typical routes and your preferred drivetrain. The gas models use regular unleaded fuel and have a 14-gallon tank. Fuel consumption varies with driving conditions, maintenance, and driving habits. The gas-powered CR-V can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. Towing requires accessory equipment, so confirm the vehicle’s equipment and applicable limits before hitching a trailer.
Connected Technology That Fits the Routine
Every gas trim offers connected features for everyday trips, while the driver’s display and audio equipment vary across the lineup. The LX and EX have a 7-inch TFT meter, while the EX-L has a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. Audio systems progress from four speakers in the LX to six in the EX and eight in the EX-L.
Five technology features to consider include:
- 9-inch color touchscreen: A standard central interface for entertainment and compatible smartphone functions
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility: Use supported iPhone features through the vehicle’s display without a cable
- Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility: Connect a compatible Android phone to access supported apps and functions
- Wireless charging pad: Standard Qi-compatible charging keeps a compatible phone within reach without a charging cable
- USB-C connections: Every gas trim has a front smartphone/audio interface; the EX and EX-L add a front charging port and two rear charging ports
Smartphone features require compatible devices, and functionality may vary. The EX and EX-L also include key-fob-activated remote engine start.
Honda Sensing® and Everyday Driver Assistance
Honda Sensing is standard on every gas-powered 2027 CR-V, bringing together systems that can provide warnings or assistance in certain driving situations. The suite also includes Traffic Sign Recognition and Traffic Jam Assist. Five notable features are:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™: Standard across the gas lineup and designed to help mitigate certain frontal collisions
- Road Departure Mitigation System: Standard and able to provide alerts and assistance when certain unintended roadway departures are detected
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow: Standard and designed to assist with maintaining a following interval under applicable conditions

A rearview camera with dynamic guidelines and a Rear Seat Reminder are standard across the gas lineup. Driver-assistance systems have limitations and cannot detect every hazard. They do not replace attentive driving, checking surroundings, or the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely.
