Honda CR-V trims run from the LX to the Touring Hybrid, and Honda Canada doesn’t offer a standalone EX. The closest match is the EX-L Hybrid. Choose the LX for a well-equipped gas CR-V, the Sport for standard AWD and power features, and a Hybrid trim if efficiency and extra torque matter most to you.
Every CR-V seats five. This guide lays out the trims in order, shows what they share, and explains how they differ. When you’re ready to see them in person, browse the Honda CR-V inventory at Westwood Honda in Port Moody.

- Towing: Up to 680 kg for the gas trims and up to 453 kg for Hybrid trims, with the required accessory towing package.
Extras on the Upper Hybrid Trims
The EX-L Hybrid pairs the two-motor hybrid system with standard Real Time AWD, a power tailgate and a one-touch power moonroof.
At the top, the Touring Hybrid adds a 12-speaker BOSE Premium Sound System and built-in Google. A hands-free power tailgate rounds out the package.
The Right CR-V Trim for Port Moody Driving
Port Moody and the Tri-Cities mix steep residential streets, wet British Columbia winters and weekend runs up into the mountains. That’s why many local drivers lean toward an AWD trim.
Do you head to trailheads or gravel parking lots often? The TrailSport Hybrid’s all-terrain tires suit that lifestyle well. For mostly city commuting, the LX FWD or a Sport Hybrid makes a smart match. Browse the Honda CR-V inventory at Westwood Honda. Full specifications are also on Honda Canada’s CR-V page.
Final Thoughts on Honda CR-V Trims
The LX and Sport give you a capable gas CR-V. The Hybrid trims add more torque, lower fuel ratings, and standard AWD, and the EX-L Hybrid most closely matches an EX. Once you know which trim fits your driving, browse the CR-V inventory at Westwood Honda in Port Moody.
