Honda’s CR-V has earned a strong reputation for making excellent use of its size, and this 2018 CR-V EX-L adds leather comfort, turbocharged performance, and a substantial driver-assistance package to that practical foundation. Finished in White, this front-wheel-drive compact SUV offers a spacious two-row cabin, flexible cargo capacity, and manageable exterior dimensions that make it equally comfortable commuting between Wesley Chapel and Tampa or handling everyday errands around New Tampa.

Power comes from Honda’s 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission. With 190 horsepower on tap, the CR-V delivers responsive acceleration for merging and passing while maintaining the smooth, easygoing character that suits daily driving. Front-wheel drive keeps the powertrain efficient and straightforward, while an electric parking brake with automatic brake hold adds convenience in stop-and-go traffic. Hill-start assist also helps prevent unwanted rollback when pulling away on an incline.

EX-L trim gives the cabin a noticeably more premium feel. Leather-trimmed seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a driver’s seat with two-position memory, and a four-way power front-passenger seat provide comfort for both daily driving and longer trips. Heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock, push-button start, remote engine start, and an automatic-dimming rearview mirror all contribute to a more polished ownership experience. HomeLink adds convenient control for compatible garage doors and gates.

Passenger space is one of the CR-V’s strongest attributes. The second row provides generous legroom for adults and folds down when cargo space takes priority, creating a broad, useful load floor for luggage, sports equipment, strollers, shopping, or larger household items. A retractable cargo cover helps keep belongings out of sight, while the programmable-height power tailgate makes loading easier and can be adjusted to better suit garages or shorter users. It is the kind of versatility that works just as well for a busy family schedule as it does for a weekend trip toward Clearwater or St. Petersburg.

The touchscreen-based infotainment system supports smartphone integration and audio functions, while SiriusXM capability and multiple USB connections help keep passengers entertained and devices charged. The EX-L’s eight-speaker audio system provides a richer listening experience than lower trims. A multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines makes parking and backing easier, particularly in tighter Tampa Bay lots and garages.

Honda Sensing brings an impressive group of driver-assistance technologies to this CR-V, including Collision Mitigation Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Road Departure Mitigation. Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Monitor adds useful awareness when changing lanes or backing out of a parking space. Automatic high-beam headlights and a driver-attention monitor provide additional support while preserving the CR-V’s natural, straightforward driving character.

This CR-V is Ford Blue Certified, adding the reassurance of a 139-point inspection, a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, 24/7 Roadside Assistance, and applicable FordPass Rewards Points. The certification program adds meaningful coverage to an SUV already known for practical design, comfort, and everyday usability.

Parks Plus adds another layer of ownership protection with paint, headlight, and interior protective treatments, VIN etching, roadside assistance, identity-theft protection and restoration, stolen-vehicle assistance, collision loyalty benefits, cabin sanitizer, and antimicrobial protectant.
