Which 2027 Honda CR-V trim fits Sacramento drivers: LX, EX, EX-L, Sport Hybrid or TrailSport Hybrid?

Take the LX or EX for the lowest starting price, the EX-L for the fullest gas-trim equipment, the Sport Hybrid for hybrid EPA ratings, and the TrailSport Hybrid if you head for the Sierra foothills and Tahoe. We sell the CR-V and CR-V Hybrid at 3630 Fulton Ave in Sacramento. Sacramento drivers weigh these five trims on the same facts: price, fuel economy, all-wheel drive, equipment, towing and space.

Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Sacramento. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

Which 2027 CR-V trim fits which Sacramento driver at Capital City Honda?

The LX fits a driver who wants the lowest starting price and can skip all-wheel drive. The EX suits someone who wants comfort features without the leather, and the EX-L suits those who want the most equipment on a gas engine. The Sport Hybrid is the pick for the highest combined fuel rating of the five, for everyday miles.

The TrailSport Hybrid suits rougher ground. It is the only trim here sold with all-wheel drive alone, and it adds the most ground clearance and the all-terrain tires. For Sierra and Tahoe trips, the choice comes down to how much you need all-wheel drive and how much you care about fuel.

What are the EPA fuel economy ratings for each 2027 Honda CR-V trim?

The Sport Hybrid rates highest, at 40 mpg combined with front-wheel drive (fueleconomy.gov). The gas trims are the LX, EX and EX-L, and all three share the same engine and the same ratings.

With front-wheel drive, the gas trims are rated 28 mpg city, 33 highway and 30 combined (fueleconomy.gov).

The hybrids keep their lead with all-wheel drive. The Sport Hybrid with all-wheel drive is rated 40 city, 34 highway and 37 combined (fueleconomy.gov). The TrailSport Hybrid is rated 38 city, 33 highway and 35 combined (Honda News, 2026).

What does each 2027 Honda CR-V trim cost, from LX to TrailSport Hybrid?

The LX starts at $31,520 with front-wheel drive, the lowest-priced trim of any 2027 CR-V (Honda, 2027). The Sport Hybrid starts at $36,030 with front-wheel drive, the lowest-priced CR-V Hybrid (Honda, 2027).

The EX starts at $33,550 with front-wheel drive (Honda News, 2026). The TrailSport Hybrid starts at $39,200, and it comes only with all-wheel drive (Honda News, 2026).

Honda’s starting prices exclude tax, license, registration, destination charge, options and color upgrades. At Capital City Honda, we offer Honda leases, new Honda financing and pre-owned car loans, so you can compare how you pay for the trim you pick.

How do the 2027 CR-V trims differ on all-wheel drive for Sierra and Tahoe trips?

All-wheel drive comes on the LX, EX, EX-L and Sport Hybrid, and the TrailSport Hybrid comes only with it.

The TrailSport Hybrid is the trim built for rougher ground. Honda Canada describes its tires this way: “Standard Continental CrossContact ATR all-terrain tires (235/60R18), mounted on unique Shark Gray 18-inch wheels, improve traction in dirt, sand, mud, rocky terrain and snow, while remaining quiet and comfortable on the road.” (Honda Canada, 2025)

For trips that stay on paved roads, a front-wheel-drive trim does the job. For snow and dirt, pick all-wheel drive, and the Sport Hybrid keeps the hybrid’s fuel rating while it does it.

What does each step up from the 2027 CR-V LX to the EX-L add?

Over the LX, the EX adds heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar, dual-zone climate control, remote engine start, Smart Entry and a power moonroof (Delta Honda, 2026). The EX-L adds leather-trimmed upholstery, a power tailgate and parking sensors over the EX (Drive Illustrated, 2027).

The EX-L’s instrument display is 10.2 inches, against 7 inches on the EX (Drive Illustrated, 2027). Its audio system has eight speakers, against six on the EX (Drive Illustrated, 2027). The EX-L also gets Shark Gray 18-inch alloys in place of the EX’s silver-painted ones (Drive Illustrated, 2027).

The EX-L adds driver-side memory settings and a four-way power-adjustable passenger seat (Honda Newsroom, 2026). For a driver who wants the most features on a gas engine, the EX-L is the step that brings the leather and the tech.

Which 2027 Honda CR-V trim has the specs I need, side by side?

The LX, EX and EX-L tow up to 1,500 lbs, and every hybrid tops out at 1,000 lbs (Honda News, 2026). Horsepower runs 190 on the gas trims and 204 on the hybrids (Honda News, 2026).

The gas trims give up nothing on towing, and the hybrids give up 500 lbs of it.

When should you skip a 2027 Honda CR-V trim for towing or cargo?

Skip the hybrids if you tow more than 1,000 lbs or need the most cargo room.

Behind the first row, the gas trims hold 39.3 cubic feet and the hybrids hold 36.3 (Honda, 2026). Towing on any trim needs accessory towing equipment.

A family that hauls gear to Tahoe on a regular basis should start with the gas trims. A commuter with a boat or small trailer on the weekend can still take a hybrid, as long as the load stays under 1,000 lbs.
