I’ve been looking to buy my daughter a new vehicle for her upcoming 16th birthday. What trim levels does the Honda CR-V have, and do you think it’d be a good first car?
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The Honda CR-V can be an excellent first vehicle. The four trim levels on the Honda CR-V offer a variety of safety and performance features that will give you the confidence to hand over the keys.
Hybrid: available on EX, EX-L, and Touring for additional cost
All trim levels received a five-star crash test rating from the NHTSA, so we’ll have to look at other features to help make your final decision.
The EX Hybrid offers the most bang for your buck, in our opinion—you’ll get upwards of 40 mpg for the lowest MSRP. Remember, once your daughter goes off to college, she’s going to need good fuel efficiency if you want her to come home regularly!
Before she hits the road, set her up with a full-coverage
