2018 Honda CR-V Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this CR-V EX is powered by Honda's 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine — a significant upgrade over the naturally aspirated engines found in earlier CR-V generations. This powerplant delivers a strong blend of performance and fuel efficiency, producing around 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with Honda's continuously variable transmission (CVT), which keeps the engine in its optimal power band during acceleration and contributes to notably smooth highway cruising.

This particular unit is equipped with all-wheel drive, meaning you get Honda's Real Time AWD system that automatically channels power to the rear wheels when slip is detected. For Southern California drivers, that translates to confident handling on rainy canyon roads, off-camber mountain routes, or even the occasional desert fire road. The CVT and AWD combo also means real-world fuel economy in the mid-to-upper 20s MPG in city driving and touching 30+ MPG on the highway — a meaningful advantage for daily commuters in the Inland Empire.

Honda CR-V EX Features and Interior

The EX trim sits above the base LX and brings a meaningful step up in comfort and technology. Expect features that include a power moonroof/sunroof, Honda Sensing — Honda's comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies — heated front seats, a 7-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, automatic climate control, and keyless entry with push-button start.

Inside, the CR-V EX offers one of the most practical cabins in the compact SUV segment. The rear seats slide and recline, giving passengers genuine comfort on longer drives. Cargo space behind the rear seats is generous, and with the seats folded, the flat load floor makes hauling furniture, sports gear, or luggage feel effortless. Honda's attention to storage throughout the cabin — including a large center console compartment — makes this an SUV that earns its keep on every single trip.

Honda CR-V Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Honda CR-V consistently earns top marks from both professional reviewers and long-term owners. It received strong reliability ratings from Consumer Reports and J.D. Power, and the CR-V nameplate as a whole has one of the best long-term durability records in the compact SUV class. Owners routinely report crossing 200,000 miles with routine maintenance — oil changes, brake service, and tire rotations being the primary recurring costs.

One thing buyers should be aware of with the 1.5-liter turbo engine in this generation: Honda addressed an early oil dilution concern in colder climates through software updates. In the warm Southern California climate of Fontana and greater San Bernardino County, this is rarely a practical issue, but it's worth knowing. Overall, the 2018 CR-V EX with AWD and a CVT is a well-sorted, thoroughly dependable machine that rewards careful ownership with years of low-cost transportation.
