About This 2013 Honda CR-V EX-L

At 107,069 miles, this CR-V sits in a comfortable range for buyers who understand how Honda builds its vehicles. The 2013 model year represents one of the stronger generations of this nameplate — refined, roomy, and engineered to go the distance well beyond six figures on the odometer. The EX-L trim is Honda's premium configuration for this generation, meaning you're getting real luxury touches without premium-brand pricing. If you've been browsing used SUVs in the Inland Empire, this is the kind of vehicle that checks nearly every box for daily commuters, families, and weekend adventurers alike.
 

2013 Honda CR-V Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this CR-V is powered by Honda's proven 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine with i-VTEC technology — a system Honda developed to deliver both responsive power and real-world fuel efficiency. Paired with a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, this setup is ideal for Southern California's mix of freeway cruising, stop-and-go traffic, and weekend getaways.
 

What i-VTEC Means for You

Honda's i-VTEC (Intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system is not marketing language — it's genuinely useful engineering. It allows the engine to prioritize fuel economy during light driving while opening up additional power when you need it for merging on the 210, climbing the Cajon Pass, or hauling a full load. Expect EPA-estimated fuel economy in the low-to-mid 20s in city driving and upper 20s on the highway — respectable numbers for an SUV in this class.
 

Honda CR-V EX-L Features and Interior

The EX-L trim is where the CR-V goes from practical to genuinely comfortable. This is Honda's leather-appointed, fully loaded configuration for this generation, and it doesn't disappoint. Buyers stepping inside will find a cabin that feels thoughtfully designed — with good headroom, generous cargo space behind the rear seats, and intuitive controls throughout.
 

Key Features Included on the EX-L Trim

The EX-L comes standard with leather-trimmed seating, a heated front seat system, a power moonroof, Honda's touchscreen interface with Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, and Honda's signature Magic Seat system in the rear — allowing the rear seats to fold completely flat for maximum cargo flexibility. Power-adjustable driver's seat, power windows, keyless entry, and cruise control round out a feature set that feels generous even by today's standards.
 

Honda CR-V Reliability and Ownership

Few compact SUVs have earned the long-term trust that the Honda CR-V has built among American drivers. The 2013 model year consistently earns high marks from owners in independent reliability surveys, and the 2.4-liter K24 engine family that powers this vehicle is widely regarded as one of the most durable four-cylinder engines ever mass-produced. It's not uncommon to see these engines running cleanly past 200,000 miles with nothing more than consistent oil changes and basic maintenance.

Ownership costs on the CR-V are among the lowest in the SUV segment. Parts are widely available, independent mechanics are deeply familiar with this platform, and Honda's dealer service network is extensive across the Inland Empire. What that means practically is lower repair bills, faster turnaround times, and fewer headaches over the life of the vehicle. First-time SUV buyers and seasoned Honda loyalists alike tend to walk away from CR-V ownership satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2013 Honda CR-V a good buy?

Yes — the 2013 CR-V is widely considered one of the best used compact SUV values available. It earns consistently high reliability scores, holds its value well, and offers a practical, comfortable interior that competes favorably with newer vehicles in its class.
 

How many miles is too many for a used Honda CR-V?

With proper maintenance history, a CR-V with 100,000–130,000 miles is not a concern. The 2.4-liter i-VTEC engine in this generation is known to reach 200,000 miles and beyond. Ask to see any available service records — a well-maintained CR-V at 107,000 miles has plenty of life ahead of it.
 

What does the CR-V EX-L trim include?

The EX-L is Honda's top-tier trim for the 2013 CR-V. It includes leather seating, heated front seats, a power moonroof, rearview camera, Bluetooth and touchscreen audio, dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable driver's seat, Honda's Magic Seat rear cargo system, and keyless entry — making it significantly better equipped than the base LX or mid-level EX trims.
 

Is front-wheel drive okay for a CR-V in Southern California?

Absolutely. For the vast majority of driving conditions in the Los Angeles basin, Inland Empire, and even occasional mountain trips to Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead, front-wheel drive is more than capable. The 2WD CR-V also delivers slightly better fuel economy compared to all-wheel drive variants, making it a smart choice for California buyers.
 

What should I check when buying a used 2013 CR-V?

Request a vehicle history report using the VIN, check for consistent oil change records, inspect the CVT — though this generation uses a traditional 5-speed automatic, which is actually a plus for long-term durability. A pre-purchase inspection at any reputable Fontana or Inland Empire mechanic is always a good idea on any used vehicle.
