The 2027 Honda CR-V is on dealer lots now with confirmed pricing directly from Honda’s own build-and-price configurator, and buyers who come in with real invoice data and competing dealer quotes consistently pay less than those who don’t. Honda’s official starting MSRP is $31,520 before the $1,395 destination charge for the gas LX, spanning seven trim levels to $42,950 for the Sport Touring Hybrid. KBB listings confirm a Sport Touring Hybrid at $40,758 against a $43,700 MSRP saving $2,942, a TrailSport Hybrid at $38,827 against $40,195 saving $1,368, and an EX-L at $37,718 against $38,295 saving $577 on current dealer inventory. Autoblog’s full 2027 CR-V review recommends the Sport-L Hybrid as the best overall configuration and calls the EX-L the high-value gas buy. The 2027 CR-V is a carryover of the well-reviewed 2026 lineup. Honda handled its substantive updates in the 2026 mid-cycle refresh, meaning established transaction data and negotiating patterns apply directly now.

Honda’s own configurator confirms all seven 2027 CR-V prices before the $1,395 destination charge: LX at $31,520, EX at $33,550, EX-L at $35,800, Sport Hybrid at $36,030, Sport-L Hybrid at $39,125, TrailSport Hybrid at $39,200, and Sport Touring Hybrid at $42,950. The three gas trims (LX, EX, EX-L) use a 190-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a CVT. The four hybrid trims (Sport, Sport-L, TrailSport, Sport Touring) use a 204-horsepower two-motor hybrid with AWD standard on all four. Fuel economy on the hybrid trims runs 43 city and 36 highway on most configurations, rising to 40 city and 34 highway on the Sport Touring. The CR-V competes against the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX-5. Our Insider Access to Dealer Pricing tool puts real competing local dealer quotes in front of you before you ever step onto any lot.
The invoice price is what a Honda dealer paid American Honda Motor Company for the vehicle on their lot, sitting below the MSRP by a margin the dealer has no reason to share. On the 2027 CR-V, the gap between MSRP and dealer invoice typically runs approximately $900 to $1,600 depending on trim, with the wider dollar spread on Sport-L Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid given their higher price points. The invoice figure is your negotiating anchor, not the window sticker.
Honda’s dealer holdback adds roughly 2 to 3 percent of base MSRP back to the dealer after each vehicle sells, which on a $42,950 Sport Touring Hybrid represents approximately $859 to $1,288 in additional margin beneath the invoice figure. KBB listings confirm real movement below sticker across the lineup: a Sport Touring Hybrid at $40,758 against $43,700 MSRP saves $2,942, a TrailSport Hybrid at $38,827 against $40,195 saves $1,368, and an EX-L at $37,718 against $38,295 saves $577. The $2,942 Sport Touring Hybrid discount is the largest single-listing discount confirmed on any 2027 CR-V in this guide and directly reflects the kind of dealer motivation that competing quotes consistently surface.
Road Ethos confirms the 2027 CR-V is a direct carryover of the 2026 lineup with only minor refinements, since Honda handled the substantive work in the 2026 mid-cycle refresh that added the TrailSport Hybrid trim, expanded standard safety content, and upgraded the infotainment system. For buyers, a carryover year means two things. First, the 2026 and 2027 CR-Vs are effectively the same vehicle, so well-discounted 2026 units at dealers deserve genuine consideration alongside the 2027 at full sticker. Second, the 2026’s established discount pattern applies directly to 2027 negotiations. There is no pricing-discovery period for a genuinely new model.
Autoblog’s review identifies two specific CR-V limitations buyers should know before visiting a dealer. First, the infotainment screen is smaller than the class average, a notable caveat when competitors like the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson offer larger displays. Second, cabin plastics on lower trim levels include some iffy hard surfaces that feel inconsistent with the CR-V’s price point. Both limitations are most pronounced on the LX and EX gas trims; the EX-L and hybrid trims step up to a noticeably more refined interior presentation. For buyers who specifically prioritize a large, modern touchscreen, cross-shopping the Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson before deciding is worth the time. For buyers who prioritize cargo space, fuel economy, reliability reputation, and resale value, areas where the CR-V consistently leads the class, these limitations matter less than the CR-V’s strengths.
Autoblog is direct: stretch for the hybrid if you can, because it is noticeably swifter and a lot lighter on gas. The hybrid’s 204-horsepower two-motor system versus the gas engine’s 190 horsepower is a real-world performance difference, and the 43/36 MPG hybrid rating versus the gas engine’s 27/31 MPG FWD is a significant efficiency gap. At 15,000 annual miles and $3.50 per gallon, a hybrid CR-V owner spends approximately $1,220 per year on fuel versus approximately $2,020 for the gas FWD version, a difference of $800 per year that accumulates significantly over a typical five-year ownership period.
The gas trims’ specific advantage is lower purchase price, FWD availability on the LX and EX for buyers who don’t need AWD, and a slightly larger cargo area at 39.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats versus the hybrid’s 36.3 cubic feet due to battery packaging. For buyers who cover lower annual mileage where hybrid payback takes longer, or who specifically need the cargo-floor space, the gas EX-L at $35,800 before destination is Autoblog’s recommended choice in the gas lineup.
Autoblog recommends the EX-L as the high-value gas buy and the Sport-L Hybrid as the best overall CR-V.
LX ($31,520 before destination / approximately $32,915 with destination)
The entry LX delivers Honda Sensing standard with collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation, blind-spot monitor, and rear cross-traffic monitor. A 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, and 17-inch alloy wheels round out the standard equipment. FWD is standard with AWD available as an option. For buyers who want the CR-V’s reliability reputation and Honda Sensing safety technology at the lowest possible price, the LX is the entry point.
EX ($33,550 before destination)
The EX adds a one-touch power moonroof, heated front seats, smart entry with walk-away auto lock, dual-zone automatic climate control, and 18-inch alloy wheels over the LX. AWD remains optional. This is the trim where the CR-V’s daily comfort becomes genuinely complete for most buyers.
EX-L ($35,800 before destination, Autoblog’s recommended gas trim)
Autoblog specifically identifies the EX-L as the high-value gas buy, adding leather-trimmed interior, a power tailgate, parking sensors, an automatic-dimming rearview mirror, and power front seats over the EX. A KBB listing confirms an EX-L at $37,718 against $38,295 MSRP ($577 off) on current inventory. For buyers who want the most complete gas CR-V without paying hybrid prices, the EX-L is the confirmed sweet spot.
Sport Hybrid ($36,030 before destination)
The entry hybrid CR-V delivers the 204-horsepower two-motor hybrid system with AWD standard, 18-inch gloss-black wheels, roof rails, and Honda’s sport styling. At only $230 more than the gas EX-L, the Sport Hybrid is the most compelling value argument in the lineup: essentially the same price as a well-equipped gas trim, but with the hybrid’s 43/36 MPG efficiency and AWD standard. For buyers who are on the fence between gas and hybrid, the Sport Hybrid’s minimal premium over the EX-L makes the hybrid the easy choice.
Sport-L Hybrid ($39,125 before destination, Autoblog’s best overall recommendation)
Autoblog recommends the Sport-L Hybrid as the best overall CR-V, adding leather-trimmed interior, dual chrome exhaust finishers, and upgraded interior content over the Sport Hybrid while keeping the hybrid powertrain and standard AWD. This is the trim where the hybrid’s efficiency advantage combines with the EX-L’s refined interior presentation in a single configuration. For buyers who want the CR-V at its most complete and are willing to pay for it, the Sport-L Hybrid is the editorial consensus recommendation.
TrailSport Hybrid ($39,200 before destination)
The TrailSport Hybrid adds all-terrain tires, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, TrailSport-specific exterior styling, and off-road-tuned AWD over the Sport Hybrid. A KBB listing confirms a TrailSport at $38,827 against $40,195 MSRP ($1,368 off) on current inventory. At only $75 more than the Sport-L, the TrailSport is the choice for buyers who want adventure capability and outdoor aesthetic over the Sport-L’s polished interior. Both are within $75 of each other, making the choice a pure lifestyle question.
Sport Touring Hybrid ($42,950 before destination, top trim)
The Sport Touring Hybrid tops the lineup with a Bose premium sound system, a hands-free access power tailgate, Google built-in navigation, and the most complete technology suite available in the CR-V. A KBB listing confirms a Sport Touring at $40,758 against $43,700 MSRP saving $2,942, the largest documented discount in this guide on any CR-V configuration. For buyers who want the most complete CR-V available with every available technology feature, the Sport Touring Hybrid delivers it. The $2,942 KBB listing suggests motivated dealers are moving this top trim aggressively.
Manufacturer incentives on the CR-V stack on top of any negotiated price reduction below MSRP, and Honda Financial Services regularly offers promotional lease and APR financing for well-qualified buyers. Honda maintains military appreciation pricing for active duty and veteran buyers, college graduate pricing for recent graduates, and first responder discounts. The CR-V carries Honda’s standard 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, with the hybrid battery covered under an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. The CR-V’s record as a seven-time Car and Driver 10Best winner and its strong resale value consistently contribute to lower total ownership cost compared to many competitors in this class. Getting a competitive local dealer quote through our Insider Access to Dealer Pricing tool gives you the most accurate picture of your real out-the-door cost before committing to anything.
Based on KBB listings confirming $577 to $2,942 below sticker across multiple configurations on current inventory, here is what a strong negotiated outcome looks like. On the LX at $32,915 with destination, targeting $31,500 to $32,500 is achievable with competing quotes. On the EX, targeting $33,200 to $34,500 with destination is realistic. On the EX-L at approximately $37,195 with destination, targeting $36,000 to $37,200 is achievable, consistent with the KBB listing confirming $37,718 before additional negotiation. On the Sport Hybrid at approximately $37,425 with destination, targeting $36,000 to $37,200 reflects what prepared buyers are achieving. On the Sport-L Hybrid at approximately $40,520 with destination, targeting $38,500 to $40,000 is achievable. On the TrailSport Hybrid at approximately $40,595, targeting $38,500 to $40,000 reflects the discount pattern, consistent with the KBB listing at $38,827 before additional negotiation. On the Sport Touring Hybrid at approximately $44,345 with destination, targeting $40,500 to $42,500 reflects what the KBB listing at $40,758 confirms is achievable before any additional negotiation.
These benchmarks assume you have decided between gas and hybrid powertrains before comparing trim prices, confirmed FWD or AWD preference on the LX and EX gas trims where both are available, gathered competing quotes from multiple local Honda dealers, and kept the trade-in conversation completely separate from the new vehicle price negotiation.
