Honda released four different versions of the compact crossover, those are LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. In terms of its engine, all the 2017 Honda CR-V comes with a brand new 1.5- liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but except for the CR-V LX model, which packs a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter engine.

Total cargo if the new CR-V is up to 75.8 cubic feet, an increase from 70.9 in the 2016 model. That beats the pants off the existing Mazda CX-5 and just edges out the Toyota RAV4.

The Honda CR-V's lane-keeping technology does a fairly good job too, it keeps the vehicle centered. Both technologies are standard on all but except again from the LX model.
2017 Honda CR-V Review: Mixing Classic Design At Its Finest
According to Jalopnik, Honda is really going at it full swing with its cybernetic, almost transformer-like design language on its 2017 CR-V. But unlike the Honda Civic, the CR-V’s mash-up of straight edges, blocky proportions as well as the overabundance of chrome actually add up to make it a much more coherent vehicle than the one it replaces.
There are fancy LED headlights up front and the classic upward tail lights that have been a CR-V design trait ever since its inception remain. It is bigger compared to other Honda sedan models, but it doesn’t seem that bigger on your first look. That’s because Honda has intentionally loaded the 2017 CR-V’s styling with intersecting lines that deceive the human eye into believing it is smaller than it actually is.
