2015 Honda CR-V Offers Up Just Four Trims, from Standard LX to Upscale Touring

Dec 16, 2021

The 2015 Honda CR-V simplifies the car-buying search by streamlining trim offerings. The base LX provides loads of room for kids and cargo without skimping on comfort. The EX and higher trims offer climate control and lane watch assist, but you won’t find Apple/Android app compatibility on its infotainment center.

Key Points

The 2015 Honda CR-V offers four distinct trim levels without any packages to confuse the pricing: LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring, all available with an either FWD or AWD drivetrain.
The CR-Vs base LX trim comes standard with Bluetooth and cloth seats, while the Touring, introduced in 2015, gives you the widest array of convenience and safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist.
The EX improves upon the LX with alloy wheels, a power driver’s seat, and keyless entry and start. The EX-L adds leather to seating surfaces and brings climate control, HondaLink navigation, and a kickin’ sound system.
Ultimately, the Touring comes out ahead for offering the most value and is the only trim to feature the Honda Sensing suite of autonomous safety features, including collision mitigation braking.

2015 CR-V LX Delivers Comfort and Capability with Split-folding Rear Seats and a Multi-angle Backup Camera

The entry-level 2015 Honda CR-V LX comes decently equipped starting with its 185-horsepower 2.4L engine and continuously variable transmission. Any of the trims could be built with front or all-wheel drive. Two rows of cloth seats give you room for up to five with 35.5 cu. ft. of space leftover for sports gear and shopping bags. Daytime running lamps, power side mirrors, and a tire pressure monitoring system provide an upscale drive. The rearview monitor uses a multi-angle camera with guidelines to help you see where the SUV is going. Inside, you have a USB port, a Bluetooth connection for hands-free calling, and a split-folding back seat. The LX and EX come with gray, beige, or black premium cloth seats and matching interior accents.

Enjoy Extra Amenities in the 2015 Honda CR-V EX, Including Fog Lamps, Blind-spot Assist, and a Moonroof

The EX represents a collection of upgrades that are most popular with daily drivers. Your ride sports a set of 17-inch alloy wheels, a power moonroof, and fog lamps. Honda LaneWatch keeps an eye on your blindspot and displays a live image of the car traveling on your outside corner when you hit the turn signal.

The power driver’s seat comes with heat and a seven-inch touchscreen gives you access to audio and SMS messaging apps. A smart key unlocks the door and primes the ignition without leaving your pocket.

EX-L Trim Makes for Comfortable Weekend Road Trips Courtesy of Climate Control, Roof Rails, and Seven-speaker Sound System

While the L in the 2015 Honda CR-V EX-L refers to leather trim on the seats and steering wheel, it also brings a decent array of other premium features. The roof rails help you load up luggage, bikes, or boats when heading out on vacation. Set the temperature on the automatic climate control and never fiddle with the A/C again. The 328-watt seven-speaker sound system cranks out the tunes available on your HD or SiriusXM satellite radio. Satellite-based navigation requires a subscription to receive updates but does help you find new locations without excess stress.

2015 CR-V Touring Trim Lets You Steer Clear of Trouble with Lane Departure Warning and Projector-type Headlights

Experience a touch of luxury when you opt for the 2015 Honda CR-V Touring. The SUV includes all the perks found on the EX-L and adds a suite of smart safety features. Collision mitigation hits the brakes for you if it detects an impending accident. Adaptive cruise control adjusts its speed as traffic around you slows down for the morning commute.

Lane-keep assist watches the dotted line and nudges your steering to put you back on track if you start to wander. Other premium upgrades include a sweet set of 18-inch alloy wheels and projector-type automatic headlights. Driver memory stores positions for two different operators. Hit a button on your remote and the power tailgate opens without your assistance. The HomeLink transceiver opens your garage door when you arrive at your house.

Every 2015 Honda CR-V Trim Gives Good Value, but Only the Touring Brings Smart Safety Features

If you are searching for a comfortable and versatile mid-size SUV with just enough features to tackle daily errands, the 2015 Honda CR-V LX gives you good value. The EX brings a blend of the most popular perks without going overboard. If you are searching for a more luxurious ride equipped with autonomous safety upgrades, choose the Touring. Just remember that no matter which one you select, it will not support your Apple and Android apps even though it does come with Bluetooth technology.

15 Honda CR-V ex-l review.

I really enjoy my vehicle because it has a sunroof and it also provides assistance with shifting into the right lane. As it has a camera that allows you to view your blind spot without having to force your head around and attempt to check the blind spot yourself. When you walk up to the car, you do not have to use the key to unlock the door. Just as long as the car is within range of the key, you can just pull the handle twice and the door will unlock itself. The car also comes equipped with a rear view camera that has about three new ranges and you can choose each one to view the surrounding areas. The trunk of the vehicle also has a covering that you can use for the trunk. When you go shopping and you intend of making a stop or more before going home, you can keep what you've bought hidden that way people do not feel inclined to break into your vehicle.

Honda CR-V EX 2015 review. Affordable and reliable.

The 2015 Honda CR-V is reliable, sleek, and comfortable. The price is affordable for a compact SUV and is great for families as it offers adequate space for several passengers and cargo. I went on several long road trips each year since I have gotten the car, and have never encountered any major issues that weren't normal for the age of the car (such as losing tire pressure). Living in Minnesota, it has gotten my family from all our home to the east coast twice, and three trips out west going as far as Nevada and Utah. It has a nice display for radio and Bluetooth pairing, and the digital display screen can be changed to one of four types that you find the most useful. The sound system is adequate enough, and the settings can be customized to allow for more bass or treble as well as some other options. All in all, it is a rather nice and reliable car.

2015 Honda CR-V EX-Lsummary

I have a 2015 Honda CR-V ex-l and I have been driving it for over four years without any issues and I absolutely love this vehicle. It is great on gas mileage, the seats heat up quickly (way more than leather seats in my opinion) which is great for colder climates and the all wheel drive is super reliable in the snow and rain! It also has ample room in the trunk to store all of your grocery and I like the cover that conceals your belongings from passersby for protection. Handling is easy and the side-view camera and the back-up camera make it very practical and safe to drive. I love the automatic headlights and the media display as well.

Beautiful red 2015 Honda CR-V EX!

The Honda CR-V is, first of all, a sharp looking car. There is plenty of room to seat 4 passengers comfortably. The hatch back allows for easy access storage and transportation of goods. The back seats easily fold down to allow cargo of different sizes including good sized furniture pieces. We are used to the Honda dashboard and have owned quite a number of Accords and Civics. This is our first CR-V and both my husband and I love sitting up higher than the other 2 models. It sits higher enough to afford greater visibility while navigating, but it's not so high that it's hard to get in and out of.

Best starter family vehicle around! 2015 CR-V EX

The Honda CR-V has been the perfect car for our starter family. We have a large golden retriever and baby so when we travel we have to take our entire house with us - we all fit! Dog, baby, pack and play, two weeks worth of clothes, toys and food! We love the extremely high safety ratings. The fit and finish on our Honda is great, no it's not the top of the line; however we get some great standard options with the touch screen infotainment and Bluetooth capability, power windows and both front seats. The road noise is low compared to other small SUVs in its class.

Love my 2015 CR-V LX and the Bluetooth!

I have really enjoyed my CR-V. It's roomy and comfortable in the front and back seats. A large trunk area can hold everything from a picnic blanket, to a large dog crate, or even boxes of teaching supplies. It has been fairly reliable for me since I've had it. One feature I was excited about going in was Bluetooth. I love that my phone automatically connects and I can play my own music or talk on the phone. My only difficulty was Figuring out the buttons on the steering wheel for phone calls, but now I've got it figured out and it is so easy!

Pick 2015 Honda CR-V LX for yourself.

The car is really comfortable. The heater works perfectly if it is cold outside. Also it is a perfect size not small nor big. Break and gas work perfect. You feel connected right away. It is really reliable transportation. Even my dad loves it, and says it is a perfect car. Also Does not make noise when I drive. Another good thing is that it has back camera and it has Bluetooth. You can listen and enjoy your music while you are driving somewhere. Also it is a good car to drive people in.

2015 Honda CR-V LX is definitely lovable

I have seen no problems with this vehicle at all. It runs very smoothly, the interior is nice, there is a large console in between the driver and passenger seat for storage, and the back is quite roomy. The trunk is large enough for 5 suitcases and 5 bags all together! It's super comfortable and definitely a lovable car. The engine runs great, tires are smooth, and it has never failed me.

2015 CR-V Touring is a dream, my next car will definitely be a CR-V.

This car makes my hour and a half long commute enjoyable. The radio system syncs easily with your Bluetooth audio, on your phone. The USB ports in the center console keeps you charged and stress-free. It drives very well in all weather conditions. The gas mileage is very good and although it is a bigger car, I spend way less on gas than my friends and family do in their smaller cars.

Jimmi M on June 16, 2021

Sporty touring package is a must!

My current 2015 CR-V is the second CR-V that I have owned. We chose to buy another one because the first one was so reliable and this one is just as reliable and even more comfortable. My CR-V is super stylish looking. The touring edition that I chose has very nice sporty rims on it that definitely set it apart from other SUVs.

2015 Honda CR-V EX-L the gem of the road.

This is the 8th CR-V I have owned and is the most reliable vehicle. It retains its value and when driving it you do not get fatigued like many low riding vehicles. It is like sitting at your desk. Winter snow driving is with ease and handles perfectly in many driving conditions. Gas mileage is superb.

2015 CR-V EX: good for city driving.

I have had the CR-V for five years now and there have not been any substantial issues with performance. The interior is stylish yet efficient. The trunk space is adequate and the size is ideal for owning a car in a city without compromising on size, space, or passenger capacity.

Overall a Good Vehicle for the Price - 2015 CR-V Touring

The 2015 CR-V is reliable but only has a 4-cylinder engine. The touring edition comes with the navigation unit, heat front seats, moonroof, lane departure warning system, and smart cruise-control. This model also has the push button start and push button tailgate lift.

2015 Honda CR-V EX-L: SUV that rides like a sedan.

I have had no problems with my car since I bought it used 3 years ago. Love how it rides and it is the perfect size SUV for me. It moves quickly like a sedan but had the room and feel of a SUV. The interior looks great and the leather seats have held up nicely.
