2016 Honda CR-V EX

Some SUVs are built to chase trends. The 2016 Honda CR-V EX AWD became one of the best-selling compact SUVs in America by doing something far more difficult: getting nearly everything right. Comfortable without feeling oversized, efficient without feeling stripped down, and refined enough that many buyers cross-shopped it against vehicles costing thousands more, the CR-V earned its reputation the old-fashioned way — through everyday excellence.

Finished in black, this CR-V EX carries a clean, upscale look that fits the design perfectly. Honda gave this generation sharper body lines, a more premium front fascia, and one of the most spacious interiors in its class. Inside, the cabin feels intelligently designed from every angle, with supportive seating, excellent outward visibility, and the kind of practicality that made families, commuters, and weekend travelers gravitate toward the CR-V year after year.

Under the hood is Honda’s proven 2.4L i-VTEC engine paired with an automatic transmission and Real Time All-Wheel Drive. The result is smooth power delivery, confident wet-weather traction, and fuel economy that helped the CR-V stand out against bulkier midsize SUVs. Whether navigating Sacramento traffic, heading toward Tahoe, or simply handling daily errands, this CR-V feels composed and easy to live with.

The EX trim is where the CR-V really hits its sweet spot. Features include a power moonroof, alloy wheels, push-button start, smart entry, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, backup camera, Bluetooth connectivity, touchscreen display, and Honda’s LaneWatch blind spot camera system — a feature that was ahead of its time and still incredibly useful today.

The 2016 CR-V also received praise from Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, and U.S. News for its combination of safety, resale value, interior space, and long-term ownership satisfaction. It became one of those rare vehicles people buy once and then specifically seek out again years later because of how well it fits real life.

If you’ve been searching for an all-wheel-drive SUV that delivers comfort, practicality, modern features, and Honda’s long-standing reputation for quality, this black 2016 Honda CR-V EX deserves a serious look. It offers the versatility of a larger SUV without the parking-lot headaches or fuel costs that usually come with one.
