As was the case for 2006, the CR-V LX is designed for the budget-conscious buyer with its low $20,000s starting price and standard features like a five-speed automatic transmission that pushes power to either the front or all four 17-inch steel wheels; keyless entry; power mirrors, windows, and door locks; air conditioning; a tilt and telescoping steering wheel; a CD player and MP3/iPod auxiliary jack; a trip computer; an overhead conversation mirror to keep an eye on rear passengers; and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. Safety equipment runs the gamut from front side-impact and side-curtain airbags, traction and stability control systems, and a tire pressure monitor, to front active headrests.
