Is It Right for You?
Great choice if you want a reliable compact SUV with AWD, solid fuel economy, and Hondas proven safety featuresall at a reasonable starting price.
But if you value rear-seat USB ports, blind-spot monitoring, wireless connectivity, or richer infotainment, stepping up to the EX or EXL AWD trims may be worth it.
Some owners prefer higher trims for comfort and additional tech. LX is practical and efficient, but minimalistic.
