Honda’s CR-V earned its popularity by being easy to live with, and this 2017 CR-V EX-L adds the comfort and technology that make the formula especially appealing. Finished in Red with a leather-trimmed cabin and 57,929 miles, this front-wheel-drive compact SUV offers excellent passenger space, flexible cargo capacity, and a manageable footprint for commuting, family schedules, and everyday driving around Wesley Chapel and New Tampa.

The 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine works with a continuously variable transmission to provide smooth, efficient power delivery. The turbo engine has the response needed for merging onto
I-75 or passing at highway speed, while the CVT keeps the drivetrain relaxed during steady cruising. Front-wheel drive keeps the mechanical layout simple and efficient, and the CR-V’s independent suspension contributes to the controlled, comfortable ride that suits longer trips across Tampa Bay.

EX-L trim gives the interior a noticeably more upscale feel. Leather seating, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a power liftgate all improve day-to-day usability. The second row provides generous legroom for adults, and the wide rear doors make it easier to load children, passengers, or bulky items. When cargo takes priority, the rear seat folds to create a large, practical load area for luggage, groceries, home-improvement supplies, or sports equipment.

Apple CarPlay compatibility places familiar phone functions on the center display, while Bluetooth®, satellite radio capability, steering-wheel audio controls, and HomeLink add convenience without making the cabin complicated. Remote start is particularly useful during hot Florida afternoons, allowing the cabin to begin cooling before departure. The power liftgate is another feature that becomes valuable quickly when hands are full.

Honda Sensing driver-assistance technology is one of the strongest reasons to consider this CR-V. Verified features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Road Departure Mitigation. A multi-angle rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, brake assist, stability control, traction control, and antilock braking add further support. On busy routes between Wesley Chapel and Tampa, these systems help reduce workload while keeping the driver informed about surrounding traffic.

The CR-V also includes alloy wheels, a power moonroof, body-color exterior trim, and the tall, efficient packaging that gives the model so much usable room relative to its exterior size. Its low cargo floor and broad hatch opening make loading easier than in many sedans, while the compact overall dimensions remain friendly in parking garages and crowded shopping centers.

Under the established automatic qualification rules, this 2017 CR-V qualifies as Ford Blue Certified. Blue Certified benefits include a 139-point inspection, a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, 24/7 Roadside Assistance, and applicable FordPass Rewards Points. It does not qualify for Ford Gold or EV certification, so only the Blue tier is applied.

Applicable Parks Plus protections add paint, headlight, and interior protective treatments, VIN etching, roadside assistance, identity-theft protection and restoration, stolen-vehicle assistance, collision loyalty credit, cabin sanitizer, and antimicrobial protectant. With leather comfort, Honda Sensing technology, strong cargo flexibility, and mileage that is modest for its model year, this CR-V EX-L is an appealing choice for commuters, small families, and anyone who wants a practical SUV for life around Wesley Chapel, Brandon, and the wider Tampa Bay area.
