Vehicle History and Generation Background
The 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L belongs to the third generation of this popular compact SUV, produced from 2007 to 2011. Launched in late 2006 as a 2007 model, this generation marked a significant evolution for the CR-V, introducing a sleeker, more modern design with a lower stance, improved interior space, and enhanced technology. Assembled in Japan, the U.S., and other global plants, the third-gen CR-V is built on the success of its predecessors by offering better handling, a quieter cabin, and a more car-like driving experience, while retaining its reputation for reliability. It quickly became one of the best-selling compact SUVs, with sales surpassing 200,000 units annually in the U.S. by 2008. This 2007 model, as the inaugural year of the third generation and in the top EX-L trim, exemplifies the generation’s blend of practicality, durability, and upscale appeal, making it a sought-after choice.
Performance, Fuel Economy, and Torque Ratings
The 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 2WD is powered by a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine with Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), producing 166 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 161 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, it offers smooth and responsive performance, achieving a 0-60 mph time of around 9.5 seconds—adequate for its class. Fuel economy is a highlight, rated at 23 MPG city and 30 MPG highway, with a combined 26 MPG, making it one of the most efficient compact SUVs of its era. The front-wheel-drive configuration enhances its efficiency, while the CR-V can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped, suitable for light loads like small trailers or bikes. These figures showcase its balance of efficiency and versatility, ideal for urban commuters or small families needing a practical daily driver.
NHTSA Safety Ratings
Safety is a key strength of the 2007 Honda CR-V, as reflected in its National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ratings for the 2WD model:
-
Frontal Crash (Driver): ★★★★★
-
Frontal Crash (Passenger): ★★★★★
-
Side Crash (Front Occupants): ★★★★★
-
Side Crash (Rear Occupants): ★★★★★
-
Rollover: ★★★★☆
Equipped with front, side, and side curtain airbags for all rows, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, the CR-V earns top marks in frontal and side crash tests. The 4-star rollover rating is solid for a compact SUV of this era, providing confidence for everyday driving. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) also named the 2007 CR-V a Top Safety Pick, further affirming its safety credentials. These ratings make it a safe choice for families or solo drivers.

Standout Features and Performance Comparison
The 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 2WD, as the top trim, offers a suite of premium features that elevate its appeal. The gray leather interior is both luxurious and durable, paired with the Glacier Blue Metallic exterior for a sophisticated look. Key features include heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, a power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 6-disc in-dash CD changer with seven speakers (including a subwoofer), and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. The 60/40 split-folding rear seat expands cargo space from 35.7 to 72.9 cubic feet, and a rear cargo shelf adds versatility. Compared to competitors like the Toyota RAV4 (166 hp, optional V6 at 269 hp) and Mazda CX-7 (244 hp), the CR-V’s 166 hp prioritizes efficiency and reliability over power, offering a smoother, quieter ride than the CX-7 and better long-term dependability than the RAV4, though it lacks the RAV4’s V6 option. Its car-like handling and refined cabin make it a top contender in the compact SUV category, focusing on comfort and practicality over sportiness.
Popularity of the 2.4L VTEC Engine and 3rd Gen CR-V
The 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L benefits from the 2.4L 4-cylinder VTEC engine (K24A1), a proven powertrain known for its durability and efficiency. A key advantage is its metal timing chain, which never needs replacement, unlike a rubber timing belt that requires servicing every 90,000–100,000 miles (a $500–$800 job). This maintenance-free timing chain, combined with the engine’s robust design, enhances long-term ownership value, as owners frequently report reaching 200,000–300,000 miles with minimal issues. The third-gen CR-V, particularly the EX-L trim, gained widespread popularity for its blend of reliability, modern styling, and upscale features, with the EX-L offering leather, a premium audio system, and advanced safety tech at the top of the lineup. The CR-V’s reputation for durability is well-documented, with many owners praising its low maintenance costs and ability to handle diverse driving conditions, making it a favorite among compact SUV buyers seeking a dependable, long-lasting vehicle.
Why This CR-V Stands Out
This 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 2WD is a rare find with its two-owner history, 10 service records, and clean CA title, reflecting careful ownership. The low 130,000 miles suggest it’s just hitting its stride for a Honda known to last well beyond 200,000 miles, and the Glacier Blue Metallic finish with gray leather interior offers a luxurious, low-maintenance package. The 2.4L VTEC engine with a metal timing chain ensures reliability with minimal upkeep, a significant advantage in its class. As the top EX-L trim in the third generation’s debut year, it combines upscale features with the CR-V’s renowned durability, making it a standout in the used compact SUV market. Its efficiency, safety, and practicality make it ideal for families or commuters seeking a dependable, long-lasting vehicle.
For a prospective buyer craving a compact SUV with reliability, luxury, and a well-documented history, this 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 2WD is a perfect match. Its two-owner pedigree, low mileage, and top safety ratings make it a trustworthy companion, while the EX-L trim’s premium features elevate its appeal. Whether you’re drawn to its fuel-sipping 2.4L engine, spacious interior, or the third generation’s modern design, this CR-V delivers. It’s a testament to the CR-V’s popularity—reliable, practical, and built to last. Take it for a spin to see why the 2007 CR-V remains a beloved choice nearly two decades later, ready to serve its next owner with the same dependability it’s always offered.
