NWI Auto Credit has this sharp silver AWD CR-V in stock and ready for a test drive — a well-equipped, turbocharged compact SUV that continues to earn its reputation as one of the most dependable crossovers on the road today. Whether you need a family hauler, a daily commuter, or a versatile all-weather vehicle for northwest Indiana winters, this CR-V checks every box.

About This 2017 Honda CR-V EX-L

At 93,428 miles, this CR-V sits right in the sweet spot for a used vehicle purchase. Honda's fifth-generation CR-V was completely redesigned for 2017, and the platform was built to last well into the 150,000-to-200,000-mile range with routine maintenance. The EX-L is the upper-mid trim in the CR-V lineup, meaning this isn't a base model — it came loaded from the factory with genuine Honda leather seating, a power moonroof, and a full suite of technology and safety features. The silver exterior presents a clean, classic look that holds up well over time and is easy to keep looking sharp.

2017 Honda CR-V Performance and Engine

Turbocharged Efficiency Meets Everyday Practicality

Under the hood sits Honda's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which was a major highlight of the 2017 redesign. Paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), this powertrain delivers a smooth, responsive driving experience while returning impressive fuel economy for an all-wheel-drive SUV. The AWD system adds genuine confidence on wet roads, snow-covered highways, and the kind of unpredictable Great Lakes weather that northwest Indiana drivers deal with from November through March. The CVT keeps the engine in its optimal power band during acceleration, making highway merging and city stop-and-go feel effortless.

Honda CR-V EX-L Features and Interior

Premium Comfort in a Practical Package

The EX-L trim elevates the CR-V experience significantly over base models. Expect leather-trimmed seating surfaces, a heated front row, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a power moonroof that makes the cabin feel open and airy. Honda's Display Audio touchscreen system is onboard, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, giving you seamless smartphone integration whether you're commuting to Chicago or road-tripping through Indiana. The CR-V's interior is genuinely spacious — rear-seat passengers have noticeably more legroom than most compact SUV rivals, and the cargo area is flexible and deep. If you regularly carry gear, groceries, or kids, the rear seat folds flat to create serious hauling capacity.

Honda CR-V Reliability and Ownership

One of the Most Trusted Names in the Segment

The Honda CR-V has been one of the top-selling vehicles in the United States for decades, and for good reason. The 2017 model year marked the launch of a stronger, more refined generation that quickly earned praise from automotive journalists and owners alike. Honda engines are widely regarded for their longevity, and the 1.5-liter turbo in this generation CR-V — while new at the time — has now accumulated years of real-world data showing it holds up well with proper oil change intervals. Owners consistently report low maintenance costs outside of routine service, and the CR-V benefits from widely available parts and an enormous network of qualified technicians throughout the region. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports have both rated this generation CR-V highly for overall dependability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2017 Honda CR-V a good buy?

Yes — the 2017 CR-V is widely considered one of the best compact SUVs available in the used market. The fifth-generation redesign brought a more powerful turbocharged engine, a significantly improved interior, and Honda Sensing safety technology across higher trims. It holds its value well and has strong long-term reliability data behind it.

How many miles is too many for a 2017 Honda CR-V?

Honda CR-Vs routinely reach 200,000 miles or more with regular maintenance. At 93,428 miles, this vehicle has plenty of life left and is well within the range where a buyer can expect many years of dependable service. The key is verifying service history and keeping up with oil changes and scheduled maintenance going forward.

What does the CR-V EX-L trim include?

The EX-L trim adds leather seating, heated front seats, a power moonroof, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and Honda's Display Audio system with smartphone integration. It sits above the EX trim and brings a genuinely premium feel to the interior without jumping to the top-tier Touring price point.

Is AWD worth it on a used Honda CR-V?

For drivers in northwest Indiana and the greater Chicagoland area, AWD on a CR-V is a significant advantage. Lake County winters bring snow, ice, and slush that can catch two-wheel-drive vehicles off guard. Honda's AWD system proactively distributes torque between the front and rear axles, giving you noticeably better traction and stability in adverse conditions.

Does the 2017 CR-V have Honda Sensing?

Honda Sensing — which includes collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control — is available on the 2017 CR-V. Feature availability can vary by trim and original configuration, so confirm the specific equipment on this vehicle with the NWI Auto Credit team during your visit.
