You can check if your Honda CR-V is an EX or LX by looking at the VIN plate located on the driver's side of the dashboard. The eighth digit in the VIN indicates the vehicle grade. The LX is the standard model, which usually comes with cloth interior, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, and steel wheels. On the other hand, the EX model typically includes a moonroof and alloy wheels as upgrades. The base CR-V LX is equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower, while the CR-V EX features a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower.

    I own a 2006 SE model that comes with a sunroof, heated leather seats, and running boards. I was under the impression that it was an LX.

    There's a label on the driver's side door that shows the car's brand, type, production year, and paint color.

    Not everything in that statement is accurate. According to the details provided, my car would be considered an LX model, even though it actually has additional features like a moonroof, cameras, and variable speed wipers. Additionally, my car is powered by a 2.4-liter engine.
