2012 Honda CR-V EX for sale in NJ

Meet the 2012 Honda CR-V EX in Polished Metal Metallic — the automotive equivalent of that friend who always shows up on time, remembers your birthday, and will never judge you for oversharing grocery lists in the middle of the night. Under the hood sits the honest, hardworking 2.4L inline-4 i-VTEC engine that produces a tidy 185 horsepower and 163 ft-lbs of torque. It’s mated to Honda’s famously smooth five-speed automatic transmission (FWD is standard; AWD was available from the factory), giving you calm, confident acceleration for city traffic, highway cruising, and the occasional slightly overambitious roundabout maneuver.

This CR-V is not just reliable — it’s economical. With EPA-rated fuel economy of 22 MPG city and 30 MPG highway, this SUV sips rather than guzzles. The odometer reads under 108,000 miles, averaging less than 8,000 miles per year — which means this one has been gently used, not schlepped across the country like some overzealous road-trip guru. Excellent overall condition inside and out, the exterior’s Polished Metal Metallic paint still catches sunlight in a way that says “sensible and sophisticated,” while the Gray interior is both practical (hides the coffee stains of life) and welcoming.

Now for the part where the CR-V shows it’s more than just a pretty face and a frugal appetite — the factory default features. The EX trim is the sweet spot for buyers who want smart upgrades without buying a spaceship:

- Comfort and convenience:
- One-touch power moonroof: pop it open, feel the breeze, and pretend you’re in a travel montage.
- Power windows and power door locks
- Tilt-and-telescoping steering column for dialing in your driving position with surgically precise comfort.
- Cruise control for highway zen and a foot that occasionally prefers to relax.
- Dual-zone automatic climate control? The EX gives you attentive HVAC with easy controls so everyone in the car can stop arguing about the temperature (or at least delay the argument).

- Audio and connectivity:
- Honda’s factory audio system with AM/FM/CD and AUX input, plus USB and iPod integration — perfect for playlists, podcasts, or that one album you still pretend not to love.
- Bluetooth HandsFreeLink for safe, wireless phone calls so you can sound like you’re an influencer while actually just calling to ask where to pick up more snacks.
- Steering-wheel mounted audio and cruise controls keep your hands where they belong—on the wheel, unless you’re the type who uses interpretive driving gestures.

- Practicality and interior utility:
- Spacious cabin with supportive seating and a clever 60/40 split rear seat that folds to create a generous cargo area. Grocery runs? Easy. IKEA missions? Possible. Impromptu life changes? Accommodated.
- Low liftover height and well-thought cargo floor make loading luggage, strollers, and the occasional large “what-was-I-thinking” purchase a breeze.
- Multiple storage cubbies, cupholders that actually hold your cup, and tie-down anchors in the cargo area for the things that prefer not to slide around.

- Safety and reliability:
- Honda’s suite of safety features: ABS with electronic brake distribution, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, and a comprehensive airbag system including front, side, and full-length side curtain airbags. In other words, it’s serious about keeping you safe while still allowing a lighthearted playlist.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and LATCH anchors for child seats — responsible parenting mode: engaged.
- Built on Honda’s reputation for long-term durability and low cost of ownership — this CR-V has the pedigree of a vehicle that will outlast many fads and questionable fashion choices.

- Exterior features:
- 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rails (EX trim bonuses) that add both style and utility — because sometimes you need to carry bikes, kayaks, or the occ
