We recently purchased a 2022 Honda CR-V EX-L Hybrid and had parking sensors installed as one of the options.
All the information online from Honda and other sources indicates that only the Hybrid Touring trim level gets front and rear parking sensors equipped as standard, but that the parking sensors are available as an option on other trim levels.
The 2021 and 2022 Owner’s manuals show eight sensors, four corners, two each front and rear bumpers (page 561). No other descriptions of the system are available from the Honda on-line sites. Not wanting some of the other features in the Touring trim level, we assumed the parking sensors option we paid for would include the front and rear sensors as advertised. Unfortunately, we’ve found that only the Hybrid Touring trim has the two front sensors.
I see comments in this thread saying that parking slots “in the US” are large and don’t but up to blind walls. I’m happy for your situation but I live in the US in an inner-city environment and most of my parking, including at home, is into solid walls. The CRV does not have a clear sightline to the front bumper like the Honda Element we traded in; I don’t care about the rear sensors at all, the car comes with a rear facing camera, the only reason I paid over $1,300 extra for this feature was for the front sensors. I am disgusted by this bait and switch from a company I used to trust.
