Introduction
The Honda CR-V is an award-winning, well-equipped compact SUV. Designed to meet buyers at the intersection of efficiency, convenience, and reliability, the CR-V became the benchmark for compact crossovers.
After its launch as a 1997 model, Honda delivered what would become a class mainstay for decades. Buyers loved the combination of gentle pricing and abundant features in the CR-V. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), generous rear space, excellent fuel economy, nice cargo holds, and a sweet picnic table that added to the whimsy and fun of the new value offer, it is no surprise that it took home accolades, including the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award.

KBB Review Highlights
In a crowded class with the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, Nissan Rogue, and Kia Sportage, the 2021 Honda CR-V stands tall. This model’s design leads with a bold look marked by strong lines that are notably rugged and modern. The CR-V also arrives with healthy fuel economy (28/34/30 mpg city/highway/combined), a zippy engine, and an available hybrid model (spotlighted separately). The 2021 CR-V builds its credibility as a go-to with a nimble and safe driving experience. Drivers will also appreciate the streamlining of the driver assistance and safety suite. Powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in either front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, the CR-V gives buyers options to fit their power and usage needs. The 2021 CR-V brings enough pep for your daily commute with an easy 190-horsepower rating and the grit to handle the everyday grind.
Clean, good looks, a stellar sound system, simple connectivity, automatic climate control, and flexible seating make for an enticing offer that drivers love for years to come. Less sport-inspired than some of its competitors. the Honda CR-V delivers a responsive and satisfying drive aimed at comfort and convenience rather than speed and torque. As you go up the trim lines beyond EX, you’ll find more benefits like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, leather-trimmed seating, power-adjustable front seats, and a power tailgate.
Delivering on the brand promise of a reliable, value-conscious option, the 2021 Honda CR-V comes well-equipped with all the features compact crossover SUV buyers crave.
