Overview

A perennial bestseller in the compact crossover segment, Honda’s CR-V has long been known for its family-friendly features and impressive interior room. As plenty of satisfied buyers have obviously discovered, it's a vehicle that knows how to please its target market.

What's New for 2017

The CR-V has been completely redesigned.

Honda CR-V

Choosing Your Honda CR-V

Longer in wheelbase than before, the CR-V boasts crisper design elements, a relatively long hood, a broad stance, higher ground clearance, and shorter rear overhangs. Honda calls the fresh front-end look “windswept.” Stylized headlights are surrounded by a wing-shaped array of LED daytime running lights. Dual exhaust outlets are new for the Touring trim.

Previously, every CR-V held a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, rated at 184 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). In its new form, only the base LX model gets that powertrain. A turbocharged, direct-injected 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine goes into all other trim levels, developing 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet. Like the LX, turbo models use a CVT.

Fuel economy with the new turbocharged engine is estimated at 28 mpg in city driving and 34 mpg on the highway (30 mpg combined). All-wheel drive drops each figure by 1 mpg. With the 2.4-liter engine and front-drive, the EPA estimate is 26/32 mpg city/highway, or 28 mpg combined. Again, all-wheel drive reduces each figure by 1 mpg.

Cargo space remains impressive. You get 75.8 cubic feet of it with the rear seats folded, and 39.2 cubic feet with a full crew aboard.

All-wheel drive is available on all trim levels for $1,300.

Honda CR-V

LX

Priced at $24,945 (destination charge included), the entry-level model comes with all the basics, plus a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio, and a four-speaker sound system with Internet radio. The new LX rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels, rather than the previous 16-inch steel wheels.

Honda CR-V

EX

For an additional $2,650, the EX adds the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assist technology, including forward collision and lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, and road departure mitigation. Lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, a driver attention monitor, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert also are standard. EX models also feature 18-inch alloy wheels (previously 17-inch), automatic headlights, heated mirrors and front seats, a power driver seat, a sunroof, keyless ignition, satellite radio, and dual-zone climate control. The audio system receives two additional speakers.

Honda CR-V

EX-L

Boosts the luxury quotient with leather upholstery, an eight-speaker sound system with HD radio, driver memory, a power passenger seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a power liftgate. An EX-L trim level with navigation is also available.

Touring

Tops off the CR-V at $33,295 with standard navigation, a hands-free power liftgate, automatic LED headlights, roof rails, nine-speaker 330-watt premium audio, blue ambient LED lighting, and 18-inch wheels.

CarsDirect Tip

Honda offers no factory options for the CR-V, so picking the right trim level is especially important. We recommend that even price-conscious buyers skip the LX and go directly to the EX. For just $2,650 more, you get an impressive array of safety and driver-assistance technology, as well as some extra convenience features.

Surprisingly spacious inside and generously equipped, the redesigned Honda CR-V excels in what really matters to buyers of compact crossovers.

Pricing and Equipment

The CR-V starts at $24,945 for the LX, which covers all the basics like automatic climate control and Bluetooth. For $27,595, the mid-level EX provides plenty of additional features, including:

The EX-L ($30,095) gets luxuries like leather seats, a power tailgate, and a driver memory function. The $33,295 Touring adds special exterior trim, a hands-free power tailgate, and an upgraded sound system. All-wheel drive is a $1,300 option on all models.

Performance Pros

Honda CR-V

Every Honda CR-V comes with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Last year's four-cylinder engine carries over in the LX only, while all other trims get a new turbocharged engine, originally introduced in the Civic:

  • The base 2.4 liter provides typical performance for this class and an above-average EPA rating of 28 mpg in combined city and highway driving.
  • The CR-V is noticeably quicker with 1.5-liter turbo, and yet efficiency is even better at 30 mpg combined. Upgrading to the EX is well worth the cost, if only to get this engine.

Performance Cons

  • Steering is quick and confident, but the lack of feedback made us feel somewhat disconnected from the road.
  • As much as we like the gutsy turbo, it can get a little noisy when pushed.

Interior Pros

  • The Honda CR-V positively shines when it comes accommodating people and things. We found that three adults really can get comfortable in back, and cargo space (up to 75.8 cubic feet) is unmatched in this class.
  • The front seats are pleasantly firm and offer just the right amount of side support. The available leather makes them feel great, too.
  • After near-universal condemnation, Honda replaced the touchcapacitive volume control on the infotainment system with a physical knob.

Interior Cons

  • The 5-inch center display found in the LX isn't a touchscreen, so we had to contend with an array chunky buttons.
  • The front console spreads out around the gearshift, cutting into the space available for the driver's right leg.

The Most Pleasant Surprise

With its efficient packaging and clever storage options, the Honda CR-V elevated our expectations of how spacious a compact crossover can be.

The Least Pleasant Surprise

Despite the CR-V's smooth ride and comfy seating, the interior isn't especially quiet. Road and engine noise can interrupt the otherwise serene mood.

The Bottom Line

After driving this latest rendition of the CR-V, it's easy for us to imagine it getting even more popular that it already is.
