If you like the Civic but need the utility of an SUV, Honda has an ideal solution: The Civic-based CR-V. First released in 1997, the CR-V was an early example of the “crossover” SUV: Blending the space and functionality of an SUV with the fuel economy and drivability of a car.
Now in its fourth generation, the CR-V hasn’t strayed from its initial purpose. It still has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine—now making 185 horsepower—and customers can still choose between front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive.
