The ever popular Honda CR-V returns for 2014 as one of the most functional compact SUVs in America. The CR-V provides car-like interior comfort, a smooth, quiet ride and innovative features, making it a great fit for families or anyone with an active lifestyle.
It is interesting that Honda still markets the CR-V as a SUV—it's built on a unibody frame and over the years has grown larger and more like a crossover with each new generation.
What's New for 2014
The current generation was introduced in 2012, so for 2014 the CR-V remains unchanged with the exception of some new colors.
Choosing Your Honda CR-V
All CR-V models are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque coupled with a standard five-speed automatic transmission. Optional is Real Time AWD with an Intelligent Control System that further harnesses available traction in low-grip driving conditions.
The CR-V has an EPA fuel economy rating of 23/31/26 mpg city/highway/combined for the front-wheel drive model and 22/30/25 mpg city/highway/combined for all-wheel drive variants. With its front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link fully independent suspension, the CR-V chassis is designed to maximize driving enjoyment, passenger comfort and confidence.
CR-V Models
Honda rarely offers standalone options, so the trim level you choose determines which features you get. If you want a moonroof, for instance, you'll need to upgrade from an LX to an EX; navigation, meanwhile, is available only at the top $29,195 trim level.
LX
Even entry-level CR-Vs are available in front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. Standard features include an easy-to-fold 60/40 split rear seat, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD Audio System with four speakers, a remote entry system and folding power side mirrors. AWD models add the Intelligent Control System.
EX
Features on the FWD EX models include a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers, a one-touch power moonroof, a security system, fog lights and rear privacy glass. AWD models include the Intelligent Control System.
EX-L
This level reaches near-luxury levels with dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power driver's seat, leather-trimmed upholstery, heated front seats, a 328-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with seven speakers, a subwoofer and XM Radio, and roof rails. AWD models include the Intelligent Control System.For the budget-conscious buyer, the LX (starting at $22,945) offers lots of value for basic features. If your budget is more flexible, the $25,045 EX and the $27,695 EX-L provide appealingly upscale features for a fair price.
