Honda has introduced a fully redesigned CR-V for the 2023 model year. The fifth-gen CR-V ran from 2017 to 2022, making it one of the older compact SUVs in the segment.

The 2023 CR-V’s lineup has been trimmed down to just two options: EX and EX-L. The previous Honda CR-V LX trim was discontinued with the model's redesign, resulting in a significant price increase.

Honda is treading on tender parchment with its new CR-V. Is it a yet another mini-sport utility? Or is it a revisionist/retro station wagon? Actually, it's neither. Or it's both, depending on your aesthetic/measurement. As such, it bests many of its immediate competitors in both qualitative and quantitative measures, while trailing in a few minor... Read more »
In addition to booming, the sport-utility market is also evolving, and the new Honda CR-V is yet another proof. Like a number of current sport-utility vehicles, this appealing little four-door wagon wasn't designed to tackle tough terrain. That's because most sport-utilities rarely leave the pavement, let alone venture into tough terrain. For most of us,... Read more »
