The CR-V is a spacious and practical compact SUV. There are four trim levels to choose from (LX, Sport, EX-L, Touring), as well as two powertrain options (turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine producing 190 horsepower or a hybrid system generating a total of 204 horsepower), both of which are mated to a CVT. The list of options is not as extensive as it used to be, and pricing remains higher than most competitors. Helping the CR-V is superior residual value.
