Detail Reviews:-
The CR-V is quite a handsome car. With its intuitive and refreshing exterior styling, it’s quite a looker. Its boxy design language and upright positioning are unique, at the same time the tapering at the rear adds an extra dimension. The chrome grills and accents are an addition from the previous year’s models. The interiors are quite spacious as well. Fitting five passengers comfortably is quite an easy task for the Honda CR-V.
The fuel efficiency of this car is quite impressive. With a relatively low powered engine, it can boast one of the greatest fuel efficiency in this category with an average of 29 miles per gallon.
If there is any con for this car, then it has to be the car’s overall performance. Its 2.4 liter inline 4 is just not powerful enough. With an engine churning out 185 horses and the car weighing greater than 3.5 thousand pounds, it’s a bit sluggish when it comes to quick acceleration and 0-60mph times.
Verdict
Based on our reviews we would easily rate the Honda CR-V a 3.5 star out of 5. If we overlook the average engine performance, this car outshines in every other aspect. So for anyone who isn’t concerned about top speeds and speedy performance and is more concerned about the ride quality and the brand reliability then Honda CR-V is the car for them.
