The all-new CR-V isn’t packing a drastic update, but still maintains a lot of family friendly features which go great with its $22,795 starting price. Add AWD, like our LX tester was equipped with, and the CR-V costs $24,045.
Powered by a responsive 2.4L four-cylinder engine, the CR-V puts out 185 hp. If driving around town, you won’t need all that power, so fortunately Honda equips the CR-V with an ECON button, which dulls throttle response in favor of fuel-savings.
The results are pretty impressive. The CR-V earned 27 mpg during our time with it, which included a mix of both highway driving and city driving. This is slightly better than the EPA rating of 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined.
Simplicity is an underrated feature in cars these days. With the CR-V, all the essential buttons, controls and information are laid out in front of you in an easy to see and quick to understand manner. Everything from changing radio stations to finding information on the displays is dead simple. Even actions like folding the rear seats are done with ease. As a result, living with the CR-V is stress free.
The CR-V has a lot of family friendly touches, including a spacious rear-seating area. Rear passenger space is plentiful and goes well with the CR-V’s comfortable seats and nice, big windows. Front passengers also have a handy convex mirror to check on the back seat – making the CR-V ideal for young families.
