About Honda CRV.

The Honda CR-V is a comfortable runabout vehicle, as some say its acronym suggests. A four-door, five-passenger crossover, the Honda CR-V comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and 5-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel FWD drive is standard; all-wheel AWD drive is optional.

Is the 2014 Honda CR-V a Good SUV?
The CR-V is an excellent compact SUV and a great value. In fact, it was named 2014 Best Compact SUV for the Money by US News & World Report. The CR-V has a comfortable ride, outstanding fuel economy, good legroom, and a long list of standard tech features.

Which Model Year of the Honda CR-V Is Best?
The fourth-generation CR-V debuted with the 2012 CR-V. Choosing a 2012 or 2013 model instead of a 2014 model will save you money, and you’ll get many of the same features. For 2015, the CR-V received fresher styling, a retuned suspension, and a longer options list, including numerous advanced safety features & a new CVT powertrain which is stronger but more fuel efficient.

Alternatives to the 2014 Honda CR-V include other small crossovers such as the Chevrolet Equinox, the recently redesigned Ford Escape, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport or Tucson, the sporty Mazda CX-5, and the Toyota RAV4.
