Dan Frio, with Edmunds wroteHonda redesigned its popular CR-V just last year and there haven't been any significant changes for the 2024 model. Last years overhaul included a slightly lengthened wheelbase, which increased rear seat legroom as well as max cargo space a bit. The CR-V provides more than 39 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the rear seats, making it one of the most accommodating small SUVs for luggage and bulky items. There is a reason many consider the Honda CR-V the benchmark small SUV for families. Its latest version pulls off this feat yet again with a smooth ride, helpful tech features and excellent storage space.
The inside of the CR-V just makes sense. There is plenty of room in both rows, and large windows give you a sense of openness that we appreciate in a small SUV. All that glass also helps with outward visibility. CR-V also has Hondas wide-angle rearview camera that we really like. While a standard 7-inch touchscreen and optional 9-inch touchscreen are not exactly tops in the class, the CR-V has an effective operating system that is responsive to the touch and easy to use. Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard. The CR-V has excellent cargo space for a small SUV, measuring 39.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats.
KX starts the CR-V lineup with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, 17-inch wheels, Push-button start, LED headlights, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and Four-speaker sound system. The CR-V also comes with standard driver assist features including, forward collision warning with automatic braking, Lane keeping assistance and Adaptive cruise control.
