Should I Buy the 2025 Honda CR-V?
The Honda CR-V is enormously popular because it does so much right. It’s easy to maneuver, has a nicely composed ride, and places among the best in the compact SUV class for occupant and cargo space. Many standard driver aids are included, and the CR-V’s fuel economy is strong — especially with the available hybrid powertrain. Our only gripe is that the CR-V doesn’t offer the same spirited handling or punchy acceleration that some competing compact SUVs deliver.
