The 2009 Honda CR-V ranks 1 out of 27 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 71 published reviews and test drives of the Honda CR-V, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Redesigned in 2007, the Honda CR-V remains unchanged for 2009. It is appreciated for providing a safe driving experience with ample storage space, now packaged in a sleeker design.
The CR-V receives all-around praise and is a longtime award winner. "This is an excellent vehicle and a great value -- possibly the best compact SUV on the market today," says About.com. The 2007 CR-V was named Motor Week's "Driver's Choice" for Best Small Utility and received IntelliChoice's "Motorist Choice Award" for Mid-Size Crossover SUV. The CR-V is often compared to the similar Toyota RAV4. The Toyota's advantages are its optional third-row seat and more powerful V6 engine -- both rare features within their class.
Surprisingly, the CR-V's middle-of-the-pack gas mileage doesn't seem to have slowed sales, despite record high gas prices. In fact, Honda's smallest SUV was one of the top ten best-selling vehicles of 2008.
The 2009 Honda CR-V comes in several trims -- the base LX, mid-level EX and luxurious EX-L -- in either front- or all-wheel drive.
