Since the mid-90s, the Honda CR-V has been winning over fans. Now, decades later, with competition only growing in numbers and variety, the Honda CR-V not only holds on but thrives. This compact crossover SUV has proven its staying power time and time again, and the 2021 model year has arrived to keep the name going strong.
The 2021 Honda CR-V is known for making excellent use of its interior space despite technically being a “compact” vehicle. Competitors often sacrifice cargo space to improve seating roominess or vice versa, but the CR-V achieves spacious seating room and cargo areas. The CR-V really puts the “Utility” in Sport Utility Vehicle, but that is far from its only achievement. Refer to the chart below for model details and available features.
