Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Honda transitions the CR-V into 2021 without making any significant changes.

Pros
Cabin's upscale aura,
noteworthy fuel-economy figures,
plentiful cargo and interior- cubby storage.

Cons
Not particularly quick,
can't tow as much as rivals,
hybrid's battery reduces cargo volume.

The 2021 Honda CR-V's #2 ranking is based on its score within the Compact SUVs category. It is the winner of our 2021 Best Compact SUV for the Money award and a finalist for our 2021 Best Compact SUV for Families award. Currently the Honda CR-V has a score of 8.8 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 38 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Spacious rear seat and cargo hold
Great fuel economy for the class
Upscale cabin
Quick acceleration

Cons
Few standard infotainment features
Frustrating touch-screen controls

By:

No significant changes for the 2021 CR-V.

Pros
Quick acceleration plus thrifty fuel economy
Roomy interior with cavernous cargo capacity
Rides comfortably yet handles corners athletically
Plentiful and thoughtful storage areas

Cons
Touchscreen can be finicky to use and lacks a separate tuning knob
Below-average towing capability

The Arona is perfectly ok, but Seat found it too easy to leap on the small-crossover bandwagon. They just faxed it in. Get a Leon instead.

Pros
Decent chassis,
good infotainment system and tech

Cons
Updated cabin still a little drab,
trim levels restrict your kit choices

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Looks great
Well equipped across the range
Nice and easy to drive

Cons
Tight on space for rear passengers
Lags behind on boot space
Some cheap-feeling interior bits
