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.
