With a compact SUV class that’s so competitive, how can the 2019 Honda CR-V possibly stand out? It’s a fair question, and winning Kelley Blue Book’s “Best Buy” award for the segment is a great place to start. From the city to the countryside and beyond, the new CR-V is establishing itself as the crossover SUV.
Find out how in our model overview below.
A Closer Look at the 2019 Honda CR-V
Design
The 2019 CR-V is in the third year of its current generation, and it looks better than ever. From its aerodynamic active shutter grille to its roof rails and available hands-free power tailgate, this SUV is as sleek as it is functional.
And just wait until you see the inside. Available amenities like leather-trimmed seats, an automatic dimming rearview mirror, and a one-touch power moonroof stand to please both driver and passengers. So does up to 75.8 cu. ft. of cargo space — a figure that rivals many midsize models.
Performance
Many smaller SUVs hang their hats on fuel economy, but it comes at the expense of power. But that’s not how the new CR-V rolls. Its 2.4L DOHC i-VETC® 4-cylinder engine posts 26 mpg in fuel economy in the city and 32 mpg on the highway* — all while making 190 horsepower. Add in available Real Time AWD with the Intelligent Control System™, and you’ve got one of the most poised driving experiences on the market.
Technology
The CR-V is several steps ahead of the competition in upgradable technologies. It makes both the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ and Blind Spot Information System available. But what about the standard stuff? In that regard, the CR-V is lightyears ahead. It all starts with Honda Sensing®, Honda’s signature safety suite. Base features include:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Road Departure Mitigation System
- Adaptive Cruise Control w/ Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Keeping Assist System
