Honda CR-V Versus the Competition

Which Is Better: Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4?

You can’t go wrong choosing between the Toyota RAV4 and the 

Honda CR-V. Both vehicles have similar MSRPs, with the RAV4's 

starting price being about $800 higher. The Toyota comes with 

more standard equipment, including a touch screen, Android Auto, 

and Apple CarPlay. To get these features in the Honda, you need to 

jump up at least one trim level. The RAV4 also comes in an off-

roading trim, with no comparable version in the CR-V lineup. On 

the other hand, the Honda has a nicer cabin with more room for 

passengers and cargo.

Which Is Better: Honda CR-V or Subaru Forester

The Subaru Forester is another great compact SUV, but with its 

meager engine, the Subaru falls short of the Honda. In just about 

every other respect, however, the Subaru shines. It’s one of the few 

vehicles to rival the CR-V’s roomy rear seats and large cargo hold. 

Compared to the Honda, the Subaru has more standard tech 

features, an easier-to-use infotainment system, and good fuel 

economy estimates, which is impressive considering the Forester 

has standard all-wheel drive. Both SUVs offer excellent quality 

and value, but while the Forester was a finalist for our 2020 Best 

Compact SUV for the Money award, the CR-V took the top prize.



CR-V Interior

How Many People Does the CR-V Seat?

The CR-V seats five people in two rows on standard cloth 

upholstery. Leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and 

heated front seats are available. You can also get a leather-wrapped 

steering wheel and a heated steering wheel.

This vehicle stands out as one of the roomiest small crossovers. It 

has a generous amount of head- and legroom in both rows, and the 

seats are supportive.


CR-V and Child Car Seats

There are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the rear 

outboard seats. The rear middle seat has a single tether and one 

lower anchor. An additional anchor can be borrowed from the 

driver’s side.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the CR-V's 

LATCH system the second highest rating of Acceptable for ease of 

use. Though the lower anchors are easy to find, it requires 

considerable force to attach the car seat straps. Also, it's easy to 

confuse the tether anchors for other hardware on the back of the 

seats.



CR-V Interior Quality

This SUV has an upscale, classy cabin with quality materials, 

including faux wood accents in higher trims.

CR-V Cargo Space

The CR-V has 39.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats (37.6 

in the Touring). Folding down the rear seats opens up an 

impressive 

75.8 cubic feet behind the front seats. These are great figures for 

the compact SUV class.



CR-V Infotainment, Bluetooth, and Navigation

This Honda comes standard with a 5-inch infotainment display, 

Bluetooth, a USB port, and a four-speaker stereo. Several more 

features are available. These include a 7-inch touch screen, 

Android Auto, Apple Car Play, a navigation system, wireless 

device charging, satellite radio, HD Radio, additional USB ports, a 

moon roof, and a stereo with six, eight, or nine speakers.

While there’s a volume knob, there aren’t any physical controls for 

on-screen infotainment settings, and the touch screen can be slow 

to respond to input. There are a few buttons on the steering wheel 

for some common functions, but that doesn't make the touch 

screen any easier to use.


CR-V Performance

CR-V Engine: Robust

For 2020, Honda dropped the CR-V's power train lineup from two 

engines to one. Now, a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine 

comes standard, and it's rated at 190 horsepower and 179 pound-

feet of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission 

(CVT) is also standard.

Although the engine drones under heavy acceleration, the CVT is 

smoother than what you'll find in rivals. The CR-V's turbo-four 

engine delivers ample power and helps this crossover accelerate 

swiftly enough for most needs.



CR-V Gas Mileage: Phenomenal

This vehicle gets an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg 

on the highway. Models with all-wheel drive get 27 mpg in the city 

and 32 mpg on the highway. Those figures are fantastic for a 

nonhybrid compact SUV.

CR-V Ride and Handling: Smooth and Comfortable

The CR-V may not handle with the same agility as the Ford 

Escape or Mazda CX-5, but it provides a balanced ride with 

minimal body lean and responsive steering. It’s comfortable too, 

thanks to a suspension that does a good job of soaking up most 

road flaws. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is 

available.



CR-V Reliability

Is the Honda CR-V Reliable?

The 2020 Honda CR-V has a slightly above-average predicted 

reliability rating of 3.5 out of five from J.D. Power.

Honda CR-V Warranty

Honda covers the CR-V with a three-year/36,000-mile limited 

warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile power train warranty.


CR-V Safety

CR-V Crash Test Results

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 

2020 CR-V an overall rating of five out of five stars.  It also 

earned five stars in the frontal and side crash tests and four stars in 

the rollover test.

The 2020 CR-V performed well in tests conducted by the 

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The IIHS gave this SUV 

the highest score of Good in six crash tests, and models equipped 

with the standard driver assistance features received the highest 

mark of Superior for how well they prevent a forward collision. 

The CR-V's headlights received the second-lowest rating of 

Marginal when it comes to forward visibility.


CR-V Safety Features

Standard safety features include a rearview camera, automatic high-

beam headlights, and Honda Sensing, which bundles together a 

collision mitigation braking system, road departure warning, traffic 

sign recognition, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.


CR-V Dimensions and Weight

The CR-V is about 15.2 feet long. Its curb weight ranges from 

3,337 to 3,576 pounds.

Where Is the 2020 Honda CR-V Built?

Honda builds the 2020 CR-V in Indiana, Ohio, and Canada.

Which Honda CR-V Model Is Right for Me

Honda offers the 2020 CR-V in four trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, 

and Touring. All models come equipped with a turbocharged four-

cylinder engine. The base trim has plenty of standard safety 

features, but it’s a bit bare-bones when it comes to tech. To get a 

touch screen or smartphone integration via Apple Car Play and 

Android Auto, you’ll have to move up to the EX trim or higher.

Front and rear parking sensors are available throughout the lineup 

for $514, and all-wheel drive costs $1,500

Honda CR-V LX

The entry-level CR-V LX has an MSRP of $25,050. Its list of 

standard equipment includes a 5-inch infotainment screen, a four-

speaker stereo, Bluetooth, a USB port, automatic climate control, 

automatic high-beam headlights, a rear view camera, and the 

Honda Sensing suite of safety features.

Honda CR-V EX

The CR-V EX starts at $27,560. It gains a 7-inch touch screen, 

Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite radio, HD Radio, a six-

speaker stereo, two second-row USB ports, proximity key less 

entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, blind 

spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, larger alloy wheels, and a 

moon roof.



 Honda CR-V EX-L

The EX-L trim has a base MSRP of $30,050. It has a power 

lift gate, leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 

an auto-dimming rear view mirror, power-adjustable front seats, 

and an eight-speaker stereo.

A hands-free lift gate can be added for $390. The heated steering 

wheel remains available.

 Honda CR-V Touring

The range-topping Touring trim costs $33,250. It comes with a 

satellite-linked navigation system, wireless device charging, a nine-

speaker stereo, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and all the EX-L 

trim's options.
