• Edmunds: “Everyday usability is the driving force behind the CR-V’s interior design. The wide doors allow for easy ingress and egress, and head- and legroom are ample for front and outboard rear passengers. A passenger sitting in the rear middle seat will also appreciate the lack of a protruding transmission tunnel that would otherwise necessitate an uncomfortable seating position.”
• Kelley Blue Book: “Whether you’re just starting a family or finishing up with one, the 2016 Honda CR-V makes a great choice. Available all-wheel drive is perfect for traveling in snow, and you’ll find little to complain about in the areas of fuel economy, reliability and resale figures.”
