Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V's redesign yielded big improvements. The four-cylinder engine is smooth and spirited yet economical. The interior is roomier, and fit and finish are very good. The CR-V was the top-scoring vehicle in this group as well as the least expensive. Too much road noise is our main gripe.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE

The CR-V rides steadily, soaking up bumps with muted kicks. Some road noise is almost always present, but other noise sources are kept at bay.

Handling is sound and carlike, though not as agile as in the Toyota RAV4. The CR-V rolls little in corners. It has good steering feel and, with a tight 37-foot turning circle, it's easy to park. It proved secure and controllable in our double-lane-change avoidance maneuver, but in our track tests its limited tire grip let it slide out at relatively low speeds.

The 160-hp, 2.4-liter Four delivers responsive performance and achieved a respectable 21 mpg in mixed driving on regular fuel. The four-speed automatic shifts smoothly. A five-speed manual is standard. The all-wheel-drive system automatically engaged whenever it was needed. It managed our muddy off-road course well enough but occasionally scraped its bottom. Braking was excellent.
