Facts about Honda CR-V
- The Honda CR-V was first introduced in the UK in 1995.
- It is considered a compact crossover SUV.
- The CR-V came out at a time when the SUV boom had begun in earnest, capturing a huge portion of the market that is now one of Europe’s most popular and in-demand vehicle types.
- There have been six generations and multiple facelifts of the CR-V to date.
- The first four generations of European Honda CR-V models were assembled at Honda’s Swindon plant here in the UK.
- The acronym ‘CR-V’ stands for “Comfortable Runabout Vehicle” according to Honda, but the term “Compact Recreational Vehicle” has also been used.
- The first and second generations of CR-V were designed and built on the same platform as the sixth and seventh generations of Honda Civic.
- Although CR-V sales have been lacklustre in the UK, it has been tremendously popular in the United States and, in recent years, China (where it is named Honda Breeze).
- The CR-V is currently Honda’s best-selling model globally (but not of all time, that title belongs to the Civic) and is perhaps one of the world’s most popular SUVs of all time after its competitor, the Toyota RAV4.
- Sixth-generation CR-Vs released in the UK in 2023 are now available only in petrol-hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains as Honda seeks full electrification.

Frequently asked questions about Honda CR-V
Which is bigger, CR-V or RAV4?
The latest sixth-generation Honda CR-V is slightly longer than the Toyota RAV4. It measures approximately (in length x width x height) 4.7-4.8 x 1.9 x 1.7 metres, whereas the fifth-generation RAV4 measures approximately 4.6 x 1.9 x 1.7 metres. Moreover, the CR-V has a slightly more spacious interior than its competitor.
What are the disadvantages of Honda CR-V?
For three decades, the Honda CR-V has always been one of the most popular SUVs and its latest iterations have very few disadvantages. One could argue that for an SUV of its size and when compared to competitors, it should have a 7-seat option and not the same old 5-seater configuration. Moreover, it looks and feels quite luxurious but still has a somewhat slow acceleration and a transmission that can be somewhat noisy when accelerating.
Why is the Honda CR-V so popular?
The CR-V may not have been the first SUV, but it certainly was one of the first to capture and define the SUV boom of the mid-late 1990s. Over six generations, the CR-V has gradually become one of the most well-known, reliable, and durable SUVs on the market. It is extremely popular in the United States, and in recent years, China.
How long will a CR-V last?
A Honda CR-V can be expected to last anywhere from 200,000 to 250,000 miles or even longer thanks to its superb build quality and hardworking engine. This translates to around 15-20 years with regular use. Note that newer hybrid powertrain CR-Vs may or may not have the same durability as slightly older models with petrol/diesel engines.
Is the Honda CR-V high maintenance?
Compared with competing SUVs, the Honda CR-V tends to rank quite well in terms of maintenance and expected repair costs. It is still an SUV and can cost slightly more than small cars, for example, but it is generally slightly above average when compared to other crossover SUVs.
