The 2018 Honda CR-V is a compact SUV, slotted above the sub-compact Honda HR-V and the full-size Honda Pilot in Honda’s SUV lineup. The Honda CR-V is one of the best-selling vehicles in America and it’s easy to see why. The Honda CR-V is one of those cars that you cannot go wrong with. It combines comfort, space, and value in an efficient package that meets most people’s needs. Honda Sensing, which bundles together advanced safety features like lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control is a worthwhile option. Prices start at an MSRP of $24,150.
