In the world of the “H” manufacturer, cars like the Accord, Civic and Pilot are king. They’re major sellers for Honda. But, you may notice that we left one out of the fearsome foursome. That’s a massive mistake.
That’s because the CR-V is a massively important vehicle for our friends at Honda.
While the current-gen product is doing OK, we have to point out it is selling in a rather opportune market. Buyers cannot get enough of compact sport-utility vehicles and the CR-V benefits from this. So, how can Honda make it a more compelling vehicle?

The latest rumors suggest that the all-new CR-V may get room for seven. That may be hard to believe, however, we suggest you analyze the increase in space beyond the B-Pillar in the spy shots. It’s completely possible.
