With a fresh redesign arriving last year for the CR-V, this Canadian-built crossover has been a perennial best-seller in Canada for many years. It’s a proven formula of practicality and functionality that keep buyers coming back to the CR-V and the refreshed version looks to keep building on that. A base 1.5L four-cylinder is available with 190 hp while a larger 2.0-liter engine paired with a hybrid system delivers 205 hp.
The top three stand out categories for the 2024 Honda CR-V as voted on by CCOTY jurors are:
- Interior Styling
- Quality
- Safety Features
Juror’s Opinion: Justin Pritchard had this to say at Driving.ca:
“It used to be that high-performing engine options used more gas to make more power. Not anymore: hybrid tech like this allows automakers to offer more power alongside fuel savings — a win-win situation for the shopper. Those thinking long-term can also consider resale value, since unpredictable fuel prices mean that ever-more used-car shoppers will be leaning towards hybrids and electrics.”
