Reviewer score 66% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The Honda CR-V was one of the first compact SUVs for sale in 1995. Since then it has been a hugely popular model around the world. In the UK it hasn't quite had the success that it's achieved in other markets. The fifth generation model arrived in 2018. It has a number of significant changes, including a hybrid drive system. Prices start from just under £27,000, and top-of-the-range EX models nudging around £38,000.

Pros

Competitively priced
High-quality interior

Cons

No diesel option
Expensive compared to rivals

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

Honda's compact SUV is remarkably comfortable, riding on 235/60R18 tires. Chassis tuning is likely the CR-V's most impressive feat. While it's not as sporty as the Mazda CX-5, it's among one of the tighter-handling small crossovers.

Pros

Well-damped ride
Comfortable ride
Decent infotainment system

Cons

No Wi-Fi hotspot
Not as sporty as rivals

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

The CR-V Hybrid is just plain nice to drive. It's not fast, but the electric motor provides a helpful shove of torque when pulling away from stops. All trim levels have standard all-wheel drive and the Honda Sensing suite of driver aids. The only thing missing is Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Good fuel economy
Comfortable ride

Cons

No Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

Honda relies on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for cloud-based connectivity and they're standard across the line except for the LX trim. The CR-V Hybrid loses its spare tire due to the battery placement under the rear cargo hold and replaces it with a tire repair kit. The hybrid version also switches out the shift lever for a push button gear selector.

Pros

Sleek interior
Easy to drive
Good fuel efficiency

Cons

Mediocre infotainment system
Lack of cargo space
