Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
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

The CR-V Mk4 came 33rd out of 100 models in our 2019 Driver Power used car survey. It scored very highly in the most recent poll for practicality, versatility and space. Reliability was another high spot, as was the cost of servicing. All engines are chain-driven, so there are no cambelts to replace. Boot capacity is an impressive 589 litres with the rear seats in place.

Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent infotainment
  • Lots of standard equipment
Cons
  • Poor rear-seat visibility
  • Poor fuel economy

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
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

The 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid is available in LX, EX, EX-L and Touring trim levels. Its battery-only driving range is extremely limited, only about 1 or 2 miles. Honda Sensing suite of safety systems is standard across the board. The materials used are top-notch for the segment.

Pros
  • Efficient powertrain
  • Comfortable second-row seats
  • Excellent fuel economy
Cons
  • Lackluster infotainment system

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
This Honda's interior is easy to like, but one thing could be improved. The CR-V's instrument cluster looks weird, an odd combination of analog gauges and a digital display. All CR-Vs but the most basic model come with a 7-inch touchscreen front and center on the dashboard.

Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent fuel economy
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Unimpressive engine
  • Disappointing infotainment system

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

Reviewers from pcmag have found the following***:
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
