1. Honda CR-V
For 2017, the Honda CR-V is all-new. Hands-down, it’s the best one yet and dealerships can’t keep them in stock. Honda’s figured out how to sell cars based on boring performance and looks, but the Honda CR-V has both of those! So, look out – the newest Honda CR-V is going to be a hot seller year after year.
Aside from being beautifully sculpted for the first time, the 2017 Honda CR-V has technology that you wouldn’t expect. If you opt for upper trim levels, you’ll get a power hands-free liftgate, Real-Time All Wheel Drive, full LED headlights, Smart Entry, Rain-Sensing Wipers and the complement of Honda Sensing driver assist features.
A 190-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged engine gives the CR-V some get-up-and-go. The other option is a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four cylinder. There’s a minor difference in fuel efficiency, plus a turbo is always more fun. Both powertrains have a CVT tranny to round them out.
It’s arguably the best midsize SUV or crossover we’ve seen yet, although our eyes are on the Mazda CX-5.
