Honda CR-V
Japanese automakers have the reputation of listening to their clients, as can be seen when looking at the CR-V's specifications. Last year, only the basic LX model was available with front-wheel drive. From now on, you can purchase the EX model with front-wheel drive, all the while having access to a larger variety of equipment. Its 166 horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine linked to a five-speed automatic transmission serves this mostly urban compact SUV.
