Honda CR-V
The archetype of the compact SUV, Honda’s CR-V remains one of the safest bets in this fiercely competitive market. Besides its excellent reliability, the CR-V also has a high resale value. Only one engine is offered, a 180-hp 2.4-litre four-cylinder. As for the transmission, it’s just as simple: there’s a five-speed automatic, period. Most models come with front-wheel drive. The others have all-wheel drive.
