Honda CR-V
Introduced last year, the new CR-V is successful in the marketplace and returns unchanged for 2014. Whether equipped with front- or all-wheel drive, all CR-Vs feature the same drivetrain: a 185-hp 2.4L four-cylinder paired to a five-speed automatic. This proven team provides great fuel economy when Eco mode is activated. The range includes the front-wheel drive LX and EX versions, as well as the all-wheel drive LX, EX, EX-L and Touring trims. The roomy CR-V is built in Canada.
