Exploring the Versatility of the 2024 CR-V

Do you need an automobile with lots of room for hauling family and cargo around town, but also want a vehicle with a small footprint for navigating congested roads and tight parking spots? If so, you’ll probably love a compact crossover SUV, and nothing beats the 2024 Honda CR-V in that category. Car and Driver awarded it first place on the magazine’s 2024 Best Compact SUVs list, with a rare perfect rating of 10 out of 10.

Design

The CR-V’s spacious cabin has always been a crowd favorite, but Honda has installed changes in this year’s model that provide increased comfort for all occupants. Driver fatigue is reduced on even the longest road trips thanks to the redesigned front-row seats. The back row has new reclining seats that offer passengers plenty of room to stretch out.

Active noise cancellation helps the cabin remain pleasantly quiet even when traveling at higher speeds. Drivers get additional relief from the Automatic Brake function during long periods of stop-and-go traffic, as the vehicle is held in place even without a foot on the brake.

Performance

All the gas-powered CR-V trims have a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that provides 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. Those modes have two-wheel drive with an option for Honda’s Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System. Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist are both standard.

Technology

A 4-speaker sound system with speed-sensitive volume control and a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster display are standard in the 2024 CR-V’s base model. Its infotainment system features a 7-inch color touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity for hands-free calling, text messaging, and streaming audio. The front console holds a 2.5-amp USB audio and smartphone interface.

Downloading the free HondaLink mobile app for Android and iOS provides basic complimentary information about your CR-V. Free trial subscriptions are also included for Honda’s Remote, Security, and Concierge service packages.

Safety

Honda has provided even the 2024 CR-V’s lowest LX trim level with an impressive selection of standard advanced driver’s aid and safety features, including:

• Forward Collision Warning
• Collision Mitigation Braking System
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist System
