2018 Honda CR-V review: Our expert's take


What it is: The five-seat CR-V is Honda’s popular entry in the thriving compact SUV segment. It was redesigned last year with larger dimensions and updated styling. Base LX versions use a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, while other trim levels have a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder. All models come with a continuously variable automatic transmission and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive.


Main competitors include the Chevrolet Equinox, Ford Escape, Hyundai Tucson, Nissan Rogue and Toyota RAV4.


There are no significant changes.

2018 CRV Touring

August 21, 2023
By Viv from Harrison, OH
Owns this car

I had a 2013 before the 2018 CRV. The 2018 is much noiser than the 2013. I do like both. Not sure I would buy another one. I'm considering a Toyota Corolla Cross for my next vehicle.

I Love everything about my 2018 CRV EXCEPT the road noise!!!! A problem that is shared amongst many CRV owners that I have talked too.

Best SUV ever.

I'm not a high tech kind of guy. In fact, I've never even bothered to learned how to program my vehicle car radio or phone. I've used my CRV as a truck for hauling, camping and all around vehicle transport. It has never let me down and I would buy another one if needed.
