The CR-V is a compact 5-passenger vehicle that, in driving manners, shares more in common with sedans than with traditional SUVs; it handles surprisingly well for its height, yet doesn't compromise ride quality. Crash test safety is another strong point; the CR-V has achieved top ratings in U.S. tests and is an IIHS Top Safety Pick. It's one of the most fuel-efficient compact sport-utes.
