With the rapidly growing popularity and demand for crossovers, Honda has always remained on top of its game in providing high-quality crossover models. The Honda CR-V is a premium compact crossover SUV that has been around since 1996.
There are several types of crossovers, and a compact crossover SUV like the Honda CR-V is one of the most sought-after. The combination of the high ground clearance, functionalities, and space characteristics of an SUV plus the comfort and easy hatchback attributes to a good-looking and functional vehicle.
In the Philippines, crossover SUVs have grown in popularity too, like in other parts of the globe. Honda Motor Corporation’s CR-V is leading both in sales and in technology. If you want to know more beyond its specifications, some of its strengths and weaknesses are as follows.
One of the reasons you are getting an SUV or a crossover SUV is because of its massive space capacity as compared to a regular sedan or a regular hatchback. The CR-V has 472 liters of cargo space capacity on a normal seating arrangement and is capable to accommodate 976 liters of cargo load when you fold flat the second-row seats.
Not only that the Honda CR-V has good cargo space, but the whole cabin space is decent too. The legroom is spacious enough to have a little leg stretch while on a long drive. The headroom is nice even for tall people. In addition, this crossover SUV has enough shoulder space for the second-row seats.
The all-new 2021 Honda CR-V comes in a 5-seater or 7-seater, depending on the variant. This is good news for Filipinos who have been wanting the CR-V for the longest time but were hesitant because it only comes with five seats before. The 7-seater 2021 CR-V is now a good choice for families and individuals looking for a more passenger accommodating crossover.
With Honda leading in automotive technology, surely you got the safety and security advancements better than others. There are innumerable features to keep you safe and secure on the road, including the: Honda SENSING, engine immobilizer, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, vehicle stability control, lane-keep assist, front impact beams, side-impact beams, road departure mitigation, low-speed follow, anti-theft alarm, power door locks, central locking, anti-theft device, engine check warning, driver seatbelt, passenger seatbelt, rear seatbelts, vehicle stability control, crash sensor, rear camera, tire pressure monitor, child safety locks, parking sensors, day and night rearview mirror, EBD, and anti-braking system.

The all-new version of the CR-V has a diesel engine option available. It will help users to save up because of its fuel efficiency with the advantage of having a more powerful engine.

Yes, the new CR-V has a 7-seater option. However, many think that the third-row seats are good for emergencies and driving around the block only, as the seats and the legroom are cramped and uncomfortable.
The cabin looks okay, but it can be improved. However, if you are not after the design finishes, the Honda CR-V looks better than its competitors in the market.
A quiet environment contributes to a comfortable drive and ride. However, the CR-V needs an improvement with the insulation and engine noise to provide a better travel experience for the passengers and support a more focused driving.
