It's not often that one vehicle receives so much praise. For 2017 Honda CR-V, however, it was a matter of course.

That's in tandem with 39.2 cubic feet of storage space that ratchet up to 75.8 cubic feet when one folds the crossover's 60/40 split rear seat – ample for a smaller SUV .

Plus, a turbocharged engine comes as an available option, stepping up from a 184-horsepower, inline 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC engine already showing much pep in its step with 180 pound-feet of torque. Autotrader likewise loved 2017 CR-V drive dynamics, their prowess plain to see thanks to the SUV's Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), MacPherson strut front and multilink double wishbone rear suspensions, and Sport Mode, the last of which makes for an especially exciting yet balanced and precisely handled ride.
