Review: 2025 Honda CR-V VX Turbo
The Honda CR-V finds itself in a unique situation. Using a single nameplate, it does battle on multiple fronts and that’s very clear when you consider its price range.

What’s more, unlike in Mazda’s case, where the country of origin between grades and features vary greatly, the CR-V is basically the same SUV save for a couple of lines on the spec sheet.
