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. The P 490,000 gap between the entry-level V Turbo and the top-of-the-line RS e:HEV is sizeable—bigger than the Mazda CX-5’s P 480,000 difference between its 2.0 Sport and 2.5 AWD Turbo. 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. This begs the question: does it justify its premium price tag (in the case of the hybrid) or do the non-hybrids offer the best value?
