The Honda CR-V has a long history, being one of the original small SUVs to hit the market 
Over this time the CR-V has built up a reputation for being tough and reliable But it also has more rivals than ever, including the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Renault Kadjar and Peugeot 3008 Its design is a subtle evolution of previous versions, but it's now bigger and more spacious than ever Despite SUV styling, the suspension is tuned for road driving and most versions are front-wheel-drive Our favourite engine is the 1.6-litre diesel with either a manual or nine-speed automatic gearbox The 1.6-litre comes with 118 or 158bhp, with the entry-level version offering better value for money It can return up to 64.2mpg and costs £140 in annual road tax The Honda CR-V can get from 0-62mph in 11.2 seconds with 118bhp or 9.6 seconds with 158bhp The SE trim level is well-equipped with a reversing camera, Bluetooth and folding door mirrors Meanwhile, the EX trim is loaded with heated leather seats, a panoramic roof and powered tailgate The CR-V has a very large boot, measuring 589 litres or 1,669 litres when the seats are folded flat Top trim levels are fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels Despite feeling sturdy and well built, some of the interior materials feel a little cheap compared with rivals The sat nav doesn't help in this regard, because it's an aftermarket system which looks rather dated A SENSING Pack can be fitted to the top trim with safety features like autonomous emergency braking Despite dated graphics the infotainment system allows plenty of ways to connect a smartphone or music player
