Full Description: The 2014 Honda CR-V sails into the new year with little changed not that one of the best-selling compact SUVs on the market needed changing. The 5-passenger CR-V is one of the few compacts that can actually accommodate tall adults in its rear seat as easily as up front. Its clever 1-pull fold flat seats provide an impressively large cargo hold further validating the CR-Vs claims of versatility and value. With three well-equipped trims from which to choose the CR-V for 2014 has most of the bases covered. Thats why we named it one of the 10 Best SUVs Under $25000 for 2014. However stiff competition from the likes of Mazdas CX-5 (better fuel economy) Fords Escape (better audio/infotainment options) and Subarus Forester (permanent all-wheel drive) might have die-hard loyalists thinking twice. Driving the Used 2014 Honda CR-VThe CR-V has always been a no nonsense compact SUV big on value comfort and durability. Its ride quality is better than many competitors who have opted for stiffer suspensions and larger wheels in an attempt to appeal to enthusiast drivers. But enthusiasts rarely buy compact SUVs so Honda wisely kept the 2014 CR-Vs ride smooth and its handling adept but not sports car-like-quick. The passenger compartment is further isolated from the outside world by a rigid unit-body structure and extensive insulation throughout. Hondas Motion-Adaptive electric power steering works with the standard stability control to automatically encourage corrective inputs when it senses slippery or uneven road conditions. Add Hondas Real Time AWD system to the mix and you get a crossover SUV that can tackle the worst winter has to offer. Smaller lighter and quicker to respond than the previous Real Time setup the system can transfer up to 100 percent of torque to the rear wheels if FeaturesINTELLIGENT MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY (I-MID)All 2014 Honda CR-V models come with a bright 5.0-inch LCD color screen in the center of the dash that allows the driver to access and control a range of functions using buttons on the steering FOLD REAR SEATSThe backs on the 2014 Honda CR-Vs new 60/40-split rear bench seat flop forward with the pulls of levers conveniently located on either side of the cargo bay to create a near-flat load 2014 Honda CR-V InteriorWe like the sophisticated overall look and feel inside the 2014 Honda CR-V highlighted by a smartly-sculpted dash large and bright gauges and elegant switchgear.

With a bold more aerodynamic look the CR-V appears a bit more rugged with swept-up rear quarter windows and edgy front and rear fascia treatments. A steeply-raked windshield and slightly lower roofline effectively complement the CR-Vs high-profile grille and lamp treatments while a large single-piece liftgate coupled with a relatively low lift-over height eases loading and unloading chores.
