2007 Honda CR-V Review
Honda redesigns its compact SUV for 2007, giving it freshened styling but retaining a 4-cyl engine and five-passenger seating. The '07 CR-V is 3 inches shorter overall than the 2002-2006 generation, but wheelbase and interior dimensions are virtually unchanged. Available models are LX, EX, and top-line EX-L with leather upholstery. All offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive that lacks low-range gearing. CR-V's 2.4-liter engine gains 10 hp, to 166, for 2007. A 5-speed automatic is the sole transmission; manual transmission is no longer offered. Traction/antiskid control is standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment. A liftgate without opening glass replaces previous models' swing-out cargo door. Wheel size goes to 17 inches from 16. A sunroof is standard on EX and EX-L. A navigation system is available on EX-L.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Among utility vehicles, Compact SUVs are typically the least costly and offer the best fuel economy. Most utilize a car-type chassis and are not designed for heavy-duty, off-road use. Nearly all are five-passenger vehicles.

Our Best Buys include the Honda CR-V and Suzuki Grand Vitara. Our Recommended picks are the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Toyota RAV4.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Acura RDX, Honda CR-V, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot and Wrangler; and Mitsubishi Outlander.
News
The new CR-V may eventually add an optional 4-cyl "clean diesel" engine as one of several diesel-powered Hondas promised by 2009. We emphasize "may," as Honda has yet to announce specific models, though the CR-V would seem a good candidate for a diesel's much higher fuel thrift versus a comparable gasoline engine. Keep checking back with us for further news.
