2015 Honda CR-V LX

The 2015 CR-V is a compact SUV that slots between the smaller HR-V and the larger Pilot in Honda's lineup. It competes with the Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, and Subaru Forester in the crowded compact crossover segment. The CR-V's engine is smooth and willing, and the continuously variable transmission keeps it refined around town. The ride is comfortable and composed, though the cabin lets in some road noise on the highway. Inside, the CR-V offers a spacious rear seat and a large cargo area with a low load floor for easy loading. The LX is the base CR-V, so you skip the EX's upgraded infotainment screen and alloy wheels, but you save a few thousand dollars and still get the same willing engine and spacious cargo hold.
