Despite its aging appearance and insides, the CR-V is still in the game. Why? Because its trunk is still cavernous, its build quality is still beyond reproach, and it still offers great resale value.

The many loyal Canadian fans of the CR-V will be glad to know that Honda is currently working on the next generation of the model, which should – surprise surprise - be bigger, more fuel-efficient… and prettier, if the first spy photos posted here and there online are any indication.

We hope that this new version of the compact SUV will have some form of hybridization, especially since our American neighbors have had it for a few years now. Let’s go, Honda!
