HONDA CR-V

Compact SUV, under $23,000

Honda CR-V

The Compact SUV, under $23,000 segment could be called the “Family Feud”, with the Honda CR-V and the Honda Element going head-to-head after outperforming nine other models in this popular segment. Although the Element we measured the Element as an Excellent value, it wasn’t enough to unseat the CR-V, which takes Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ award for the third year in a row in this segment.
