Honda CR-V

Crossover, Mid Level

Honda CR-V

This CR-V from Honda ran away with the Vincentric’s Best Value in America™ award in this popular crossover segment.  Although the Toyota Rav4 did well as a second place finisher, the CR-V was able to show ownership costs that were a stunning 14% lower than expected.  Key to the CR-V’s lower than expected costs were its strengths in fuel, depreciation, and insurance costs.
