2022 Honda CR-V Touring Review: Still a Short-Lister
Auto123 reviews the 2022 Honda CR-V Touring.
Japanese automaker Honda is readying to introduce the new, sixth-generation CR-V, but before that and all the hoopla surrounding that event happens, we decided we’d give the current edition a good once-over, especially since it’s the one still at dealers (when there’s inventory) and the one that continues to lead the way for Honda in terms of sales. This CR-V first debuted in 2016 as a 2017 model, so it’s a proven commodity, one trusted by large numbers of Canadian motorists.
To wit, despite its advanced age, the Honda CR-V continues to be among the top-selling SUVs in Canada. The model's reputation is one factor keeping consumers coming to Honda dealers, but there are also other factors that come into play, such as driving pleasure and cargo and passenger space. We're talking about a utility vehicle, after all.

We don’t know how much the model’s designers would agree, but in our view the current CR-V is pretty darn anonymous when out in traffic, just one of many crossovers and compact SUVs of similar disposition out there. Since its debut it has received the odd modest redesign along the way, but nothing major. Honda doesn’t do major, generally. Especially when a model’s sales are so gangbuster.
