The compact crossover SUVs segment is becoming increasingly popular and competitive. Baltimore drivers love the style, utility, and efficiency crossover SUVs offer, which is why so many automakers are updating their current offerings and even creating some entirely new ones. And while Norris Honda would be happy to settle the debate and proclaim that the 2012 Honda CR-V is the best, we need proof to back it up, and now we have that.
Recently, Consumer Reports put the Honda CR-V in a head-to-head test with the segment's newest challenger: the 2013 Mazda CX-5. So which compact crossover SUV does Consumer Reports consider to be a better buy? That's right, the 2012 Honda CR-V. Admittedly, it was a close call, but in the end the Honda model came out on top
Consumer Reports praised the 2012 Honda CR-V for having the following features:
Roomy interior
Easy access
Ample cargo space
Overall smooth ride
The final deciding factor was the price. The Honda CR-V comes in at nearly $1,000 less than a similarly-equipped CX-5.
While the decision from Consumer Reports to recommend the Honda CR-V over the Mazda CX-5 certainly speaks volumes to the vehicle's performance, efficiency, and value, we know that the final verdict is in your hands. That's why we invite you to take the 2012 Honda CR-V for a test drive today at our Honda dealership in Baltimore.
