About Honda CRV
The 2013 Honda CR-V was named the Best Compact SUV for Families in 2013. Its standard four-cylinder engine gets the job done most of the time, but on the highway, it could use a little more oomph. The interior materials of the CR-V could also be a little nicer, but the CR-V has plenty of room in both rows. The fuel economy of this Honda is good for the segment, and its predicted operating costs are lower than average.
The starting price of the 2019 Honda CR-V is $24,350, which is significantly higher than the average price of a 2013 CR-V. For 2017, Honda redesigned the CR-V, adding new exterior styling, a turbocharged engine option, a more upscale cabin, and new infotainment features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These new models have more passenger and cargo space, but they are also much more expensive, which may not be worth it for some.
The average price of a 2013 Honda CR-V is less than that of a new compact SUV. The higher-end pricing for the 2013 CR-V, on the other hand, is very close to the price of two new subcompact SUVs, such as the top-ranked 2018 Hyundai Kona (MSRP: $19,500) and the 2018 Nissan Kicks ($17,990). Both have less cargo space, but they are more technologically advanced.
Honda debuted the fourth-generation CR-V in 2012, and the vehicle was redesigned again in 2017. Because there were no significant changes for 2013, you may want to consider a 2012 model, which is essentially the same vehicle but costs less. Check out the 2015 CR-V if you have some wiggle room in your budget. Honda added a continuously variable automatic transmission to the CR-V, which helps it achieve better fuel economy than previous models. Regardless, all model years in this generation are excellent overall choices.
