Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, the trusted automotive information resource, has honored the 2010 CR-V with its Best Resale Value Award in both the Compact Utility Vehicle and Top 10 categories. These prestigious awards are given to vehicles that are expected to have the best resale value after five years of ownership.

Edmunds.com named the CR-V a 2010 "Top Recommended" vehicle because of its car-like driving manners, good value, cool technology and comfy interior. Of the CR-V's safety, Edmunds.com stated, "Crash test scores don't get much better[1]." On the CR-V's versatility, Edmunds.com liked its ample cargo space and "innovative storage solutions." Edmunds also appreciated the CR-V's reputation for reliability, saying it's "still one of the strongest in the business", and also the CR-V's drivability, stating that it "offers some of the most responsive handling in its class."

Honda has a long history of environmental leadership, including the introduction of America's first mass produced hybrid, the Honda Insight, and the first vehicle to meet California's low emission vehicle standards, well in advance of regulatory requirements. Acknowledgement of our commitment to innovation can be seen by Honda's topping the rankings as the country's greenest automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)-for the fourth time in a row[1].

The 2010 CR-V emerged victorious against a formidable field of competitors in Motor Trend's compact crossover comparison shootout from their March 2010 issue. According to Motor Trend, the capable CR-V beat the likes of Subaru, GMC and Hyundai for first place with its exceptional engine, lively handling, and comfortable, usable interior space. Of the CR-V's complete package, Motor Trend said it's "In a class by itself in quality feel, classy interior materials and carefully wrought details," and "it isn't just the smart decision when looking at crossovers, it appeals to the emotions too. Both sides of the brain would be very happy with the CR-V."
