CRV Awards, Accolades and Ratings

 IntelliChoice[1] tries to determine the actual costs of ownership of new vehicles over a five-year period by exhaustively analyzing government and third-party data, and assigning a value rating to all vehicles. For its low ownership costs and overall value, the CR-V has won the IntelliChoice Best Overall Value award for the "Compact SUV/Crossover" category.

 The 2010 CR-V received 5-star frontal and 5-star side-impact crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)[1]. Every CR-V comes equipped with standard features such as Advanced Compatibility Engineering? (ACE?) body structure, anti-lock braking (ABS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Plus, six airbags, including side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, help protect driver and passengers in sufficient impacts.

 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.

 The 2010 CR-V emerged victorious against a formidable field of competitors in Motor Trend's compact crossover 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."
 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].
