Used Honda CR-V (Mk4, 2012-2017) review - What do owners think?

Honda's long-standing reputation for reliability filters into the CR-V range, performing well in Driver Power

The CR-V Mk4 came 33rd out of 100 models in our 2019 Driver Power used car survey, having come 20th in 2018 and eighth in 2017. It was well-regarded for its practicality, versatility and space.

Fuel economy and dashboard layout received lower scores, and owners also rated the driving experience as being below-par in most respects.

Reliability

As with most Japanese manufacturers, Honda has a strong reputation for building solid, reliable cars, and the CR-V is no exception. Owners report few problems with their cars, while Honda finished sixth overall in our 2021 Driver Power satisfaction survey with build quality and dependability very highly rated.
