The CR-V isn't the best in any one area, but is very good in most including its large cabin and cargo hold, comfortable ride and secure handling. It's one weakness is an outdated and frustrating infotainment system.

So you're shopping for a compact SUV? Well, it's probably best to consider the 2022 Honda CR-V as the best place to start the search since it basically checks off all the objective, practical, sensible-shoes criteria. It has a family-friendly back seat, a massive cargo area, strong and efficient engines (especially the CR-V Hybrid), well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. Its popularity will likely mean lower discounts but it'll also mean higher resale prices. Basically, for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it's the smartest choice. So why doesn't everyone just get a CR-V? Well, people buy cars for things other than objective, practical and sensible-shoes criteria. Want something that's more engaging to drive and offers a more powerful engine? Try the Mazda CX-5 or Ford Escape. Want something with superior technology and bolder style inside and out? Look the Hyundai Tucson or Nissan Rogue's way. How about a small SUV that offers greater versatility and capability for outdoor adventures? Certain trim levels of the Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester would be better bets for getting dirty. All of the above are plenty practical in their own right as well, so it's not like you'll be sacrificing much, if anything to get something that meets your specific wants and needs more. That said, you can't really go wrong with a CR-V.

The only change for 2022 is that the Touring trim can now only be had with all-wheel drive. What are the CR-V interior and in-car technology like? The 2022 CR-V provides a tasteful, if a tad dull, design aesthetic backed up with above-average materials and build construction for this segment. If you're a previous CR-V owner, you'll note that this most recent version features a higher-quality and more premium environment than past models. If you aren't, you'll still find it to have one of the nicest cabins in terms of quality, and also one of the most functional, as it boasts a number of clever storage solutions in the center console that we detail in our CR-V Interior Storage Driveway Test. The Touring trim, pictured above, also features wireless charging. While a good feature to have, it also shrinks the smartphone-holding bin that is usually there and does a poor job of preventing your phone from flying into the foot well. Starting with the EX trim, the CR-V comes standard with an abundance of tech for a reasonable price that makes the base LX trim a bit of a moot point. You get three USB ports, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a variety of other smartphone integration apps and a six-speaker sound system. Controlling them is a 7-inch touchscreen, which is the CR-V's weakest element due to frequent glitches, iffy responses, lack of physical menu buttons and …
