Why It’s a Good OptionReputation for reliability: The CR-V line has been well regarded for long-term durability.
Premium features at a competitive size: The EX-L gives upscale touches (like leather, heated seats, premium audio) without the price of a luxury SUV.
Practical: Good combination of usable interior space, reasonable fuel economy, and ease of driving.
Things to Keep in MindThe transmission is a 5-speed automatic; while adequate, some competitors may offer newer 6-speed or CVT transmissions with slightly better efficiency.
Towing is modest (1,500 lbs) — not suited for heavy trailers.
