Plenty of style, plus space and practicality too.
Better on-road than off. Prices still high.
Not just a lifestyle plaything, but a usable and stylish machine. Relaibility all-but guaranteed, too.
It might be a compact "lifestyle" 4x4, but the Honda CR-V has all the on and off-road ability most buyers will ever need. This first-generation model predated the Land Rover Freelander, and had more conventional styling, but was just as clever. How so? Its two-wheel-drive system automatically slipped into four-wheel drive when the electronics detected a lack of grip. A great all-rounder.
