To keep the CR-V SUV relevant in an increasingly competitive segment, Honda applied a mid-cycle makeover consisting of both styling and equipment updates.
While the subtle aesthetic changes slightly improve the looks of the SUV, not all other modifications were deemed positive by Consumer Reports after a first drive of the 2015 CR-V.
The new touchscreen audio system is highly criticized by reviewer Tom Mutchler, who says it is “horrible to use” because screen logic fails to be intuitive and the side buttons are too small.
Another change that CR didn’t like is the new suspension setup: while the 2012-2014 CR-V was one of the best riding SUVs in its class, the 2015 model takes a step back in this respect. Of course, there are also improvements on the 2015 CR-V, like the better fuel economy and the increased number of features.
