Honda entered the compact-4WD segment early with the 1997 CR-V that was based on the platform of the Japanese brand's famous Civic small car. It's been a hit with buyers ever since.
Early signature touches were a tailgate-mounted spare wheel and a folding picnic table inside, though both have since disappeared.
The Honda CR-V had always been a five-door, five-seater vehicle until the latest, fifth-generation version introduced in 2017.
