The 2017 Honda CR-V took home the top honor in the Compact SUV category. The Honda CR-V, America’s best-selling SUV*, was recognized for its value, more powerful available turbo engine that offers class-leading fuel efficiency, and its premium, roomy interior. “The latest CR-V is the compact crossover SUV distilled to its near perfect essence, blending engaging dynamics, master-class interior practicality, and a pleasing demeanor into a deeply satisfying whole,” said Erik Johnson from Car and Driver.

The 2017 Honda Ridgeline received the top honor in the mid-size pickup category. The Honda Ridgeline, with its exclusive unit-body construction, earned its spot on the prestigious list for a combination of traits, including best-in-class ride and handling and fuel efficiency, available advanced torque vectoring all-wheel drive system, and superior noise, vibration, and harshness.
