The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover, four-door sport utility vehicle(SUV) manufactured since 1995 by Honda. It uses the Honda Civic platform. According to the automaker's Japanese press information, "CR-V" stands for "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle"[1] while sales literature in the UK has made references to it as "Compact Recreational Vehicle" while some think it stands for "Civic Recreational Vehicle".
Honda began producing the CR-V in Sayama, Japan, and Swindon, UK, for worldwide markets, adding North American manufacturing sites in East Liberty, Ohio, in 2007; El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico, in late 2007; and Alliston, Ontario, Canada, in 2012. The CR-V also is produced in Wuhan(Hubei province) for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company, a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Corporation.
The CR-V is Honda's mid-range utility vehicle, slotting between the smaller HR-V and the larger Pilot.
