| The 2013 Honda CR-V is the pinnacle of what a crossover
should be - versatile and totally space efficient. It's also one of the
safest vehicles on the market. It's likely to meet the needs of any
family looking for a vehicle in this segment, especially the price tag.
The backseat is impressively comfortable, but
also folds down very conveniently. Open one of the back doors, and with
one arm and a simple pull of a strap, the lower cushion tumbles forward
into the floor, the headrest angles forward, and the rear seatback
flips forward, all tucking nearly behind the front seat, to a completely
flat position. With rear seats in use, it has 37.2 cubic feet of cargo
space and an astonishing 70.9 cubic feet with them down. Cargo loading
is aided by the liftover height being only 23.6 inches. And up front,
there's a fantastic selection of cupholders, cubbies, and cargo
trays. Another selling point for families, the
National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2013 Honda
CR-V with a five-star crash testing score overall, and in frontal and
side impact testing. It also earned "good" scores, the highest
available, from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. For
additional safety, a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera is an optional upgrade
and offers either wide, normal, or top views. These have caused the 2013
Honda CR-V to be a Top Safety Pick. When
considering fuel efficiency, the 2013 Honda CR-V boasts the highest
numbers in its class. It is available in several trim levels, ensuring
drivers can find one that's perfect for their family. The highest level
EX-L models have available entertainment systems that easily compete
with much more expensive luxury vehicles. *Based on 2010 EPA mileage estimates, reflecting new EPA
