Reasons to Choose the 2025 Honda CR-V Over the 2025 Kia Sportage

Better Balance of Power and Control: Honda CR-V hybrid delivers 204 horsepower with better mileage than Sportage. Torque feels smooth, unforced. A constant companion, never too loud. It learns the road, adapts to the cold, pushes back against wind. Every turn becomes a statement.

Interior Comfort That Echoes Silence: Spacious without being swollen. Seats feel molded to the human shape. Rear legroom stretches to 1,041 mm. Every surface touches clean. Cabin noise fades to whispers. With 2,166 litres of total cargo, gear never asks for compromise.

Tech That Stays Out of Your Way: Honda CR-V keeps tech clean. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connect in seconds. No clutter. No confusion. A digital instrument display centers the dash. Navigation remains sharp. Controls sit where fingers expect them.

Legendary Reliability: Honda builds machines for the long haul. Cold mornings in St. John’s don't rattle the system. Ratings stay high. Repairs stay low. CR-V earns its name through action, not flash. In every trim, quality holds.

Refined Ride with Real Grip: Multi-link rear suspension softens rough roads. Real-Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System™ adapts to ice and slush. The CR-V makes ugly weather less ugly.
