The compact SUV segment is a highly competitive one. But, despite this truth, there is one model that seems to garner a great deal of notice and subsequent sales, year-after-year: the Honda CR-V.

Lauded in 2013 by Edmunds.com, Kelley Blue Book, U.S. News and World Report and many others, the Honda CR-V is a great choice for anyone looking for a small-scale version of a capable, family-friendly or activity-friendly utility vehicle.

And just recently, Honda released the 2014 version of its popular CR-V, a model which we at Fox Honda think many a Grand Rapids driver should take a look at and test drive.

Available in multiple trims and both two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options, the 2014 Honda CR-V is incredibly well-equipped, fun-to-drive and efficient. The CR-V range is fitted with a 2.4-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine which makes up to the perfect amount of power for its size: 185 horsepower and 163 lb.-ft. of torque.

The capable engine slotted in the 2014 Honda CR-V is paired with a standard five-speed automatic transmission and an Intelligent Control system for tougher conditions. Fuel Economy Ratings for the model is 23 miles per gallon city / 31 miles per gallon highway / 26 miles per gallon highway*, for the front-wheel drive version and 22 miles per gallon / 30 miles per gallon / 25 miles per gallon*  city / highway / combined for the all-wheel drive version.
