The Honda CR-V (also sold as the Honda Breeze in China since 2019) is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda since 1995. Initial models of the CR-V were built using the same platform as the Civic.{{cite web |title=Honda CR-V Model Details |url=http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/Honda/CR-V |access-date=15 March 2018 |website=NADAguides |quote=Debuting in Japan for the 1996 model year, the five-passenger compact utility vehicle Honda CR-V was introduced to North America in early 1997}}{{cite web |last=Stein |first=Jason |date=17 July 2005 |title=GM planning to beef up its lineup of small sport wagons by '08 |url=http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/gm-planning-beef-its-lineup-small-sport-wagons-08 |access-date=15 March 2018 |website=Autoweek |quote=since the 1996 U.S. debut of the RAV4.

Honda began producing the CR-V in Sayama, Japan, and Swindon, United Kingdom, for worldwide markets, adding North American manufacturing sites in East Liberty, Ohio, United States, in 2007; El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico, in late 2007 (ended in early 2017); Alliston, Ontario, Canada, in 2012; and Greensburg, Indiana, United States, in February 2017. The CR-V is also produced in Wuhan for the Chinese market by Dongfeng Honda, and also marketed as the Breeze in China for the version produced at Guangzhou by Guangqi Honda.
Honda states that "CR-V" stands for "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle,"{{cite press release |quote=The initials CR-V stand for "Civic Recreational vehicle".

{{As of|2022}}, the CR-V is positioned between the smaller ZR-V (marketed as HR-V in North America) — with which the CR-V shares a platform — and the larger North American market Passport/Pilot or the Chinese market Avancier/UR-V. It is currently Honda's best-selling vehicle in the world, and the second best-selling SUV globally in 2020.{{Cite web |title=The world's best-selling cars |url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/best-cars-vans/33872/worlds-best-selling-cars |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=Auto Express |language=en}}

The first generation CR-V or RD1 was Honda's first in-house designed sport utility vehicle by Hiroyuki Kawase. When the CR-V was introduced in Japan in October 1995 it was sold only at Honda Verno and Honda Primo dealerships{{cite web |title=乗用車感覚の新型2.0L四輪駆動車「CR-V」を発売 |url=https://www.honda.co.jp/news/1995/4951009.html |website=www.honda.co.jp |access-date=11 August 2021}} and exceeded Japanese government's compact car regulations regarding exterior dimensions (maximum width of {{convert|1700|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, therefore incurred a more expensive annual road tax obligation. For the North American market, it was displayed at the 1996 Chicago Auto Show and went on sale in February 1997.
Upon introduction, the model had only one trim level, which would later be known as the LX model trim; it was powered by the 2.0-litre straight-four B20B producing {{convert|126|hp|abbr=on}} at 5400{{nbsp}}rpm and {{convert|133|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4800{{nbsp}}rpm. Outer dimensions for this engine would be identical to the Integra's 1.8{{nbsp}}L engine, but internally the engine had a larger {{convert|84|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} bore vs {{convert|81|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} for the Integra, to add the extra displacement needed to produce more torque. The engine used a one-piece cylinder sleeve construction unique from any other B-series engine. The chassis and suspension was largely similar to the 4th-Gen Honda Civic Shuttle (Wagon) with a unibody design with fully independent suspension. The vehicle's suspension was double-wishbone, while the rear used a trailing arm-based multilink system. The rear seats were able to fold down and integrate with front seats that could fold flat, such that they formed a bed of sorts, about the size of a twin bed. Also, a picnic table was stowed in the rear floor area. All models featured plastic cladding covering the front bumper, rear bumper, and fender wells. In most countries, CR-Vs had a chrome grille; however, in the United States, the grille was made out of the same black plastic as the bumpers. The EX included anti-lock brakes and 15-inch alloy wheels over the LX trim. Drivetrain options were front-wheel drive or Honda's Real Time AWD.
Indonesian market CR-V was released in 1999 as a locally assembled model. Honda customized the model for sale to include a face-to-face third-row seating, making it a seven-seater vehicle to take advantage of the tax regulations in the country. The rear foglamp was also reconfigured as a fourth and fifth brake light.{{Cite web |title=Direktur Honda Indonesia Ternyata Pelaku Sejarah Pengembangan CR-V 7-Seater - Berita Otomotif {{!}} Mobil123 |url=https://www.mobil123.com/berita/direktur-honda-indonesia-ternyata-pelaku-sejarah-pengembangan-cr-v-7-seater/58393 |access-date=2022-07-14 |website=Mobil123.com - Indonesia No.1 Portal Otomotif |language=Indonesian}}

In 1999, for the 2000 model year, the European, Australian and Asian CR-V models featured more drastic changes. Exterior alterations included a new front bumper, smoothed off rear bumper, and a smaller plastic radio antenna on the rear of the roof. "Nighthawk Black" was added to the list of paint choices, while "Passion Orange" disappeared. New dark blue pearl and red pearl shades replaced the former solid red and metallic blue hues. European models received an enlarged Honda emblem on the front grille, and a new metallic yellow paint in certain markets.
The engine was changed to the 2.0{{nbsp}}L B20Z engine, producing {{convert|147|hp|abbr=on}} at 6,200{{nbsp}}rpm and {{convert|133|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4,500{{nbsp}}rpm. This improved performance for the {{convert|3200|lb|kg||abbr=on}} vehicle. Fuel economy of {{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} city/{{convert|28|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} highway (US) and price were not affected by the increase in power, which was the result of a higher compression ratio (9.6:1 compared to the B20B's 8.8:1), a new intake manifold, and slightly higher lift on the intake valves. This 16 percent increase in power resulted to a faster 0-60 mph of 8.6 seconds on the 5-speed manual 4wd.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/1999-honda-cr-v-ex/|title=1999 Honda CR-V EX SUV Road Tests - Motor Trend|date=18 December 2003}}
In 2000, an SE (Special Edition) model was introduced in North America. The SE featured body-coloured bumpers and side moldings, a body-coloured hard spare tire cover, leather upholstery, CD/cassette audio deck, rear privacy glass, and chrome grille accent. Until 2001, the CR-V sold more than any other vehicle in its class. The North American models also received new exterior colours including Naples Gold Metallic and Taffeta White. Electron Blue was introduced in 2000 to replace Submarine Blue Pearl, while Satin Silver Metallic replaced Sebring Silver Metallic in 2001. However, that year, sales of the Ford Escape and its clone, the Mazda Tribute, surpassed those of the CR-V.
The Australian higher specification model was called the "Sport". It was added at the time of the first facelift and included body-coloured bumpers, mirrors, door handles, and hard rear spare wheel cover. It also included alloy wheels, roof rails, and a large glass sunroof. The CR-V became the country's best-selling SUV in 2000, outselling the Toyota Land Cruiser for the first time.
=Safety=
The 1997–2001 model tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) was the LX model with standard driver and passenger airbags. The car's structure received an acceptable rating, and the overall car received a marginal rating — as the dummy's left leg would have been broken. In addition to this lower body injury, the dummy's head went through the airbag which may have caused a minor concussion. The chest was well protected.
Models equipped with an automatic transmission now had an overdrive cancel button that allowed the driver to lock the transmission in the first three gears to provide power for passing and climbing grades along with providing hill assist when stationary, known as "Grade Logic." The pattern of the cloth on the seats was also redesigned, and the head restraints earned an acceptable rating from the IIHS for whiplash protection.

The second generation CR-V, which went on sale on November 12, 2001{{Cite web|url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/honda-announces-pricing-for-all-new-2002-cr-v|title=Honda Announces Pricing for All-New 2002 CR-V|date=12 November 2001|website=Honda Automobiles Newsroom}} was a full redesign, based on the seventh generation Civic, and powered by the K24A1 engine, or the K20A4 engine in South East Asia. Southeast Asian models produced {{convert|150|hp|abbr=on|0}} of power and {{convert|190|Nm|abbr=on|0}} while the North American versions of the new engine produced {{convert|160|hp|abbr=on|0}} and {{convert|219|Nm|abbr=on|0}} of torque. Per new SAE regulations, the same North American K24A1 engine is now rated at {{convert|156|hp|abbr=on}} and {{convert|160|lbft|abbr=on|0}}. The new CR-V retained the fuel economy of the previous model because of the i-VTEC system. The new chassis had increased torsional and bending rigidity, the suspension included front toe control link MacPherson struts and a rear reactive-link double wishbone; the compact rear suspension increased cargo space to {{convert|72|cuft|L|abbr=on}}. The second generation CR-V was Car and Driver magazine's Best Small SUV for 2002 and 2003.
Second generation CR-Vs in countries outside of North America were again offered in both "low specification" and "high specification" variants, with the latter featuring body-coloured bumpers and fittings. It also now did not require the glass hatch to be opened before the swinging door. Changes between model years 2002, 2003, and 2004 were minor, involving an enlargement of the centre compartment bin and the addition of a front passenger door power lock in the latter two years respectively. The Honda FR-V was based upon the second generation CR-V.{{Cite web|title=FR-V Summary|url=https://hondanews.eu/eu/en/cars/media/pressreleases/214/fr-v-summary|access-date=2021-01-19|website=hondanews.eu|language=en}}
In China, a clone from Shuanghuan Auto, called the Laibao S-RV, became a centre of a design rights controversy, because the latter appeared to be a blatant copy of Honda's design.{{Cite web|url=http://www.motorauthority.com/attack-of-the-clones-chinese-copies-of-the-honda-cr-v.html|title=Attack of the Clones: Chinese copies of the Honda CR-V|access-date=2 November 2020|archive-date=23 July 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090723170751/http://www.motorauthority.com/attack-of-the-clones-chinese-copies-of-the-honda-cr-v.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.chinesecars.net/index.php?page=59 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110723041749/http://www.chinesecars.net/index.php?page=59 | title=Lawsuits | archive-date=2011-07-23 |publisher=China Motor Vehicle Documentation Centre | location = Ortaffa, France }}

In 2004, for the 2005 model year, the CR-V received a mid-cycle refresh. New 16-inch wheels replaced the previous 15-inch versions. Changes included new taillights and headlights with clear indicators and two separate H1 bulbs for low beams and high beams, the previous setup used H4 single bulb for both low and high beams. The taillights now used clear lenses instead of amber for the turning indicators. The grille was also changed; it had two horizontal bars instead of one. The front bumper design was slightly changed, it now has round fog lights compared to the previous trapezium fog lights and in addition the lower grill had two horizontal bars instead of one. The rear bumper reflectors were longer and narrower.
On the inside of the car, the EX trim received standard upgrades which included steering wheel-mounted audio controls, an outside temperature monitor and also an electric sunroof. The stereo system was also XM Satellite Radio ready in US-market vehicles. All CR-V models also received redesigned rear seat headrests, intended to improve rear visibility.
Mechanically, the 2005 model was also changed. A drive-by-wire throttle was implemented for all CR-Vs. The all-wheel drive system's engagement threshold was altered for improved response. US market models were equipped with a five-speed automatic, as opposed to the previous four-speed automatic.
In the United States and Canada, all 2005 MY and later CR-Vs have anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution, traction control and Vehicle Stability Assist, front seat-mounted side airbags, and side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors for all occupants.
In Australia, the MY05 facelift went on sale in late 2004. Base models made do with only dual airbags and ABS as standard equipment, while the Sport came equipped with side airbags for the first time. Curtain airbags were unavailable on any model, until the next generation.
Following the tradition of adding a trim level above the EX during the refresh like the first generation CR-V, Honda added the SE trim level for the 2005 CR-V. The CR-V SE featured painted bumpers, body side molding, and hard, body-coloured spare tire cover. Honda introduced leather seats for the first time to the CR-V with this trim, as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated side mirrors, and front seats.
=Australia=
This iteration of CR-V arrived in Australia in January 2002, and initially came in separate guises, consisting that of the "Base" & "Sport". The "CR-V" (or "Base"), consisted of, but not limited to, dual front airbags, air conditioning, power windows and mirrors, as well as a CD player. Building upon "CR-V" specification, The Sport added ABS, Cruise Control, a sunroof, 15 inch alloy wheels, front foglights, as well as body coloured bumpers and mirrors.{{cite web|last=Newton |first=Bruce|url=https://www.goauto.com.au/new-models/honda/cr-v/range/first-oz-drive-honda-cr-v-evolves/2001-12-10/5689.html |title=First Oz drive: Honda CR-V evolves |publisher=GoAuto|date=2001-12-10 |access-date=2019-04-22}} Consistently selling very well within the Medium SUV segment within the previous generation, amassing over 40,000 units between 1997 and 2001, the second generation continued its success, with it becoming the best selling SUV in 2002, selling over 12,000 units.
Several "Special Edition" models were released, beginning in 2003. The "Winter Classic" & "Sport Winter Classic" were sold in Winter/Spring 2003. Building upon the "Base", Winter Classic added alloy wheels, side steps, as well as a tow bar, while the Sport Winter Classic gained roof racks, nudge bar and foglights, however, did without the towbar. Later within this iteration, in 2005, an SE model was launched, featuring rear parking sensors, nudge bar and 16' alloy wheels. It was sold between October and November 2005. Running throughout 2006, the CR-V "Extra" brought with it 16 inch alloy wheels and side airbags.{{cite web |url=http://www.honda.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Honda.com.au/Home/Owners/Previous+Models/CR-V/2002+-+Current/ |title=Previous Models: CR-V: 2002 - Current |publisher=Honda Australia|date=2007-02-02 |access-date=2019-04-22}}

In the Philippines, the second-generation CR-V was released in 2002. The vehicle was reconfigured to seat 10 people, with 3 in front, 4 in the second row, and 3 in the third row to take advantage of the tax regulations in the country at the time which allows a 10-seater vehicle to be classified as a "mass transport van", therefore exempt from excise tax.{{Cite web |last=Go |first=Marianne V. |title=Competitors question registration of CRV as AUV |url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2002/05/18/161274/competitors-question-registration-crv-auv |access-date=2022-07-14 |website=Philstar.com}}{{Cite web |last=Santos |first=Joe |date=2020-07-13 |title=This 10-Seat Honda CR-V Might Be What the U.S. Really Needs |url=https://www.motorbiscuit.com/this-10-seat-honda-cr-v-might-be-what-the-u-s-really-needs/ |access-date=2022-07-14 |website=MotorBiscuit |language=en-US}} The 10-seater configuration also allowed the vehicle to compete with Asian utility vehicles (AUV), while 5-seater and 8-seater variants are also available. It was produced locally at the factory in Santa Rosa, Laguna with 63 percent of local content. In its 4-year production run, Honda sold 20,886 units of the second-generation CR-V in the Philippines.{{Cite web |last=Pornelos |first=Vince |date=2021-05-11 |title=Innovative Infamy: The story behind that 10-seat Honda CR-V |url=https://www.autoindustriya.com/editors-note/innovative-infamy-the-story-behind-that-10-seat-honda-cr-v.html |access-date=2022-07-14 |website=Autoindustriya}}

The third generation CR-V went on sale in the U.S. in late September 2006 for the 2007 model year. Portions of the body structure, drivetrain, and suspension were carried over from the previous model, while both interior and exterior styling elements were changed significantly. The CR-V now featured a rear liftgate and bottom-side spare tire mount rather than a side-opening rear door and door-mounted spare.
