"The 2012 Honda CR-V is completely redesigned for the new model year. Most noticeable is the new styling - the new model looks more agressive with a bolder front fascia featuring a three-bar grille and deeply set multi-reflector headlights. The interior is also completely updated with a new center console, lower cargo floor height and rear seats that are easier to fold flat. Other new features include a Multi-Information Display, Pandora internet radio interface, SMS text messaging function, and available DVD Rear Entertainment System. The 2.4-liter engine gets slightly more power for 2012, and fuel economy improves as well."

"The 2012 Honda CR-V is a great family vehicle, with a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior, and improved refinement, but it lacks the confident, sprightly feel present in past CR-Vs."

Fuel Economy Factor:
Fuel Economy Factor
2
The Fuel Economy Factor influence to the Total Car Score is determined by first calculating a vehicle's average fuel economy number. This number is derived from the average miles-per-gallon figure a vehicle receives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) across all available drivetrains (engines, transmissions and driven wheels). The number is then compared to the average fuel economy number for the entire segment in which a vehicle competes. The difference between a vehicle's fuel economy average number and the segment's fuel economy average number is what decides whether the fuel economy factor pulls a vehicle's Total Car Score up or down, and by how much.
For instance, if a car's average fuel economy is 21 mpg and the entire segment's fuel economy average is 19 mpg that vehicle gets 2 points added to its Total Car Score.
How is the Total Car Score Calculated?
Although each of these nine sources uses a unique ratings system (i.e. numbers vs. bubbles vs. stars, etc.), we convert those systems into a simple percentage score with equal weighting for each of the nine sources.
