Honda CR-V still a favourite
Honda CR-V revealed itself as the world’s best-selling SUV during the first quarter of 2014.
It achieved worldwide sales of 165 017 up from 161 837 for the same period in 2013.
The top-50 chart of the world’s best-selling cars puts the CR-V at number 11 for the quarter, above competitors including the Toyota RAV4, Volkswagen Tiguan and Nissan Qashqai.
Much of the success of the CR-V on the global stage can be attributed to the original concept which the car continues to assert – the optimum balance between the efficiency and performance of a saloon, and the practicality, versatility and safety of an SUV.
Honda CR-V remains a perennial favourite in South Africa. Originally launched at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show, the Honda CR-V was one of the first of the modern generation “soft roaders”. It became a benchmark for this fast-growing segment with its practical size and excellent utility.
Sales began in South Africa in 1997 and the CR-V quickly became a firm favourite with buyers.
