ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Honda CR-V?
The 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid SUV AWD achieves a Safety Index of 83 out of 100, a modest but positive increase from its 2023 predecessor's 82. This score is heavily influenced by the vehicle's crash protection, which contributes 61 of a possible 70 points. Its avoidance technology earns a perfect 10 out of 10, reflecting the standard inclusion of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. The weakest component of the overall Safety Index is the defect record sub-score, which stands at 12 out of 20. This is attributed to two active recall campaigns: one broadly affecting steering across Honda and Acura models, and another specific to tire identification number markings on 2024 CR-V units. Owner complaints for this model year total 360 unverified reports. Steering is a significant area of concern, as are the forward collision avoidance and lane departure systems, which together account for 71 of these complaints. This raises questions about the practical performance of the very systems that contribute to the vehicle's perfect avoidance technology rating.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Honda CR-V perform in crash tests?
