6th: Honda CR-V, $2,290
When the CR-V first arrived 12 years ago, it was one of the original “cute utes.” With the third generation the CR-V hasn’t grown a lot bigger, but it has gained sophistication in both features and styling, and earns top marks in crash tests. The front-wheel drive model with a five-speed automatic transmission and 166-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is rated here.
