What does CR V mean Honda

Honda CR-V: A Comprehensive Review of Features and Specifications
Introduction
The Honda CR-V is one of those automotive success stories that inspire other automakers to strive for similar achievements. It’s a car that doesn’t require a formal introduction, at least to the millions that already own one, and to the countless others who see numerous models daily. With five generations of the CR-V, Honda has maintained a sizeable and profitable share of the Compact Crossover SUV market in almost every region they operate in. Like most crossovers in its segment, the Honda CR-V shares its underpinnings with the Civic sedan and was originally designed as a strict five-seater (though some markets offer a three-row variant).
Name and Market Positioning
One of the more interesting aspects of this Honda crossover is its name - CR-V. So, does it actually mean anything, or is it just a random collection of letters? In fact, CR-V stands for “Comfortable Runabout Vehicle,” which is quite fitting. In markets such as the United Arab Emirates, the Honda CR-V finds itself positioned between the cheaper (and smaller) HR-V and the more expensive (and larger) Pilot.
The CR-V’s primary competitors include:
