Honda CR-V Shines In Reliability Study

Honda CR-V Shines In Reliability Study

Date: 2014-05-23
Leading British consumer warranty supplier, Warranty Direct, has identified the Honda CR-V as the UK market's most reliable sports utility vehicle (SUV).

The company used its unique reliability index survey to identify the most - and the least - reliable SUVs and all-wheel drive cars on the market. The analysis was based on Warranty Direct's database of approximately 150000 units, all aged between three and eight years.

The index takes a number of key factors into account, including how often vehicles break down, the average repair cost, and the time spent in the workshop. These factors are used to calculate an overall reliability score. The lower the score, the more reliable the vehicle.

Honda's CR-V came out tops with a reliability score of 23,10, while Suzuki's Grand Vitara was placed second, with a score of 33,01. The remainder of the top five places were occupied by Toyota's RAV4, the Mitsubishi Shogun, and Kia's Sorento.

The CR-V was also the second most affordable vehicle to repair, with only the Suzuki Grand Vitara reflecting a lower average repair cost.

According to Warranty Direct, Japanese vehicles continued to hold sway overall, while European marques dominated the bottom 10 of the index.

Honda's CR-V continues to enjoy an admirable reputation for quality and reliability in South Africa, where it is a leading player in the compact SUV sector.

In the most recent JD Power customer satisfaction index (CSI)awards, released in 2009, the CR-V topped the compact SUV category. Honda finished second overall in the CSI ratings.
