As we head into 2022, it's clear that the Honda CR-V has not been immune to the changing auto industry.

Despite its long-running success in the past, the CR-V is now facing declining sales in both the US and abroad.

it remains to be seen if the Honda CR-V can recover from this challenging period. To stay ahead of the curve,

Honda must adapt to the changing times and find innovative solutions to get their cars back in the good graces of car shoppers.
