CR-V scored enough points overall for five stars, it did not perform well enough in specific frontal impact tests to be awarded the top rating and was given four as a result. The Honda lost out on the top rating because the dashboard presented a risk of injury to the knees and legs of both the driver and passenger.
The CR-V scored maximum points in the side impact and pole tests.
The passenger airbag cannot be disabled, so a rearward-facing child restraint should not be used in that seating position. The presence of ISOFIX
child seat anchorage points in the rear seats was not clearly marked, but the CR-V does have a seatbelt reminder system for front and rear seats.
The bumper scored maximum points for the protection it offered to pedestrians' legs. However, the front edge of the bonnet scored no points and the protection offered by the bonnet to adults' heads was predominantly poor.
