Honda CR-V named SUV of the year

And the leader of the 2015 SUV pack is the Honda CR-V, declares Motor Trend magazine.
 
CNNMoney reports the revamped, if not fully redesigned, CR-V beat out 18 competitors to get the nod as SUV of the Year. The improvement that earned the CR-V top honors is its "continuously variable transmission," according to the report, which allows the transmission to vary gear ratios depending on power needs.
