Pros & cons | Pros
| |
Summary | Refined, roomy, and historically reliable, the Honda CR-V has earned its status as one of the best selling vehicles in America. This is a safe SUV, too, and it returns good fuel economy while delivering lively performance. There are few reasons to cross the 2019 Honda CR-V off of your shopping list, and numerous reasons to drive one home from the dealership. | Two decades ago, the idea of a Cadillac SUV was nothing short of crazy, especially because the first-ever Escalade was literally identical to a GMC Yukon Denali but with wreath-and-crest badges on it. Now, however, Cadillac sells four better-distinguished SUVs in various sizes and at various prices—including the Escalade. The 2020 Cadillac XT4 is the least expensive member of the quartet, small in size but big in personality. |

Look and feel
CarGurus experts rate the 2019 Honda CR-V as 9 out of 10 and the 2020 Cadillac XT4 as 8 out of 10. The 2019 Honda CR-V offers four trim levels, each equipped with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The CR-V exudes quality with an upscale look and a well-arranged interior. On the other hand, the 2020 Cadillac XT4, with its crisp, tailored styling and roomy rear passenger compartment, offers a visually appealing design and a pleasant interior. However, excessive front overhang and some quality shortcuts are noted.
Performance
CarGurus experts rate the 2019 Honda CR-V 7 out of 10 and the 2020 Cadillac XT4 6 out of 10. The 2019 Honda CR-V offers a choice between a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, both paired with a CVT. The smaller turbocharged engine provides more satisfying acceleration and better fuel economy. The 2020 Cadillac XT4 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The XT4's lively driving character and smooth shifts make for an enjoyable driving experience, but it suffers from excessive road noise and some handling issues.
Form and function
CarGurus experts rate the 2019 Honda CR-V 9 out of 10 and the 2020 Cadillac XT4 8 out of 10. The 2019 Honda CR-V offers a spacious interior with plenty of storage space and a generous cargo area. The 2020 Cadillac XT4 provides a comfortable front passenger area with soft leather, heated seats, and a roomy rear passenger compartment. However, the rear seat cushion lacks support, and cargo space is limited compared to some competitors.
Technology
CarGurus experts rate the 2019 Honda CR-V 7 out of 10 and the 2020 Cadillac XT4 8 out of 10. The 2019 Honda CR-V features a long list of infotainment upgrades, driver-assistance features, and collision-avoidance systems, but the infotainment system lacks refinement. The 2020 Cadillac XT4's version of CUE is much easier and satisfying to use than older versions, offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a WiFi hotspot, and near-field communication pairing to Bluetooth. However, the screen size and climate system integration could be improved.
