The end of the calendar year is awards season for automobiles, and we're starting to see a number of nominations and actual accolades get doled out as 2014 winds down. One of the most prestigious that a Honda vehicle has received in recent weeks is the 2015 Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year, which was recently given to the 2015 Honda CR-V.

Obviously consumers enjoy the Honda CR-V, as it continues to be the best-selling SUV or crossover in the automotive business, but to have a respected organization like Motor Trend heap on their own praise is both humbling and exciting.

"It is an honor to receive such a prestigious award from the expert staff at Motor Trend," said Jeff Conrad, SVP & General Manager of Honda Division, American Honda Motor Co, Inc. "Our engineers, planners, and dealers work hard to deliver class leading products to our customers, and it's extremely rewarding to be recognized for that hard work. This award from Motor Trend reaffirms for us that we're meeting that goal."

Lauded for its combination of technology, efficiency and safety, the latest CR-V is the kind of vehicle that just about any driver can purchase and appreciate. Even the base trims are loaded with great features and technologies, and with the reliability that comes with purchasing any Honda vehicle, customers won't have to worry much about how long the crossover holds up. It will undoubtedly hold up for a very long time, and for that reason we’re optimistic the CR-V can win even more awards before the end of this winter’s auto awards season!
