The 2024 Honda CR-V offers a spacious 106 cubic-foot passenger cabin. This results in excellent rear seat space, even with three adults aboard. The 2024 CR-V also has reclining seat backs and includes standard active noise cancellation. This system monitors road and engine noise and generates opposing frequencies to cancel them out. Hence, all occupants are treated to a peaceful ride.
Moreover, you can select a one-touch power-operated moonroof. This is a great option that improves the cabin ambiance. Selecting this reduces the interior volume to 103.5 cubic feet, but Honda’s clever engineering ensures you won’t notice the difference.
The RAV4 interior is also stylish but slightly more spartan than the CR-V, which is a class leader when it comes to style and interior comfort.
The 2024 CR-V has a 39 cubic foot trunk. For more space, the rear seat backs can be split-folded in either compact SUV. Doing this gives you 77 cubic feet in the 2024 CR-V.
