The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda. It was loosely derived from the Honda Civic platform to satisfy a public demand for a sport-utility vehicle from Honda. There are discrepancies as to what "CR-V" stands for, with Honda CR-V sources in different markets citing different meanings. Though Honda CR-V sales literature in Europe and Australia makes references to "Compact Recreational Vehicle", other Honda CR-V references cite "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle". It is available in both all wheel drive and front wheel drive, although in many markets such as the United Kingdom only all wheel drive is offered due to higher consumer standards of expectations resulting in lack of demand for lower specification Honda CR-V front wheel drive models. Honda produces Honda CR-Vs in the United Kingdom and Japan for worldwide markets, and as of 2007, North American Honda CR-Vs are produced in East Liberty, Ohio (where the Civic and Element are produced). The Honda CR-V is produced for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company, a joint venture with Honda. Elsewhere, the Honda CR-V is Honda's smallest SUV other than the related Element sold in the United States and Canada, and the Honda CR-V sold in Europe.
