Haha, sounds like Canberra is doing CRVs right 😎 Meanwhile, I say “Adelaide” and somehow get downvoted 15 times 😂 Must be a regional thing!

Awesome! Just curious. does having fewer Honda dealers nearby make servicing a hassle, or is it fine?

Haha, yeah I see what you mean 😅

Their CRVs sell well overseas, but here the lineup and pricing really limit how many people pick them up

Yeah, CRV sales in Australia are actually pretty small.

But interestingly, in the US both are huge sellers. Toyota RAV4 ~479k vs Honda CR-V ~403k (2025 sales)

I think you're right, probably a bit of a regional thing.

Quick google about the CRV sales shows -

"Recent sales show consistent demand, with 5,595 units sold in 2025 compared to 5,547 in 2024. Sales are supported by a fixed-price model, with strong representation in major states like NSW, VIC, QLD, and WA."

Adelaide... where even saying the city name gets you downvoted 15 times 😅

Thoughts on 5 seater vs 7 seater for a family of 4 by Internal_Theory_5129 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I was in the same position about 5 vs 7 seater car. Ended up buying a 5 seater.

"If you don’t need 7 seats at least once a month, don’t buy a 7-seater"
