Is a Honda CR-V considered an SUV?

Is the Honda CR-V big enough to be considered an SUV? I don’t really understand how cars get classified since some SUVs are way smaller than others.

Yes, the
Honda CR-V
is considered an SUV…by most. This is because the CR-V is a crossover SUV. This means that, unlike a traditional SUV, the CR-V has a lighter frame that is based on a car’s platform.
Traditional SUVs, on the other hand, are based on a truck’s platform and have a heavier, more durable frame.
You’re right that the CR-V is small, though. More specifically, it’s classified as a compact crossover SUV. The compact part means exactly what it sounds like: the CR-V is smaller in stature than many other SUV models on the road.
