Packing a new engine, a massively revised exterior and a full complement of hot technology, Honda's crossover-sales king is ready to defend its throne.

The thing you need to know first is that the 2017 CR-V does come with a physical volume knob. Now that we've covered the most important thing, let's talk about the rest of the car.

The exterior is far fancier than before, with thin LED taillights and a countenance inspired by the company's Acura.

The interior is sharper, too, ditching the dual-screen setup from before in favor of a more cohesive, single-screen design.

That single screen measures 7 inches, and it comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard.

Every other trim receives a 190-horsepower, turbo I4, which is a derivation of the Civic's engine.
