Drawbacks of 4th generation 2.4L Honda CR-V:
One of the major drawbacks of the car is its old looks which do not attract its customers because many new and latest models are available in the market. Secondly, the metal used in its composition is not pure metal and the materials used for the interior cabin is also not up to date giving cheap looks to the cabin. The touchscreen option available is very outdated without separate volume buttons and turning knobs. The engine is also not upgraded in this model. Lastly, it is an outdated model so its resale value and maintenance value is very high in our country as compared to its competitors.
Major competitors:
Toyota Fortuner with a price range from 73 to 78 lacs Pakistani rupees. The Honda BR-V is available from 22 lacs to 25.7 lacs Pakistani rupees. The latest model of Honda CR-V is also available in markets giving tough competition to the 2016 model.

Though the competitors are a bit costly they are durable and more reliable as compared to CR-V 2016.
