Honda CR-V Named one of Kelley Blue Book’s 10 Best All-Wheel Drive Vehicles Under $30K

Kelley Blue Book continues to make car shopping that much easier with another 10 Best list. This list consists of the 10 Best All-Wheel Drive Vehicles Under $30,000.

All-wheel drive is not just for the snowy weather and people who live where it’s cold. All-wheel drive provides extra traction whether the roads are snowy, wet, or muddy. It also helps when off-roading or on more unpredictable surfaces.

All-wheel drive does come at an extra cost but thanks to the editors at Kelley Blue Book, we have a list of all-wheel drive options that all sit under $30,000.

One of the 10 was the 2022 Honda CR-V. The popular SUV has a history of reliability and good resale value. The interior is clean and comfortable with quality materials that are easy to clean and family friendly. The ride is quiet, making for a relaxing drive for both the driver and the passengers, perfect for road trips.

Honda has two high-tech all-wheel drive systems:

Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) AWD System

• This system detects the level of torque each axle needs and sends the right amount of power as necessary. It also senses traction for each wheel and redistributes power to wheels as needed.

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System

• This system relies on sensors located in the back axle. If it identifies a decrease in traction in the rear wheels, it redistributes power to those wheels. Although it’s less dynamic than i-VTM4, the real-time system is ideal for mid-size Honda SUVs and CUVs.
