What does crv mean in honda crv?

While some drivers feel it must mean compact recreation vehicle, the CR-V in Honda CR-V actually stands for "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle", according to Honda itself. Even though the nomenclature differs from just calling it a sport utility vehicle, the CR-V shares many features with this style of vehicle, such as a high capacity engine, high ground clearance, a longer wheelbase, adaptive cruise control, and four wheel drive, as well as being able to seat at least 5 passengers comfortably. Honda advertises comfort using their CR-V in doing mundane tasks such as running chores, going grocery shopping, and picking the children up from soccer, as well as more engaging pursuits like off-roading and packing the CR-V full of cargo for a vacation.
