From Commutes to Carpools: Choosing Between the 2014 Honda CR-V and Odyssey

At HHM Autos, we understand that every driver’s needs are different—especially when it comes to choosing the right used Honda. Some buyers prioritize daily practicality and fuel efficiency, while others need room for the entire family and a few extra suitcases. That’s why we’re showcasing two of our most popular pre-owned options: the 2014 Honda CR-V EX-L Sport Utility 4D and the 2014 Honda Odyssey EX-L Minivan 4D. Both models are known for their long-term reliability, thoughtful design, and strong resale value. The real question is which one fits your lifestyle best.

A Closer Look at the 2014 Honda CR-V EX-L

The CR-V EX-L is a compact SUV that has long held a reputation for being one of the most practical and well-rounded vehicles in its segment. With a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder i-VTEC engine, it offers a smooth, fuel-efficient ride that’s well-suited for daily driving, quick errands, or even weekend road trips. Its Brown exterior gives it a warm, refined appearance, while the Beige interior provides a clean, upscale atmosphere that makes every drive a little more comfortable.

Compact on the outside but surprisingly spacious on the inside, the CR-V offers the flexibility that many small families or solo commuters need. From commuting down I-95 to tackling grocery runs, this SUV feels nimble yet stable. Roof rails add additional cargo utility, and the alloy wheels give it a subtly sporty touch.

Exploring the 2014 Honda Odyssey EX-L

Families who need more room—without sacrificing style—tend to gravitate toward the Odyssey EX-L. With a 3.5-liter V6 i-VTEC engine, this minivan delivers strong, reliable performance while maintaining impressive efficiency for its size. The Gray exterior gives it a timeless appeal, and the matching Gray leather interior adds an element of sophistication not always found in vehicles designed for family life.

Where the Odyssey truly shines is in its interior space and convenience features. With seating for up to eight passengers, this minivan is built for comfort on long hauls and day-to-day routines alike. Rear entertainment options and a premium infotainment setup help keep everyone happy, while the flexible seating configurations make it easy to balance passengers and cargo without compromise.

Performance and Practicality Side by Side

Both the CR-V and Odyssey have been engineered for everyday dependability. The CR-V’s smaller engine offers the edge in fuel economy and makes maneuvering through tight urban streets a breeze. It’s perfect for individuals or couples who need a car that can handle commuting and light cargo without taking up too much space in the driveway.

The Odyssey, on the other hand, delivers on power and space. Its V6 engine is more than capable of handling road trips, carpools, and highway cruising, all while maintaining Honda’s signature composure and reliability. If you’re routinely carrying passengers or gear, the Odyssey’s spacious interior and strong road presence offer peace of mind and practical benefits that the CR-V can’t match.

Budget-Friendly Luxury with Real Value

When it comes to affordability, both models offer excellent value for the features they deliver. The 2014 CR-V EX-L is currently available at $11,490, making it a smart pick for those seeking a well-equipped SUV at a manageable price. Meanwhile, the 2014 Odyssey EX-L, priced at $11,990, offers significant space and additional amenities for just a slight increase.

Both vehicles uphold Honda’s long-standing reputation for low maintenance costs and high resale value, meaning you can drive with confidence knowing your investment is secure. The real choice comes down to your personal or family needs—compact versatility or full-size comfort.
