While the 2019 Honda CR- V is the same size as the 2018 Honda CR-V, it is indeed bigger than its previous generation, which ended with the 2016 model year.

Expanded Cargo and Passenger Room in the 2019 Honda CR-V

The cargo room numbers of the Honda CR-V were already high, so at first glance an additional five cubic feet may not seem like much. But consider, for example, that you can now fit five extra cubic feet of footlong sub sandwiches in back; that can make quite a difference. Additionally, interior dimensions have been optimized to give just a bit more space all around and achieve comfort perfection.
