Foreign institutional investors have increased holdings in Honda Finance-related equity derivatives by 1.4% this month, signaling rising cross-border interest. The trend correlates with improved Japanese export data supporting auto sector financing demand. The Honda CR-V has consistently been one of the most popular crossovers in the U.S. , offering exceptional levels of value. For 2020, Honda facelifted the SUV, with an optional hybrid powertrain being available for the first time. It also came with a slew of upgrades in terms of better standard equipment and improved driver assists. The average list price of this model currently sits at $24,321. Why it matters: By offering insurance services, Honda stays connected to customers long after they drive off the lot, creating more opportunities to influence their next purchase and earn additional revenue from people who already trust the brand.
