Looking at CR-V's, Not Sure About The Turbo Engine....

2018 Accord with 2.0T motor. It's terrific...I don't miss my Mercedes at all except the V8 rumble

We looked at the CR-V. My wife took an instant dislike and I agree. Seems clunky and not powerful with the 1.5 L engine and CVT.
Rented a RAV4: also disappointed.
The one small CUV I really liked driving was the Mazda CX-5; however I still prefer driving a sedan so bought the Accord 2.0.

Did you have it in "Eco" mode? With that enabled the engine seems sluggish I agree. With that turned off mine has plenty of pep... you won't win a drag race but it has pretty good pickup IMO.

Strive to live your life so when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the floor, the devil says "Oh crap, he's up."

I'd drive the Passport and the Ridgeline with the SOHC V6. Honda is dealing currently.
