Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V is a compact 4WD vehicle that redefines style,drivability, and functionality. It is available in three models: CR-V, CR-V Sport, and CR-V Luxury. With its sleek exterior design, low center of gravity, and exceptional utility, the CR-V is perfect for any occasion.
Key Features
- Sleek and masculine exterior design
- Responsive and fun to drive
- Spacious and functional interior
- Available in 4WD
- Three models to choose from: CR-V, CR-V Sport, and CR-V Luxury
Engine and Transmission
The CR-V is powered by a 2.4-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine that delivers high levels of torque at all engine speeds. The engine has a maximum output of 125kW and maximum torque of 218Nm. It is equipped with drive-by-wire technology for better communication between the engine and transmission, resulting in a smoother drive.
The CR-V offers two transmission options:
- 6-speed manual transmission (available on CR-V model only)
- 5-speed automatic transmission with Grade Logic Control
The automatic transmission features a unique system that monitors throttle position, vehicle speed, and acceleration/deceleration to optimize gear shifting and improve drivability and fuel economy.
Handling and Safety
The CR-V is equipped with Real Time 4WD system that delivers extra torque to the rear wheels when needed. It also features Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) in all models, which controls brake pressure and engine power to enhance vehicle stability and provide greater driving control during acceleration, cornering, and emergency maneuvers.
Be excited. Be very excited
The Honda CR-V redefines what a compact 4WD can be. It’s been completely
redesigned to deliver a perfect blend of dynamic style, drivability and
functionality. And it’s also available in three exciting models, CR-V, CR-V
Sport and CR-V Luxury.
A swag of features includes a sleek, masculine exterior, a low centre of
gravity, exceptional utility and a plush interior. It’s responsive, fun to
drive, functional and more stylish than ever. So it’s perfect for any
occasion. Wherever you want to go: the beach, an exclusive restaurant, a
winding mountain road, the office or simply to the corner store, the CR-V is
never out of place. It lets you do what you want, when you want. When you’re
in one, the world is your playground.
Edgy styling gives it a sporty, progressive attitude.
Head out in style.
The Honda CR-V has been enhanced on all fronts. Inside and out it’s undergone
some edgy restyling giving it a sporty, progressive attitude. With its
windshield thrust forward and its remodelled side windows, the CR-V’s exterior
achieves sleek continuity from front to rear.
The CR-V also boasts an integrated, double-layer front grille. Which, in
combination with a chic headlight design gives it a unique, eye-catching
presence on any road. The rear of the car has also had a makeover: the spare
tyre has been relocated from the tailgate, allowing a clean rear-door design.
Meanwhile the masculine garnish on all lower body sides, 17’’ wheels and
protruding front and rear fenders enhance the car’s aggressive, sporty image.
No matter what your destination, heads will definitely turn.
If you’re an energetic type, the CR-V is for you.
The CR-V’s 2.4 litre DOHC i-VTEC engine delivers high levels of torque at all
engine speeds. The freshly-tuned engine has improved aspiration, with an
increased maximum output of 125kW and maximum torque of 218Nm. Along with
this, the CR-V has drive by wire, which enables better communication between
the engine and the transmission, all for a smoother drive.
The CR-V also offers a 6-speed manual transmission,* or a 5-speed automatic transmission with Grade Logic Control. This unique system monitors throttle position, vehicle speed and acceleration/deceleration to determine when climbing power or engine braking is needed. This prevents gear hunting and improves drivability and fuel economy.
Available on CR-V model only.
The CR-V has surprisingly sporty handling.
By adjusting the engine position we succeeded in lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity by 35mm while maintaining a high driver viewpoint. Combine this with a wider stance, broader wheel treads and the use of high-tensile steel throughout the body and the result is dynamic sedan-style performance and stability with agile handling. Adding to this greater drivability are the finely-tuned suspension systems. These systems use high-compliance bushings and longer suspension stroke to improve riding comfort, steering ability and braking.
The CR-V’s Real Time 4WD system delivers extra torque to the rear wheels when required. What’s more, the CR-V features Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) in all models. The VSA system controls brake pressure and power delivered by the engine, thereby enhancing vehicle stability and providing greater driving control during acceleration, cornering and emergency manoeuvres.
Inner cool.
On the inside, the CR-V exudes style. Solid-moulded metal components provide a
tough yet sophisticated finish. The chic instrument panel features two large
gauges with self-illuminating, high-contrast displays for outstanding
visibility. A large, centrally located LCD panel digitally displays engine
coolant temperature and remaining fuel.
Stylish blue ambient LED lights throughout the cabin, with back-lit switches, create a cool ambience. The inner environment is further enhanced by standard inclusions like air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and steering wheel mounted audio controls. The CR-V Sport and CR-V Luxury also boast dual zone climate control and an electric sunroof. Exclusive to the CR-V Luxury are quality leather † seats, a leather steering wheel and heated front seats.
Meanwhile, for your listening pleasure, you’ll find a single CD tuner with MP3
in the CR-V, and a 6 CD tuner with MP3 in the CR-V Sport and CR-V Luxury
models. The CR-V’s cabin is super quiet, thanks to ingenious soundproofing and
suppression of engine noise. What’s more the CR-V boasts more room than ever.
With extra front and rear leg room, occupant space now complements the already
plentiful cargo space.
†Leather interior includes some PVC vinyl material.
Full-on functionality.
Have the best of both worlds. In the CR-V, the comfort and performance of a
passenger car meet the everyday practicality of a 4WD. Increased front and
rear leg room is matched by improved utility. All models boast plenty
of boot space, giving you the freedom to do whatever you desire. Whether
you’re moving furniture, carrying bicycles, lugging firewood or transporting
friends, the CR-V can accommodate any activity. The CR-V Sport and CR-V Luxury
also feature a removable double-deck cargo shelf in the rear for even more
storage possibilities.
Plus, all automatic models feature a main console box with a capacity of 6.5 litres (enough to accommodate 24 CDs), and all models have eight extra large cup holders and a console sub box with lid or tray to store frequently used items. The CR-V is also easier to get in and out of, thanks to the lowered sill height, and larger rear passenger doors with wider door opening angle. And, on all models, the spare tyre has been relocated to under the floor, enabling the tailgate to open vertically for improved functionality. The tailgate is also surprisingly light. With so much utility, there are many ways to play in the CR-V.
- Interior versatility. Change the seating positions to open up the interior and rear space.
- Removable double-deck cargo shelf. Allows you to arrange the storage area to suit your changing needs. Available in the CR-V Sport and Luxury.
Play safe
When it comes to protecting people inside and outside the car the CR-V is equipped with Honda’s advanced safety technology. To help steer clear of potential trouble Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) are standard. An improved driving position along with strong, multi-reflector halogen headlights help you see everything ahead. Honda’s exclusive G-Force Control (G-Con) technology enhances passenger protection. G-Con technology is tested for real life situations and works by dispersing energy away from passengers. Built tough, the CR-V has an all-direction energy-absorbing body, which combines a rigid cabin with energy-absorbing front and rear structures. This results in an improved protection zone for occupants.
Driver and front passenger are further protected by front and side SRS airbags standard in all models. And in the CR-V Sport and CR-V Luxury, curtain SRS airbags are also included. Plus, in all models you’ll find three-point seatbelts in all seating positions. The front seats have pre-tensioner and load-limiter systems for additional safety. Meanwhile, the front bumper and bonnet are ergonomically designed to minimise injury to pedestrians in the event of a collision. A lower bumper beam and a wide frame also help lower the chance of riding up over a sedan in a collision. All of which confirms that the CR-V is exceptionally safe to drive.

What if we tested our new technologies in the most extreme conditions
possible?
It’s the ultimate testing ground and regardless of whether we win or lose, the
same question is always asked – how can we improve performance? And you can be
sure that for every improvement made on the track, there is an equal
improvement made to every Honda vehicle that hits the road.
What if our technology was more… alive?
ASIMO, the World’s Most Advanced Humanoid Robot, was born from a dream to
create a robot that could benefit people in everyday life. His name stands for
Advanced Step in Innovative MObility, a title he’s definitely worthy of.
Currently ASIMO’s capabilities include: running at 6 km/h, walking on uneven
surfaces, turning smoothly, climbing stairs, pushing a cart, receiving and
delivering trays and he can even dance a little boogie if the occasion calls
for it. Our dream is that one day, everyone will have an ASIMO of their own to
help around the home or office.
What if we had our own solar cell production company?
In recent times Honda has branched out into mass solar cell production.
Honda’s unique C.I.G.S. solar cell produces the highest level of conversion
efficiency in the thin film category and only requires half the energy to
manufacture, so it’s more environmentally friendly throughout its entire life.
Why does a vehicle company produce solar cells? Purely so we know that we are
doing everything possible to help prevent global warming.
What if a plane had its engines mounted on top of the wing?
Well, it would be original and it would be called the HondaJet. Secondly, the
engines would have to bein a special position on the wing we call ‘The Sweet
Spot’. That would then result in less drag at high speeds, 30% better fuel
economy and because there is no need for structural engine mounts on the
fuselage, 30% more cabin space.
What if there was a car that only emitted water?
Obviously the world would be a better place and the good news is, such a car
already exists: The FCX Clarity. It works by converting hydrogen into
electricity, which leaves you with only one emission, H2O. And in 2008, this
totally new fuel-cell vehicle went into production.
