Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is on sale from € 27,300 with petrol engine of 150 hp and from € 29,300 with 140 hp diesel engine. The two series have a manual gearbox six speeds, the gasoline can also have an automatic five. The price of the diesel version is more cheaper than other similar models, partly due to a richer equipment (all-terrain relationship from 4.3 to 4.7 m, with a diesel engine from 130 to 150 hp sorted by price).

Like the model it replaced, has all-terrain car, five squares and pull fully connected automatically. There is no front-wheel drive versions of the moment, Diesel with automatic.

Between the Honda CR-V, the Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota RAV4, the Honda is the closest to a passenger car, the Suzuki is more like a road and the Toyota is something between the two. Therefore, the Honda is more advisable for those who appreciate the result of the car by road and occasionally travel in areas not paved. A Jeep Compass is similar in some respects to the CR-V, but does not have the same level of stability on the road.

The CR-V is distinguished from the models above and others of this type, including the BMW X3, in the aid to the conduct that may have.

There are five levels of equipment (all prices). The version equipped ( "Innova") takes an active developer of speed (ACC), which is able to automatically maintain a safe distance with the preceding vehicle and a security system after the collision (called CBS; commentary this device).

Other items of equipment having all versions are: stability control (VSA) with a function that can correct the path loss of the trailer ( "TSA"), front airbags, front side and curtain, can not lead rear side airbags and knee.

Depending on the version, may also have xenon headlamps, cornering light (AFS), two-zone climate control, computer, power driver's seat, leather upholstery, parking sensors front and rear and a rear camera color.

The browser includes Bluetooth connectivity for mobile phone, a stereo with a more powerful memory card reader (SD, CompactFlash and ATA Flash) and a system for recognizing voice commands.

Another factor that may have the CR-V is a large sunroof that can be hidden with two electric curtains made of the same material as the roof lining. From the inside, the ceiling is divided into two 750 mm wide by 354 mm long each.

Road, the Honda CR-V is close to the reactions of a passenger car, with little body roll and a relatively quick response to steering wheel. Has the understeer characteristic of this type of cars that do not lead them to a car tire.

Who can feel the uncomfortable sensation of heaviness of the whole field, although such may accept the CR-V rather than other models. The driving position is also similar to that of a passenger car, by distance relationship between steering wheel, seat and pedals, but with a greater height above ground, which raises the prospect of a little road.

The transmission system is functionally similar to the second generation CR-V (which was not very different from what was the first), but enhanced. It is a fully hydraulic system, has no electronic control (technical information on this system) and is less effective than other systems, for the delay you have.

There are several features that make the CR-V less suitable for driving off-road models: it has a lot of suspension travel, the ground clearance is rather low (185 mm), the transmission does not allow any intervention to improve traction (reducing, blocking or running specific programs) and has some degree of terrain that limit (the data in the data sheet).

Remains a well-made car, spacious and functional (differences with the previous CR-V). Honda has kept the sliding rear seat of the previous CR-V, which enables the space between the rear seats and trunk. There is a piece that can divide into two the trunk that can be very handy at times.
