Honda has revealed its all-new, fifth-generation CR-V. This vehicle has been America’s best-selling SUV for the past 20 years.
The new Honda CR-V boasts new styling, a more spacious interior, and the CR-V’s first-ever turbocharged engine. American buyers have purchased nearly 4 million CR-Vs since its 1997 launch.
The new Honda CR-V features aggressive stylized headlights surrounded by a wing-shaped LED DRL array. The longer wheelbase has produced an increase in interior space, with the best rear seat legroom in its class.
The new Honda CR-V’s appearance includes LED headlights on the Touring trim. The CR-V also has an Active Shutter Grille that lowers aerodynamic drag, uprated aluminum alloy wheels and narrower A-pillars for improved visibility. Honda has finally added its first Hands-Free Access Power Tailgate. This lets you open and close the tailgate with a foot-activated sensor located under the rear of the vehicle.
In EX and higher trims, the new Honda CR-V will feature the model’s first ever turbocharged engine. This is a 1.5-liter DOHC, direct-injected and turbocharged in-line 4-cylinder rated at 190 horsepower. Combined with improved aerodynamics, the Honda CR-V is one of the most fuel efficient SUVs in its class. LX trims will be powered by the existing 2.4-liter DOHC, direct-injected engine. Both engines will be mated to a CVT.
The 2017 CR-V provides added ground clearance. Its front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension uses specially tuned low-friction dampers, with tubular front and solid rear stabilizer bars for flatter cornering. Dual-pinion, variable ratio Electric Power Steering contributes to the CR-V’s direct steering feel.
The CR-V offers a 7-inch touchscreen Display Audio interface that features the return of the physical volume knob. The CR-V ‘s Display Audio system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows for seamless integration of key smartphone features and functions.
Many comfort and convenience features are available on the new CR-V. These include remote engine start, dual-zone climate controls, heated side mirrors, an Electric Parking Brake, rear USB charging ports, front passenger seat with 4-way power adjustment and driver’s seat with 8-way power adjustment and 4-way power lumbar support and heated front seats.
