Who Is the Honda CR-V Best for?

The Honda CR-V is ideal for an incredibly wide range of drivers. Students will find it a fuel-efficient first car for their college years. The hybrid version of the CR-V has even more fuel efficiency, making it ideal for drivers with longer commutes to work and back.

Families will love the spacious interior. The CR-V offers class-leading cargo and passenger space. This makes it a perfect option for chauffeuring the family around Marion.

The versatile Honda CR-V is known for being a jack of all trades, carrying a range of interesting and high-tech gear that the whole family will love. Drivers in very hot or cold regions will adore the CR-V for its remote heating and air activation capability. This allows the vehicle to reach the temperature the driver desires while they’re getting ready to go wherever they’re headed.

Drivers deeply concerned about vehicle safety will be impressed by how well the CR-V did during the testing year after year. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has repeatedly awarded it the Top Safety Pick title, and it got an overall five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Small families will love the fuel savings this SUV generates compared to its larger SUV counterparts.

Honda CR-V Features

The Honda CR-V has evolved over time as technology has advanced, and innovation has increased, but there are a few common features among all its model years. Its drive system is available in front-wheel or all-wheel formats, it has seating for five, and it has a smooth body style that departs heavily from the traditional boxy form of the average SUV. The internal combustion engine version of the CR-V comes in the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring trim levels, as does the hybrid version.

One of the best engines to grace the engine bay of a CR-V is the 1.5-liter VTEC turbocharged four-cylinder. It pounds out 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid version of the CR-V is driven forward by a 1.4 kWh battery with an electric motor and a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine. This hybrid core generates 212 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. The Atkinson-cycle engine is quite a bit more efficient than its counterparts, using less fuel to generate more horsepower and torque.

The most common interior features of the Honda CR-V include an air filtration system, leatherette door trim, an HVAC system with under-seat and console ducts, distance-pacing cruise control with steering wheel controls, a valet function, auto-locking power doors, remote keyless entry, cloth upholstery, and fade-to-off interior lighting. The most common interior options in the Honda CR-V include voice-activated air conditioning, leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and 12-way power-adjustable heated front bucket seats with four-way power-adjustable lumbar supports.

One of the best audio systems available for the Honda CR-V is a nine-speaker premium version with SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth, speed-sensitive volume control, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay programming, and audio controls for the steering wheel. The 7-inch high-resolution touch-screen infotainment system with Honda Satellite-Linked navigation is particularly useful.

Standard safety features on most versions of the CR-V include anti-lock brakes, a braking assistance system, SmartVent front side airbags, LED daytime running lights, a tire pressure monitoring system, an electronic brake distribution system, and vehicle stability assist with traction control programming.

CR-Vs with the Honda Sensing Safety Suite also come with forward collision warning, a road departure mitigation system, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, automatic high beam headlights, a multi-angle rearview camera, a blind-spot monitoring system, a cross-traffic monitor, and adaptive cruise control. The cruise control system includes low-speed follow capability. As we said above, the Honda CR-V is an extremely safe sport utility vehicle.
