When you have a vehicle that performs at the top of the market for you it can be difficult to decide when to make changes to it. While most of us love the vehicle that’s already in place, you don’t want to give other automakers the chance to surpass you with features or value by bringing something new that takes over your place in the market. Thankfully, Honda hasn’t had to face that with the most popular SUV on the market and they know when and how to make the changes to the CR-V that are necessary to keep it ahead of the pack for us to admire and enjoy.
If you want a compact SUV that has developed a reputation for being one of the most impressive when it comes to reliability, practicality and value, the CR-V continues to be the right choice for you. So many others love this SUV and have found that it fits many lifestyles and driving needs extremely well. This SUV also offers a host of amazing advanced safety features and tech items to give you the menu of everything you want to the table while leaving behind the stuff you don’t need.
As a brand new model for 2017 the CR-V has been completely redone an now offers you more fuel efficiency, more power and a larger size while improving the safety features as well. These safety features are one of the most impressive aspects of the new CR-V. The Honda Sensing Safety Suite gives you the items you need such as collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring to make sure you can keep yourself and all your passengers safe on the road when you’re driving.
Unlike most other SUVs in the class, the CR-V offers you two engines to choose from while most others only have one. At the base level you have the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that’s able to provide you with 184 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque. The second engine which is offered on all trims except the LX is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder model which brings in 190 horsepower and 179 lb.-ft. of torque. This is a turbo engine that can actually survive on regular fuel, making it an even better choice. The standard engine offers you as much as 32 mpg on the highway while the turbo will allow as much as 34 mpg.
Somehow the space inside this SUV looks and feels much larger than you would expect from the outside of the vehicle. This SUV offers you nearly forty cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and if you need to fold these seats down to have added cargo room you’re presented with a cave that’s the size of 76 cubic feet for you to fill. The rear legroom is impressive as well at 40.4 inches to make this a comfortable spot for tall passengers to ride and enjoy the road ahead.
