onda’s CR-V has changed for the better
and there is a raft of important changes
designed to make it even more family
friendly. For the technically minded there’s
a new diesel engine and nine-speed automatic
transmission. There’s world-first safety technology;
an all-new connectivity and infotainment system;
as well as enhanced suspension and optimised
refinement.
What that really means is that the CR-V is better
to drive, has engines that are more economical
than ever, technology that will help drivers
avoid accidents and the ultimate in high tech
connectivity which keeps every single passenger
entertained and happy.
Let's take a closer look at what makes the new
CR-V such an outstanding family car.
Under the Bonnet
There is a new 1.6-litre i-DTEC engine with
more power than before and reduced CO2
emissions (129 g/km), which say Honda has
the best power-to-consumption ratio of
any engine on sale today and that means
overall it has a combined miles per gallon
of 57.7. That new nine-speed automatic
gearbox has a lot gears, however the benefit
is smooth progress and better economy. A
more powerful version of this engine is also
available. Otherwise buyers can go for a 2.0
litre petrol which is quiet and perfect for
many of us who may not do that many miles
(under 12,000) every year.
