Description

The fifth-generation CR-V has undergone a full model change to provide dynamic performance that provides a safe and comfortable ride in any situation, in addition to a spacious interior and ease of use. The vehicle is available in two variations: EX and EX Masterpiece, both of which are equipped with a direct-injection 1.5L VTEC TURBO engine with dual intake and exhaust VTC. FF and 4WD drive systems are available. 5-seater and 7-seater 3-row seating specifications are available. The direct-injection 1.5L VTEC TURBO engine has torque comparable to a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine and a smooth power feel even at high revolutions, thanks to a specially developed turbocharger. The new generation platform has been revamped, and the basic structure has been greatly evolved. The chassis uses a MacPherson strut type front and a multi-link type rear suspension. In addition, the compliance bushes are liquid-sealed, and the dual pinion EPS and VGR (variable steering gear ratio) provide both excellent handling performance and a comfortable ride. The exterior has a 40mm increase in road clearance (4WD model, 30mm for FF model) from the previous model, and the wheelbase has also been extended. In addition, the wide tread, 18-inch large diameter tires, and large protruding front and rear fenders create a design that evokes the powerful and reliable driving ability unique to SUVs. The front view adopts full LED lights to emphasize its advanced nature. In the interior, the seats are made of high-quality genuine leather seats (standard equipment for EX and Masterpiece) that bring out the three-dimensional effect, and fabric seats with a glossy and unique deep color (standard equipment for EX). In addition, wood-grain materials and piano black parts are used for the instrument panel and door lining. The 7-seater 3-row model has the same body size as the 5-seater model, and the fuel tank has been flattened, and the design around the floor and roof has been thoroughly refined to ensure living space, and the third row seats also use springs inside, taking into consideration the living comfort of the third row passengers. In terms of safety equipment, the advanced safe driving support system "Honda SENSING" is standard equipment on all grades. The "Hands-Free Access Power Tailgate" (standard equipment on EX and Masterpiece) is the first for a Honda vehicle in Japan.
