Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV that delivers a balance of style, versatility and comfort, along with a high level of safety technology.

The five-passenger CR-V is available in both front-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, each with a choice of three trim levels: LX, EX and EX-L. All trim levels are powered by a 180-hp 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The LX is equipped with 17-inch styled steel wheels, a CD player with MP3 capability and air conditioning. The EX adds alloy wheels, a power moonroof and a six-disc CD changer, while the EX-L is further outfitted with heated front seats, leather upholstery, automatic climate control and satellite radio. Standard safety features on every CR-V include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, front seat-mounted side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, active front head restraints and a tire pressure monitor.

The Honda CR-V gets a minor refresh for 2010, including an increase in engine output (14 additional horsepower), restyled front and rear bumpers, and a new grille. Additionally, EX-L trims get auto-on/off headlights and a USB audio interface added to standard equipment, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity is now included with the optional navigation system.
