The Honda CR-V is known for being practical. When it was released in 1990 it was one of the first original SUVs to hit the business sector, and now in its fourth era with this face lifted car.
The Honda CR-V is more premium than any other time in recent memory without yielding anything in the method for convenience.
This most recent car now accompanies the choice of a high-yield 158bhp 1.6-litre i-DTEC turbo diesel engine supplanting the more seasoned 2.2-litre unit, and in addition Honda’s new nine-speed programmed gearbox, which enhances productivity over the old six-pace auto unit.
The engine line-up is smaller, with only three alternatives to choose from, including 118bhp and 158bhp variants of Honda’s 1.6-litre turbodiesel, and also a 153bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine. All are pleasantly refined, however the diesels bode well, with lower CO2 outflows and more prominent proficiency keeping a top on running expenses.
On-paper economy is great, similar to its refinement progressing, however it’s the Honda’s enormous boot that is the most engaging thing.
The hybrid division is swarmed and the CR-V has numerous opponents, however any semblance of the Mazda CX-5, Hyundai ix35, Ford Kuga and Kia Sportage can’t compare to the Honda’s extensive load bay, versatile rear seats and roomy interior.
A large number of its rivals are more amusing to drive, however the CR-V is a casual motorway cruiser – in spite of the fact that we’d propose adhering to the diesel motors on offer for the best balance of efficiency and performance.
The range is comprised of S, SE, SR and EX models. All these trims feature alloy wheels, climate control, cruise control and electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, while you can add things like sat-nav and Bluetooth as part of Honda’s options packages.
