5 Reasons We Still Love the All-New Honda CR-V

For years, the CR-V has been one of Honda’s top-selling crossover SUVs. In 2017, the popular crossover received a sharp new redesign. However, even with all the changes, here are five reasons we still love the Honda CR-V.

1. Stylish Exterior

While the all-new Honda CR-V is only slightly bigger than its predecessor, it looks larger because it has a stocky build. The shark fin roof-mounted antenna, roofline spoiler with integrated brake light, and available dual chrome exhausts finishers only enhances this beefed-up appearance. The redesigned fascia now comes with an active shutter grille that not only looks sharp, it also increases aerodynamics when cruising.

2. Comfortable Interior

The Honda CR-V has always had a comfortable cabin centered around the driver, and the new redesign is no different. Climb inside the 2017 CR-V and you’re greeted with a bright digital instrument cluster that’s easy to read. Every CR-V also comes standard with conveniences such as power windows with an automatic up and down feature on the driver’s window and illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls. When you’re looking for the ultimate in luxurious comforts, turn to higher trim levels to get leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

3. Plenty of Storage

When you’re loading up your CR-V, the available hands-free liftgate makes it easy to get access to the spacious cargo area. The 60/40 split rear fold-flat seating gives you a versatile interior to accommodate any combination of passengers and cargo that you’re taking with you. Even when you need space to store small items, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the CR-V. There’s an adjustable parcel shelf in the center console that you can slide into three positions to make room for anything from a bag to your tablet.

4. Loaded With Technology

When you’re walking up to your CR-V, you’ll appreciate the available smart entry system that locks and unlocks the doors without you having to take your key out of your pocket. The available 7-inch touch-screen display lets you pinch, swipe, and touch your way through podcasts, music, and navigation.

With available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can connect your compatible smartphone directly into the infotainment system to get access to your music, send or receive messages, and get directions. Plus with the USB port in the front and available USB port in the back, you and your passengers can keep your mobile devices charged and ready to go.

5. Great Safety Features

Just like previous generations, the all-new 2017 Honda CR-V comes with plenty of safety features to help keep you and your passengers secure. The standard multi-angle rearview camera lets you choose from normal, top-down, and wide angles to give you a better view of what’s behind your vehicle when you put it in reverse. Higher trim levels also come with a road departure mitigation system, lane keeping assist system, blind spot monitoring system, and more.

While the redesigned Honda CR-V offers plenty of new features, it still has these favorite aspects that we know and love.
