Redesigned Honda CR-V to Debut in Winter 2017

Going on sale this winter, the 2017 Honda CR-V packs a surprising amount of features into its compact body, making it one of this year’s best buys. Thanks to a revamped interior, more powerful engine, and innovative technology features, now is a great time to buy this popular crossover.

Redesigned Body

The new CR-V takes a step in a new direction with a redesigned exterior that’s slightly bigger than its predecessor. Its new body style is more aggressive with a sharp front end, stylized headlights, a wing-shaped LED array, and wider fenders with a muscular edge. Honda even added an active shutter grille to reduce aerodynamic drag, making the CR-V more fun to drive than ever.

Other great exterior features include automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, chrome finishes, and a hands-free power liftgate with a foot-activating sensor. Overall, the new CR-V is more athletic and sophisticated than the outgoing model, boasting a number of user-friendly features.

Updated Interior

Along with the CR-V’s exterior updates, it boasts a fresh new interior that’s more spacious and technologically relevant. The new crossover’s cabin is refined, offering premium features you rarely find in the compact SUV class. Thanks to its updated size, occupants enjoy more legroom. In fact, the new CR-V now offers the best rear-seat legroom in its class.

You’ll also love the SUV’s advanced interior features, including heated side mirrors, remote engine start, rear USB charging ports, driver power lumbar support, and an electric parking brake. Add to that the CR-V’s latest technology updates, including a display audio system compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and you’ve got a vehicle designed to do it all.

Honda Sensing Technology Suite

The 2017 CR-V is offered with Honda Sensing, the automaker’s enhanced driver-assist safety suite. This option gives you access to all the latest safety technologies, making your driving experience safer than ever before.

Honda Sensing includes a number of features such as lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, a collision mitigation braking system, a multiangle rearview camera, forward collision warning, a road departure mitigation system, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.

New Powertrain

Higher trims of the CR-V will offer the model’s first turbocharged engine, making the upgrade worth the extra cost. This fuel-efficient 1.5-liter direct-injected turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine is rated at 190 horsepower. It’s designed to deliver highly responsive and refined performance across the board. Combine that with the CR-V’s more aerodynamic body style, and the new powertrain boasts the highest Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy ratings in the compact crossover SUV class.

The CR-V also gets a new chassis design, improving the SUV’s handling, visibility, and ground clearance. Whether you use the CR-V solely as a commuter vehicle, plan on taking it on road trips, or hope to get off-road at some point, you can do it all.
