Overall rating:
CR-V is built on a completely new platform derived from the current Civic, but little more than the length and height increase compared to the "elder". The shape of the small-size SUVs still have more similarities than Civic, however, the 2017 CR-V still has to be refreshed more than to bring truly outstanding appearance.
Basically, this is still handy with cars Volvo-esque headlights and height is higher engineers design "newly expanded" more than 1.4 inches (35.6 mm) than the previous generation . While the new LED headlights adorn the Touring edition and become a model in the new generation Honda even the appearance of the CR-V version in 2017 did not change too much compared to the previous generation .
Assessment of the Interior:
However, just like the Civic, Honda has upgraded the interior. That was evident when comparing CR-V version with the previous generation and the other crossover models in the same price segment 25000-35000 USD (approximately 568-795 million).
In particular, the most expensive on the Touring version, the interior of the CR-V also showed significant superiority in the same segment. The materials used in the cabin but not too flashy as those of Audi products but would bring a new feel, when compared with rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 now or Nissan Rogue. Shaded plastic material, sewing lines and subtle wood accents on the dash ... all contribute to the embellishment of perfect for the car's interior.
Press the volume knob is set to return after a few years by the manufacturer controls arranged in clusters-touch sensor. But overall, the central control system remains the spirit of the recent products of Honda. Center screen clearly designed and is somewhat slow when switching between menu (menu) or the different modes, particularly when combined with the mode of application Apple or Android OS CarPlay Auto . In addition, the car is fitted radio system simpler, detailed standard on the LX base.
However, press the volume knob is not detailing the most expensive in the interior of the CR-V new generation. It is noteworthy that the space inside the car. Luggage compartment of the CR-V is Honda's new version marginally better assert about 10 inches (25.4 cm) compared to the previous generation. The seat folds flat with just one operation, for each side 60/40. Even the passenger's leg room spacious rear flat also significantly, enough for 3 people - an advantage not rival CR-V yet can also unmatched.
Not only that, Honda also is equipped with multiple devices are commonly used on the line crossover. Accordingly, all CR-V version of the new generation are equipped with automatic air conditioning system and active noise control, while the EX version and the higher levels have more technical dash the "borrowed" from the Civic, the system boots with buttons (push-button start) and no key lock technology (keyless entry). In particular, blind spot monitoring system surveillance cameras will replace previous LaneWatch lane. Private Touring version now comes with automatic trunk opening, frees the hands of employers and feels comfortable handy.
Assessment of the engine:
LX version is equipped with 4-cylinder engine 2,4L CR-V inherited from the old version. However, Japanese manufacturers attract more attention of customers while providing more than 1.5L supercharged version, four-cylinder engine is based on caught on the new generation Civic. In the CR-V, the production capacity of around 190 horsepower - more than 6 horsepower than version 2,4L and 16 horsepower compared with most versions of the Civic. However, the point worth mentioning is that, 2,4L engine naturally aspirated with greater torque compared to 1.4 Nm supercharged engine.
This does not make a big difference in the experience test drive with the drive AWD Touring version (full-time 4-wheel drive). Similarly Civic, CR-V in the new changes very subtle and compact SUVs are rated as one of the quietest crossover segment. Even stepless variable transmission (CVT) also feels smooth operation.
Although the torque curve fluctuates within limits revs 2000-5000 rpm / min, the new CR-V generation still feels "caught" a clear way. While Ford Escape, compact cars use 1.5L supercharged engine to be evaluated steering feels "strong" over.
More responsive steering wheel is also a focal point in the CR-V new generation by the Japanese automaker has equipped steering wheel revs 2.3 versus 3.1 on the old version. The new steering system was evaluated for feeling quite satisfied and not so different if I had to park in crowded places.
Add an additional value on the EX version and the higher level is a series of driver assistance technologies Honda Sensing. Cruise control system with features proactive support stop-and-go, lane assist (the lane-keep assist) and pre-collision warning (forward collision alert) are now standard equipment on most versions CR-V. These systems were also upgraded Civic and Pilot considering, even if does not reach the precision of these programs installed the most modern adaptive utmost to support the driver.
There will never be tired if someone is experimenting with new generation CR-V, despite being stuck in traffic conditions in the city. That's because the size was designed and accurate calculations in each case, the ability to run on the streets of flexibility and smoother. Some drivers might want to experience a new feel when using the option to add support monitoring the level of concentration of the driver (Driver Attention Monitor) newly furnished.
Conclude:
With all of the upgrades and the latest improvements, CR-V in 2017 with higher prices compared with 2016 version, but this difference was not significant assessment. Accordingly, the base LX version just above $ 200 (4.5 million) than the elder generation and the starting price (in the US) to about $ 24,045 (546 million) are not included transport fee. Meanwhile, high-level Touring version is priced $ 32,395 (736 million) and optional AWD drivetrain (full-time 4-wheel drive) costs $ 1300 (29.5 million).
In 20 years of development, Honda CR-V is no longer own cars the Japanese market that has become common model in many countries are customer favorites. CR-V is a model combining convenience and reasonable prices, which had been caught in the likes of the Honda Accord and Honda Civic. CR-V's new generation of small SUVs promises "the face" many competitors today to conquer more customers looking for a compact car, versatile.
