What is it? Hovercraft? No! This is a new generation Honda CR-V, the aerodynamic body kit of which, as it were, sails over the road, causing associations with outlandish amphibians. With cross-country ability, CR-V is really normal, it was not possible to overheat the coupling, despite the absence of any increasing cross-country systems. Surprisingly, there is not even blocking. Everyone is in charge of a hydroelectric system with a cunning name Dual Pump. Even according to the hub in the mud, the car moves very confidently, the electronics carefully throws the torque from the boxing wheel to a clutch, but limits the most, modest road clearance: 175 mm is good for an passenger car, but there is not enough for the SUV! Already at the exit from the landfill, Honda simply stuck the bottom to the rut, I had to resort to the help of the cable.
Radical dissimilarity
on classmates emphasizes individuality, the car is recognizable from any distance
Developed body kit
spoils geometry, hesitates the silhouette, and gives similarity to the vessel on the air cushion
On the asphalt, the first thing you pay attention to high noise. The rumble of Shin dominates the rest of the stimuli, and the elastic suspension loudly notes every seam or pothole. The behavior of the car is collected, pushing for active driving, but there is no feedback that passenger models of the legendary Japanese brand are famous for. From the steering gives some dead synthetics, the reactive effect, although obvious, but artificial. Yes, and the power unit disappointed: it accelerates the SUV to 140 km/h, somehow lifts the speedometer to the mark of 160, and stops taking out its promised 166 horses on this. At the same time, the lack of appetite Honda has not been seen, at a speed of 120-130 km/h, it hardly fits into a 15-liter indicator, characteristic more for full-sized SUVs than for urban ones.
Pepper is not enough
The 2.4 liter motor made the car quickly than with the base of 2.0, but did not add sharpness
Music is louder
you don’t have to do it, automation itself knows about the lack of noise insulation
Rich interior
bribes and forgives flaws in the settings of the suspension, steering and appetite
The Honda CR-V interior makes a very good impression against the background of opponents in the test. The first thing that catches the eye of an even floor with a miniature machine gun by a separate console on the front panel. The rear passengers also do not have to complain. In addition, the rear sofa has longitudinal adjustment. The high quality of materials brings Honda closer, rather, to the level of German cars, and not Japanese, and even more so Korean.
Universal
Honda CR-V not only drives. He can crawl and fly
DESIGN
The first screening of 1995, the new model of 2006. Design under the leadership of Motoaki Minova (Motoaki Minova).
OUTSIDE
This is not a female car, but the style declared by him, which means that it may definitely like the beautiful half of the motorists. Especially in such incendiary color. There is not a drop of rough strength in the style. But there are enough places for which you can (may colleagues, candidates of art history) to see. This state of mind, you see, is suitable for both a short hare short fur coat, and to strict Jersey with a laptop in addition, for example, the corners of the front bumper, along with the headlight of the headlights and the midpot of the air intake, organize a very intricate and original composition. The silver ornament on the radiator cladding, traditional for Japanese auto culture, is once again original, but does not bear the features of continuity with the previous style. The silhouette is the shock part of the CR-V design. Indeed, his dynamics and grace of the side of the side glazing the leader of the test. And also spectacular rear lights!
INSIDE
Everything is a little overly technocratic. For example, technotem, in which the door handrail is executed, there is no style support outside. And the rest of the silver details revive the image only as jewelry. The integrity suffers from this, but not the brightness of emotions that help to feel good in the car of the car.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
The Real Time 4WD system connected all-wheel drive is specially designed for Honda CR-V. It has practically nothing to do with the widespread viscous and consists of two hydraulic pumps combined into the general Dual Pump System (DPS). Under normal conditions, the car is completely front -wheel drive, but in the event of a difference in the speed of rotation of the front and rear axis rotation, the pressure in the anterior hydroelectric pump increases, and the differential instantly closes, throwing the torque to the rear axle. The system works much faster than the traditional interdesty WISKOFT.
 
Configuration
Honda CR-V is presented on the Russian market in five different trim levels. The basic, Comfort, is available only with a mechanical transmission, but all the necessary options are already present here. The Elegance version is located above the step, complemented by light and rain sensors, cast discs and cruise control. EXECUTIVE equipment is even richer, it is available only with a 2.4 liter engine and differs in disks R18, xenon headlights and a CD changer. Iceberg top version of Executive Leather, equipped with a leather interior and seats electric drives.

Honda is the most unusual in the quartet, everything is original here: the decision of the front, and the upper cutting of the windows, and the stamping of the fifth door

The interior pleases with the quality of the finish and pleasant designer sorts of such as a beautiful steering wheel, levers of the automatic transmission selector and manual brake

The information display between the scales looks deliberately outdated

 
Chairs in CR-V are one of the most beautiful and comfortable

The mirror for a review of the situation in the cabin is combined with a scoundrel, it is immediately clear which of the kids is a hooligan

The door handle overlaps access to the windows

 
Everything is very compact, as a result, many useful things settled on a small heel

The machine gun selector is so small that men with wide palms can break the joystick

The rear passengers in Honda are enough space, but without excess
