Honda CR-V test drive since 2009 SUV

Honda Cr-V test drive: family friend

When the choice of a car is due to the number of children and the functionality of the car, the look itself highlights CR-V from a crowd of competitors.
Journalists every now and then say that the car must be selected based on the functions that it will perform. Like, if I need to ride it home and to work, then it will be one car, and add a completely different trip to the list. Maybe it. But if you need to go to work and to the cottage, and in the summer I want to do voyage in Russia (and suddenly in Europe), and fishing with friends to go, then I will definitely not buy four different cars (and whoever Does it sponsor?). I'll take Honda CR-V.
This car first appeared in 1996 and was made on the basis of the Civic model. Logic was simple people needed a sports multifunctional car. In other words, it was time to make Honda a crossover.
The current CR-V appeared in 2007 and in a row this is the third generation of this car. It was we who tested him.
House-work-house
The route is beaten and popular for everyone. In the morning in traffic jams, in the evening in traffic jams. And also to pick up the wife, and children. Yes, God knows why the city resident will need a car. It is difficult to imagine how to do without it.
CR-V in the city feels great. I got a car with a 2.4-liter engine (maximum a engine in Russia). Such CR-V is equipped exclusively with an automatic box with five steps (the same as in Honda Pilot, which Finamauto has already tested) and has a Real-Time 4WD connected automatic all-wheel drive. Acceleration to 100 km/h is given to the Japanese crossover in 11 seconds. It is enough for the city. The power installed in the CR-V engine is 166 hp. Here it is worth noting that the 2-liter engine is not much weaker than 150 hp. Fuel consumption was also quite acceptable: there are 13 liters in the city, 6-7 liters outside the city.
The car interior has an interesting feature of the central tunnel. Due to this, the salon seems more. The dashboard is informative and simple. Otherwise, the CR-V interior is similar to Honda sedans. They look like Japanese sedans and sensations from driving this car. A sharp reaction to the steering wheel and sports disposition elevate memories of Honda Accord. Of course, you can’t compare. But CR-V handling caused pleasant impressions, like his fellow. The car does not throw from side to side with maneuvers, does not demolish in corners.
Let's go to the country
This path CR-V will pass without difficulty. There will be no problems where they forgot to spend the roads to the summer houses. Of course, with all-terrain vehicles like LR Defender, the Japanese will not compete, but the light off-road CR-V overcome. The assistants in this case are all -wheel drive and the opportunity to lower the transmission, although there is no full handful.
The rear seats CR-V fold to the backs of the front row, increasing the luggage compartment almost one and a half times.
On a long journey
This mode, in my opinion, CR-V loves more than others. In two weeks of dough, Honda and I wound more than 1,500 km. Of these, 900 in one weekend. The long road did not affect the back and limbs. True, the armrests of CR-V, in my opinion, are not the most comfortable separate, attached to the chair. But otherwise, the car cares carefully about the driver and passengers, providing a high level of comfort.
In 2010, CR-V will be updated. Finamauto has already reported this in the news. I must note that restyling will be quite deep. Outwardly, the crossover will not change much, but it will receive new engines, an overlapped interior and new equipment.
The engine power will be increased to 180 hp. Seats will receive a new upholstery. The armrests of the front seats will be wider (this is nice, they are and, however, are not enough). Whether navigation will appear in Russian versions CR-V. However, in the models of Accord (according to rumors) and Legend navigation should be established by the end of this year.
 
Honda CR-V car personal car
The Japanese gave this car everything to like it. The engine power is enough, comfort at a very decent level, spaciousness, and practicality in general, are also the advantages of this car. If when choosing a car, you think about universality, think about CR-V.
The editors of Finamauto thanks the company Honda Motor Rus and personally Maxim Polozkov for the car provided.
The cost of Honda CR-V from 1 million 50 thousand rubles. Maximum configuration CR-V 1 million 350 thousand rubles.
