Test Drive Honda CR-V since 2011 Crossover
Test Drive Honda CR-V: Family friend
When the choice of the car is due to the number of children and the functionality of the car, the view itself allocates CR-V from the crowd of competitors. Journalists are also talking about the fact that the car needs to choose, based on the functions that it will perform. Like, if I need to go home on it and to work, it will be one car, and add a trip to the list to the cottage completely different. Maybe it is so. But here, if you need to go to work, and in the country, and in the summer I want to be warriped in Russia (and suddenly in Europe), and go fishing with friends, then four different cars I will not buy exactly (and who and who This sponsors?). I will take Honda CR-V.
This car first appeared in 1996 and was made on the basis of the Civic model. Logic was simple people need a sports multifunctional car. In other words, it was time to make a crossover Honda.
The current CR-V appeared in 2007 and on account is the third generation of this car. It was his us that we tested.
House-work-house
The route is beaten and popular with everyone. In the morning in traffic jams, in the evening in traffic jams. And also to pick up his wife, and children. Yes, God knows why the car will need a city inhabitant. 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 engine in Russia). Such a CR-V is equipped with an exclusively automatic box with five steps (the same as in Honda Pilot, which Finamauto has already been tested) and has a connected automatic full-drive Real-Time 4WD. Acceleration up to 100 km / h is given to the Japanese crossover in 11 seconds. It is quite enough for the city. The power installed in the CR-V engine is 166 hp It is worth noting that the 2-liter motor is not much weaker than 150 hp Fuel consumption is also quite acceptable: in the city of 13 liters, outside the city of 6-7 liters.
The car's salon has an interesting feature. There is no central tunnel. Due to this, the cabin seems more. The dashboard is informative and easy. Otherwise, the interior of the CR-V is similar to Honda sedans. Like Japanese sedans and sensations from managing this car. Acute response to the steering wheel and sports temper seeming memories of Honda Accord. Compare, of course, it is impossible. But the CR-V handling caused pleasant impressions as his fellow. The car does not throw from the side to the side of maneuvers, does not demolish in turns. Let's go to the country
This path of the CR-V will be easily. There will be no problems and where the roads forgot to spend the road to country houses. Of course, with all-terrain vessels like LR Defender, the Japanese does not take place, but the light off-road CR-V will overcome. Assistants in this case are a complete drive and the ability to lower the transfer, although there is no full-fledged distribution.
The rear seats of the CR-V add up to the backs of the front row, increasing the luggage compartment almost one and a half times.
In the far way
This mode, in my opinion, CR-V loves more than others. For two weeks of the test, we wound up more than 1,500 km. Of these, 900 per weekend. The long road did not affect the back and limbs. True, armrests at CR-V, in my opinion, are not the most comfortable separate attached to the chair. But otherwise, the car carefully refers to the driver and passengers, providing a high level of comfort.
In 2010, the CR-V will be updated. About this FINAMAUTO has already reported in the news. I should notice that restyling will be quite deep. Externally, the crossover will not change much, but will receive new engines, a removed interior and new equipment.
Engine power will be increased to 180 hp Seats will receive a new upholstery. The front seats armrests will be wider (it is nice, they are also small). Whether in Russian versions of CR-V navigation is not yet known. However, in ACCORD models (by rumors) and Legend navigation must be installed by the end of this year. Honda CR-V car personal
The Japanese gave this car everything to like him. The engine power is enough in full, comfort on a very decent level, capacity, and practicality at all, are also the advantages of this car. If when choosing a car, you think about universality, think about CR-V.
The editorial office of Finamauto thanks Honda Motor Rus and Maxim Polozkova personally for the provided car.
The cost of Honda CR-V from 1 million 50 thousand rubles. Maximum equipment CR-V 1 million 350 thousand rubles.
