Honda CR-V. Reviews

A comfortable traveling car - this stands for Honda CR-V. Reviews of car enthusiasts do not contradict such an explanation. It has been manufactured since 1995, and since that time has won the recognition of drivers around the world. There is no car in this segment, which in the US would be sold better than him. The last time the market was pleased with the "Iron Horse" 4 generations. Let's try to figure out how good this Honda CR-V is. Feedback and our personal experience will help us in this.

Outwardly, it resembles a larger car of the same series, but only 3 generations. We did not see the outstanding "jaw" of the ancestor. Now the front part of the car has taken on an elegant outline with lightblocks in a modern style. The angle of the windshield is slightly enlarged, the rear lights are reminiscent of one of the Volvo models. As before, the "sportsman" looks quite decent and solid. Everything corresponds to the purpose of the car: it is a universal transport intended for the family, while having small dimensions.

The most positive impression leaves the interior of the Honda CR-V. The owners' opinions are unanimous. The front panel is beautifully designed, the design of the instrument cluster has turned out to be extremely attractive. Maybe the quality of the finishing materials and wishes the best, but this is only in the basic configuration.

Declared the car as a 5-seater. Here the producers did not slukavili. Indeed, it accommodates 5 adults. Of course, it's better not to go to the long distance trip, it will be uncomfortable. Front seats easily move both in the longitudinal direction, and in height. As for the "steering wheel", the driver with the settings do not have any problems. You can easily find the right configuration. Manufacturers have taken care of the convenience inside the cabin. The presence of a large number of "glove boxes", pockets and compartments for small items is impressive. This indicates the attention to the driver and passengers of the Honda CR-V. Reviews did not ignore the capacity of the luggage compartment. At full landing in a luggage carrier remains 1055 liters, and at the combined seats - 2 000 liters. Not bad, considering that everything happens in life.

The car looks good in terms of entertaining and comfortable equipment. In it there is a radio (stereo) with a player for four speakers, power pack, cruise control and stuff. The more expensive equipment is equipped with a satellite radio and already 7 speakers, plus a subwoofer, a Bluetooth headset, electric drives of a driver's seat in 6 directions, multi-level heating of the front seats and upholstery with natural leather, and other accessories of automobile luxury.

Engineers well thought out the security system. Starting from airbags and curtains, ending with active head restraints on the seats. Safety belts have a pretensioner and force limiters. Nothing escaped them.

While Europeans only look at the car, the Americans are already driving along the roads on the CR-V 4WD EX-L, which is equipped with a 1.4 liter 16-valve and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The dynamics of the machine is very good. Up to 100 km / h the car accelerates in 9 seconds. Another standard distance of 400 meters, it passes in 16.9 seconds, and at the finish mark, the speed was 133 km / h.

As for curvilinear trajectories, here he showed himself a little worse. Here you can read reviews. Honda CR-V on a circular platform held good for the "adapter". And yet the driver needs to be careful on sharp turns. If you give "gas" to them, then the car will roll over the outer roadside.

As a result, we got a car with a spacious interior, with good ergonomics of the driver's seat, quality assembly and smooth running. Recommended for people who have a large family. In this segment, he bypasses all nearest competitors.
