Honda CR-V 2010: Switching to automatic
Launched on the market in 2007, the third generation Honda CR-V has the right to its restyling. On this occasion, the SUV receives a few subtle alterations Nippon aesthetic and staffing richer. But the tip of the iceberg cache greater changes. Indeed, the Honda CR-V adopts the latest diesel 2.2 i-DTEC, associated for the first time on this model automatic transmission.
Small vanity
Not too enough! This could be the motto of the restyled Honda CR-V. In a subtle recipe, canned Nippon crossover lines, just sprinkled with a few small details, for a more upscale.
To this end, the Honda CR-V has new bumpers front and rear, a new grille and two new wheels (17 or 18 inches depending on the version).
From Luxury finish rocker panels, wheel arches and bumpers are fully painted body color. Three new metallic exterior colors are available: Titanium Silver, Bronze and Silver Albaster.
Crossover Living
The changes inside are even lighter. The interior panels are given a new coating and new colors. The seats are a parent of a new fabric. The result is nicer and more qualitative than the current version of the Honda CR-V.
Five people can ride on the Honda CR-V. The feeling of spaciousness is amplified by the gear lever and handbrake placed high up, thus freeing the central part. Lots of storage are present in the image of the central bin (3.1-liter capacity), the glove box (6.9 liters capacity) and two cup holders. The ergonomics are well thought out, the driver has many features on the wheel. The touch-screen navigation (standard from finishing Luxury) is for him could not be more simple to handle.
The trunk can hold 442-955 liters when the rear seats are completely folded. A shelf “Double Deck” supports up to 10 kg placed at 33 cm above the floor to divide the trunk into several compartments.
2.2 i-DTEC automatic transmission coupled
In 2009, the Honda Accord was first associated with a diesel engine with automatic transmission. Diesel and automatic gearbox, an option increasingly sought by customers. It is therefore natural that the firm Nippon that step on its compact crossover.
Exit the 2.2 I-CDTI up paragraph 2.2 I-DTEC 150 hp, both more powerful, more torque, and less demanding than its predecessor. To do this, the bulk of the work was done at the system common rail injection now more efficient.
The Honda CR-V also reveals very quiet thanks to new insulation on the engine block and has performed work on aerodynamics (new form of mirrors, new fairings) with a gain of 5 dB.
On the road, the 150bhp diesel is quite at ease. The five-speed automatic transmission does not suffer criticism, it delivers all the passages of the report carefully, and knows how to downgrade if need be.
If no sport mode is suggested, the automatic transmission allows you to use as the first, the first two or three initial reports, for those who have the desire to venture off-road. For even if the motorway and roads remained his favorite field, the Honda CR-V is entitled to take you off the beaten track.
On the one hand because it has a ground clearance of 185 mm and an angle of attack of 28 degrees, and partly because it has a non-permanent AWD. This means that the four-wheel drive only work if needed. The rest of the time the Honda CR-V works with two-wheel drive (front). The advantage of this system is to limit consumption of fuel.
Safety equipment
To cover every eventuality, the Honda CR-V has many security features active and passive. The entire range comes standard with the Electronic Stability Control (VSA) combined with traction control, ABS, support the stability of the trailer (TSA) and the system of monitoring tire pressure ( DWS).
The last level of finish, Innova offers the extensive adaptive lights (AFS), an adaptive cruise control (ACC) which regulates the speed but also the distance between you and the vehicle ahead.
And also very innovative system to prevent collisions by braking (CMBS) which anticipates the collision and acted accordingly. This device is divided into three distinct phases:
Phase One: If there is a risk of collision with the vehicle ahead, a beep sounds.
Phase Two: If the driver does not react, the webbing of the belt is slightly stretched two to three times, accompanied by a beep and the word “Brake” on-board computer.
Phase Three: If there is still no reaction from the driver, tend tensioners seatbelts, driver and front passenger, emergency braking is initiated.
Note that this system is completely switched off operates at speeds exceeding 15 km / h.
Finally
The restyling of the CR-V, in addition to small touches make it more stylish is primarily an opportunity for Honda to combine diesel and automatic transmission. With 14% growth between 2008 and 2009, the compact SUV market is feeling pretty good. And competition is fierce, but the Honda CR-V is well armed with style, good road manners and many amenities.
