The CRV Engine, Transmission, and Performance, trim levels and price range
Under the hood, the CR-V is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 190 hp, which is coupled with a CVT and is offered in either a front-wheel or all-wheel drivetrain. The power plant is fitted as standard on the LX, EX and EX-L grades. Importantly, all models come fitted with hill-descent control for added safety on steep or slippry descents.
While the CR-V lacks the driver engagement of the Mazda CX-50 and Volkswagen Tiguan, it rides smoothly enough for the dials not to cross into boring territory.
0 to 60 mph Time – 8.0 seconds for the nonhybrid EX-L series which is 0.1 seconds slower than the hybrid.
Towing capacity: Up to 1500 pounds of trailers can be towed by the CR-V when the right options are fitted.
Fuel Economy
The nonhybrid CR-V is also fuel-efficient, with EPA estimates of 28 mpg city and 34 mpg highway for the front-wheel-drive variant. Choosing the all-wheel-drive option slightly diminishes these figures. In addition, regarding real-world tests, an all-wheel-drive EX-L was able to get 31 mpg whilst driving on a highway.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo Space
The interior of the CR-V further enhances its beauty with its stylish features such as the stylish honeycomb-weaved designed dashboard which helps cover some air vents. Part of the digital speedometer features an analog speedometer and a 7.0-inch screen that offers several driving information. Honda has made sure that the seats are uppishly placed for the least fatigue during the journey duration. The extra leg room above the previous model for the rear seats is 0.6 inches making it more comfortable for passengers.
Measuring 39 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row, CR-V has an everyday usefulness especially with a moulding load floor to enable adjustments.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The touchscreen on the infotainment system is a 7.0-inch one which is mounted on both the LX and EX trims. The system has also added these physical knobs, which are used for tuning and controlling volume levels. Apple Carplay and android auto come as standard apps, however the EX-L variant features a bigger 9.0 inch touchscreen which is also wi-fi enabled. It also comes with the added features of turn by turn navigation, two usb-c ports for the back passengers and a wireless phone charging bay.
