What out sold
Toyota Land cruiser and Nissan Patrol
in
2000 and was Hondas biggest seller for four years from 1999? The CRV
!. Its seems like it has been in Australia as a 4x4 vehicle forever,
but it was launched in 1997. What
now for Honda CRV
2010 and 2011?.As a vehicle size was just nice for Mum and the badge
had some city appeal , add the 4x4 idea and the remarkable reliability
from the maker and you have a marketable and popular vehicle.
I still have trouble coming to grips with this as a
4x4 and here today talking about the latest model just in sheer respect for its
popularity .
These days the CR-V is manufactured out of
Thailand just like so much. The 2007 & 2008 Honda 4x4 boasts many changes
significantly the passenger space is 70 mm larger than the previous. Track on
this vehicle is 30mm wider in the front and 20mm wider in the rear. Safety
and the CRV seem to do well see video
CR-V not for the Beach
The four wheel drive system is more for the
weekend dirt road driver and I have heard it stated that this 4x4 system is more
a computerized all wheel drive system and should be viewed as such. God go with
you if you want it on the beach. The 2007 CR-V now has vehicle stability assist
for the first time.
Power just a smidge better than the old one and
that being 7 kw. The Automatic transmission seems to go on forever and
seems as a drive vehicle far different than previous model, I strongly urge a
test drive first I think you will find it a positive choice to make.
Vehicle weight is 1620 kg It would be a terrific 4x4
trivia question if I said what is heavier the Subaru Forester, the
Rav 4, the
Honda CRV or the Nissan X trail?
The answer after the break ....
The Honda CRV is heavier.
This Honda four wheel drive (all wheel drive) is
available in 3 styles, the base, sports and Luxury. Expect quality and
loads of features including heated leather seats in the luxury.
Overall Mum would love it if she is under 6 foot, leg
room still a bit tight but better. And by the way the picnic table that all
previous model had has now gone. Power well I like a bit more you make up your
own mind.
If this is your style you wont be disappointed. Price
is still just a bit high (From $37490-$41990 AUD)

USA Honda CRV 2010 information
2010 HONDA CR-V CHANGES
Styling: Look for subtle nose and tail revisions outside and minor tweaks to some shapes and textures inside. This would come under the heading of a mid-cycle freshening, seeing as how the current-generation CR-V bowed for model-year 2007 and the next-generation version is due for 2012 or so.
Mechanical: A choice of front-wheel drive or no-fuss all-wheel drive models continues. The only selection in a gas engine remains a four-cylinder that can feel underpowered when hauling a full load or merging with fast freeway traffic. The diesel engine also will be a four-cylinder, but will have enough torque to eliminate any feeling of acceleration inadequacy.
Features: No major additions expected – or needed, really. Realize, however, that CR-V offers no stand-alone options. Instead, it ladles on standard equipment as you ascend the model line. The base LX version comes with all the necessities. EX adds desirables such as a power sunroof, six-disc CD audio with steering wheel controls, and outside temperature gauge. The top-line EX-L model features leather upholstery, automatic climate control, heated front seats, and an available navigation system that includes satellite radio and a rearview camera. Lots of factory-approved extras, from wood
interior trim to remote engine start.
